| Maybe if I'd read this book when it came out in 2007, I would've been impressed by how groundbreaking it was in acknowledging the buried history of Black and African American cemeteries. From the perspective of 2024, the book seems to focus too much ...more | |

| I bought this because authors I respect were chatting on social media about how they reread this every year, one chapter a day during the holidays, matching the chapters to the days on the calendar. I don't know. Maybe you need to grow up with this, ...more | |

| Wow, would I love to see a Netflix series about John Conquer. The book's tagline describes him as "the supernatural brother like no other." Channeling the spirit of 70s funk and Blaxploitation movies, Conquer has come back to Harlem from the Vietnam ...more | |

| Meticulously researched and thoroughly fascinating: if you are going to read one book about why the cemeteries were evicted from San Francisco, this is the one. From a Spanish colony founded by conquistadors and priests, through the village drowsing ...more | |

| I love the concept that time in Old Tokyo shrank during the winter and expanded in the summer, so that even though there were the same number of hours in the day, the hours got longer or shorter depending on the amount of daylight. I expected this bo ...more | |

The thing I love best about Occult Detective magazine is the variety of "detectives" involved. In this issue, they range from cops to school masters, witches to a half-demon Russian count (which was actually one of my favorite stories in the issue). I ...more |

“Curiosity is the single most important attribute with which humans are born. More than a simple desire to discover or know things, curiosity is a powerful tool, like a scalpel or a searchlight. Curiosity changes us. It is also a way to effect change, perhaps even on a global level.”

“For these beings, fall is ever the normal season, the only weather, there be no choice beyond. Where do they come from? The dust. Where do they go? The grave. Does blood stir their veins? No: the night wind. What ticks in their head? The worm. What speaks from their mouth? The toad. What sees from their eye? The snake. What hears with their ear? The abyss between the stars. They sift the human storm for souls, eat flesh of reason, fill tombs with sinners. They frenzy forth....Such are the autumn people.”
