The Grove by John Rector

My review of The Grove by John Rector is up at spinetingler.

Treat your eyes HERE.

I think my use of the word "treat" was a way of hipping you to the fact that this again a sort of horror-ish book in honor of Halloween.

It's either that or I'm slowing turning into a fucking powdered wigged dandy named Lord Reginald Bottomfellow III.

The Caretaker or Lorne Field by Dave Zeltserman

My review of the new Dave Zeltserman, The Caretaker of Lorne Field, is up at spinetingler.

Give it a look-see right HERE.

Horror week continues here at Nerd of Noir headquarters and...jesus, I can't even pretend to be interested in coming up with a lame goblin joke or some tacky bullshit tag like that.

I'm reviewing some horror novels because we're in the month Halloween falls on. How's that bland-but-serviceable-shit grab you?

Hater and Dog Blood by David Moody

My review of Hater and Dog Blood by David Moody is up at spinetingler.

Check that shit out right here.

Since it's the month of ghosts and ghouls (jesus christ is that fucking lame sounding) I figured I'd review a few horror-ish books the next few days starting with these two nasty motherfuckers.

If you don't like it, I don't know what to tell you other than...sorry. I'm spineless and will stop if you, the reader, tell me to.

Red Riding Trilogy by Julian Jarrold, James Marsh & Anand Tucker

My review of the Red Riding Trilogy from directors Julian Jarrold, James Marsh and Anand Tucker is up at spinetingler.

Give it a look HERE.

If you haven't read the Red Riding Quartet by David Peace and are a fan of James Ellroy you'll probably wanna do that shit up first.

But don't let anybody tell you what to do. The world? It's YOUR fucking oyster, my man.

The Town by Ben Affleck

My review of The Town directed by Ben Affleck is up at spinetingler.

Check it out HERE.

Not to blow your mind or anything, dear reader, but this particular Ben Affleck film concerns itself with a certain urban area within the borders of the great state of Massachusetts...

Harry Brown by Daniel Barber

My review of director Daniel Barber's Harry Brown starring Michael Caine is up at spinetingler.

Go forth and readeth, young douche!

I just called you a douche. That was totally unfounded and uncalled for and the Nerd apologizes.

On the plus side: I did just call you young. That probably doesn't happen much anymore now does it?

Animal Kingdom by David Michod

My review of Animal Kingdom from writer-director David Michod is up at spinetingler.

Give it a look HERE.

I try not to post twice a day but I really want to get the word out on this motherfucker.

It's opening in a number of cities today and you would be well-fucking-served to catch this shit in the theater.

The Long Fall by Lynn Kostoff

My review of Lynn Kostoff's The Long Fall is up at spinetingler.

Check that shit out HERE.

This one should probably be a Catching Up review, but I kind of think I'm done with that shit.

Spinetingler has become too much of a home for me to not put all the shit I can up there.

Think of the blog proper as more of a place to find all my shit than as a place to read my shit.

Savages by Don Winslow

My review of Savages by Don Winslow is up at spinetingler.

Read that shit HERE.

I've gotta go back and catch up with this Winslow guy. This shit truly blew me away.

Any of the faithful out there have suggestions for what of his I should pick up next?

The Wolves of Fairmount Park by Dennis Tafoya

My review of The Wolves of Fairmount Park by Dennis Tafoya is up at spinetingler.

Read that shit HERE.

Fuck, to say dude's got ambition is to say, like, Dolly Parton has a decent sized rack.

Did I just make a Dolly Parton tit joke? Jesus, who am I supposed to be? Johnny Carson Jr.?

Cell 211 by Daniel Monzon

My review of the film Cell 211 from director Daniel Monzon is up at spinetingler.

Educate your ass HERE.

Fucked up that no one's talking about this film. I mean, all the hoidy-toidy film critics (justly) creamed over A Prophet but then this motherfucker comes to fucking radio silence?

I guess I'll just have to be the prophet for this film then, right? You get it?

Excuse me while I go kill myself.

Crime Factory Vol. 2 No. 4

The latest edition of Crime Factory is up and yours truly has another "Crime Sleeper Double Feature" up in that beautiful bitch.

The movies in question are John M. Stahl's Leave Her To Heaven and Jean Negulesco's Road House and it can be found on pages 68-72 HERE.

You'll also find in there new fiction by badasses like Allan Guthrie, Kieran Shea and Graham Powell as well as kick ass features from Liam Jose, Keith Rawson, Cameron Ashley, and many more.

Oh, and to answer your question: No, I am not talking about the Swayze Road House.
