    [Book Review] Insanity By Cameron Jace & Alice Coffee Alice’s Blend

    Set in modern day, Insanity opens with the discovery of a dead body – a girl whose face has been sewn up into a disturbing grin. The girl is the latest victim of the serial killer known as the Cheshire Cat. Back at Radcliffe Lunatic Asylum, Professor Carter Pillar, a hookah-smoking philosophy professor turned serial killer himself (known as Pillar The Killer), has a plan to stop the Cheshire Cat and ropes fellow patient Alice Wonder, a nineteen-year-old girl with no memories who was institutionalized after killing a bus-load of her peers, into helping. And it just dissolves into madness from there.

    [Book Review] The Resurrectionist By E.B. Hudspeth & Raven’s Brew Coffee Resurrection Blend

    The Resurrectionist: The Lost Work of Dr. Spencer Black is a book told in two parts; the first half is a fictional biography of Dr. Spencer Black, the second is a series of illustrations attributed to the doctor. When I picked up the book, the first thing I did was leaf through the illustrations in the back. I was immediately struck by how well-done and detailed they were and became fascinated with the combination of mythological creature anatomy and medical science – little did I know at the time, but after finishing the fictional biography part of the book, I would never look at those images the same again.

    [Book Review] High Stakes By Brandy Schillace & Boca Java Atomic Cinna-Buzz

    Narrated by sixteen-year-old Jacob Maresbeth, High Stakes reads like the most interesting “How I Spent My Summer Vacation” essay I’ve ever read. Jake is not a vampire, not really. Except he kind of is. He drinks blood and his internal clock definitely has a nocturnal preference. But beside that, he’s pretty much your average healthy, growing teenage boy. And being an average teenage boy, he’s pretty disgruntled that he has to leave the sunny beaches of his home town of Newport News, Virginia to spend two weeks of his summer vacation with his younger sister in Cleveland, Ohio with their Aunt Sylvia, an eccentric English professor. Aunt Sylvia’s been kept…
