Vonnegut
I discovered Vonnegut when I was around 12 or 13. I instantly fell in love with every single one of his books I could get my hands on. And after all these years he is still one of my favorite authors. And this book of short stories is wonderful, especially if you are ...

A book for those who hate JDC... and those who like him
This is an unusual Carr one meet in "The Emperor's Snuff-Box". No locked room or any other kind of impossible crime here. No Gideon Fell or Henry Merrivale. "Snuff-Box" is a stand-alone, one of those experimental books that Carr attempted now and then. And one of his ...

Snuff
Chuck Palahniuk
Doubleday
, 2008
Not as good as his other books
I hate to be mean to authors because they're giving it their best (or at least I hope so), but this book made me feel like Palahniuk is just writing because it's his job. It wasn't a gripping tale like Fight Club or even Diary, and it was only 180 pages so it's only ...

Snuff Fiction
Robert Rankin
Corgi Books
, 2000
The Big AH-CHOO
Fantastic stuff! If only Rankin had a U.S. publisher the prices of his hysterical books would be a little more tolerable. "Snuff Fiction" is one of his best, a pseudo-memoir written in 2008 about the life of the Doveston, purveyor of the world's bestest tobacco & ...
