This is a very short story anyone should read it. I give it three stars because it is show short. Still, it was only meant to be published on a post card!

Tony's Review of Holey Ghosts Holey Ghost by Laura Koerber is a reflective and quietly layered work that blends the supernatural with personal searching. It does not approach ghosts as something to fear in the traditional sense. I...

Interesting book. It lacks some polish, however there is a good story and take on life in it. I enjoyed it, 4 star for me, have some patience and give it time if you read it. Horror elements yes, scary no.

Tony's Review of The Temple The Temple by H. P. Lovecraft is a tightly controlled descent into isolation, pride, and the slow collapse of reason. It is one of his more focused stories, built not on sprawling myth but on pressure...

Yes, the science is wrong, U-boats were not like that and the German depiction in 1920, problematic. Still 5 star read for me, it's the story and rare I would still like it so much.

I am not sure why this story gets to me so well. I really like it and need to think on it. 5 star read for me and an easy read for Lovecraft. Another good first Lovecraft read for folks new to him.

Sub-sub genre yea, but it does have plausible science in it, some of which we are doing to a small degree now. Still, I do like what he does in this book. But yes, it's not classic Sci Fi.

Tony's Review of Jurassic Park Jurassic Park by Michael Crichton is a sharp, controlled piece of science fiction that uses dinosaurs as spectacle but never forgets that its real subject is human arrogance. This is not just a story ...

One of the few books where the movie is not a letdown to readers imo. While the book is much more serious, the movie is still great also. 5 Star-read and a great Sci Fi work.

I am glad it was me. The error was a large one. I got so involved in story line I did not think about what it broke lol. This is what I get for gen outlines, but I do like how they allow you to follow something that pops up. The adventure of writing and the feeling you discovered not invented.
