True Grit | Charles Portis
Pickpick

Darkly humorous and meditative, True Grit is a western adventure story that bubbles below the surface with themes of mercy, justice, love, and grace, and whether or not we have the right to distribute them in this life.

Fun, weird, and thoughtful, this graphic novel is a delight.

Lilies of the Field | William E Barrett
Pickpick

Simple and powerful, this short novel displays love and charity as sweeping forces for good in society, while adressing prejudice, manhood, faith, and the role of mythology in culture without feeling overburdened.

Fun story set after the very grim Strange Places story. While that drew on primal and archaic mermaid myths, this draws on Victorian ghost stories and shades of Herman Melville.

The Ape Man's Brother | Lansdale, Joe R.
Bailedbailed

Not as smart as it thinks it is, with none of the fun of the pulp it seeks to lampoon.

Fun, self aware look at the career of Bruce Campbell, up to the end of his time directing episodes of Hercules: The Legendary Journeys.

Wonderful, darkly humorous meditation on religion as a matter of life and death in pursuit of truth.
