Just in time for spooky season (assuming you find pinball the least bit spooky), the good people at Zen Studios have released "Camp Bloodbrook," a virtual pinball table for "Pinball M" inspired by such slasher flicks as "Friday The 13th." But just how spooky is it? Find out in my review...

Informative and entertaining, but Slawenski spends too much time recapping Salinger's stories. Now to reread "Catcher."

I know there's no way this is because Donald Trump cosplayed as a fry cook at a closed McDonalds, but I totally believe this is because Donald Trump cosplayed as a fry cook at a closed McDonalds because I want to believe it and that's how things work now.

Some people look for meaning at the bottom of a bottle. Others by hiking or meditating. But in the lighthearted science fiction novel "The Last Gifts Of The Universe," Scout, their cat, and their brother try to find it by flying around the galaxy. To explain why, and how, check out this exclusive interview with author Riley August.

With "Intersecting Eternity," author Margaret A. Babcock is presenting a follow-up to her 2021 science fiction space opera novel "Eden.2." Though as she explains in our new interview, "Eternity" is less a sequel and more like a chronologically distant relative.

Meh. Thought this rather benign story was getting weirder, and thus more interesting, but I was wrong.  Ah well.

Freaky good in a rather “It” / first season “Stranger Things,”/ “Village Of The Damned” kind of way.
