My #fridayread from a couple weeks ago. A coming of age story unlike any other except that coming of age is unlike anything else. Bold, daring, and not for the faint of heart.

Happy Birthday Stephen King! Thanks for all the yarns that knit our lives together.
This one is just a beauty. Prose so delicate it is like water moving around rock.
Just jumped to second on my fall #tbr list after ARCADE BY David Nellins Smith
The back jacket makes this book sound like a must read. I remember the original jacket flap never sounded this intriguing.
As I have been thinking about my own jacket, it's amazing how much the point of view of the jacket script transforms the stakes of the story.
This new edition is especially creepy. I think it would scare me on the shelf in my office when I'm working late.
Went to one of my favorite indie bookstores in Rockport, MA and found this book. Sounds good. Very excited to check it out.
That's it, only action stories for the rest of the summer! Especially if they have covers this beautiful.
I want to read something this good again this summer! One of last year's best thrillers
For those who have filled their #summerreading list. This is a perfect September book
As beautifully design as it is written. A woman who sets her passions aside for love in 1940s Los Alamos, New Mexico during a time of dark secrecy and danger.
I'm particularly excited about this one! Great title. Set in New Mexico--one of my favorite places on earth. From a great publisher that spots top notch talent. 4th Estate Books
I want to call it hard boiled noir at its best, but I think cops or detectives have to show up for it to be hard boiled.
The inspiration for Camus The Stranger-- what more do you need.
A+
One of America's trifecta of lit grit greats. You can smell the engine oil on the page. And the gun powder burns stain your hands.
Tomorrow night. Brookline Booksmith. 7pm. A gathering of some of this generations best horror writers. @joe_hill Thomas Olde Heuvelt Paul Trombley
Epic line up of #writers in Brookline next Monday
The dark side of reality TV. What if the world ended when you were a contestant in a game. Would you believe it or just think it was a perverse twist of the producer's imagination.
One of the strangest, most profound paragraphs of 21st Century Literature. The labyrinth of human history carved into the side of our predecessors--the fish.
#summerreading time. Pirates, treasure, tropical locals. Makes a mojito and pull up a porch chair. This is going to be a good yarn!
Perfect #fridayread
Especially the story Antarctica. Siblings searching for each other on the frozen halo of the earth.
Just started. Eerily similar to a screenplay I had produced in January/2016. So perversely intrigued to see how the author resolve the story. So far the 3rd person of the prologue works better than the 1st person present of the 1st chapter.
It reads like a dark turn on Lifetime Channels Unreal.
A thriller for people who like their characters to propel the story.
Do people still read this book? They should! When you get to the end it's like you slammed a slush puppy and your brain stops and your head vibrates.
Remember that disconcerting feeling when you walked out of the movie Momento. Like walking backwards with your eyes closed and being told all the secrets.
It could give the buzziest books of the summer a run for their money.
The kind of funny that splits your sides open then inserts hot coals and stitches them closed again.
Read the brief, biting "The Casserole" and wait for the narrator to catch up to the inevitable kick in the gut from his in laws and wife.
Research, research, research
The original unreliable narrator.
Before Gone Girl and The Girl on the Train there was Ford Madox Ford. And everyone else pales in comparison.
Long after you put it down you still feel like someone is in the shadowy corner of the room watching you.
If someone were to come back from hell this is the story he would tell.
Love poems from a place that is older than faith
Under the Pitons one of the tour de force short stories of the nineties. Down on his luck cook tries to make a big score in order to open a restaurant. In deep water before he leaves the dock.
