Fans of the hard-boiled detective genre and grittier comics will enjoy 'Mickey Spillane’s Mike Hammer.' The casual sexism and senseless brutality may offend modern sensibilities. But taken as a product of the time in which it was originally created, this is a beautiful adaption, keeping alive one of pulp fiction’s most distinctive characters.

A Voice in the Dark is a mature psychological horror-thriller comic that’s heavy on the psychology and light on the gore and violence. Its creation is also a remarkable and inspiring success story on numerous levels.

If you like noir, cop stories and smart sci-fi, this book combines them all into one fabulous package.

This novel is yet another delightful addition to Titan Books' excellent Sherlock series.

The Sign Of Three takes a risk by being the most comedic episode of Sherlock. The episode has laughs all over the place mixed liberally with sentimental feelings and a small pinch of a dramatic moment.

With the combination of a fascinating story, superior wit, and a traditional hard-boiled detective fiction plot swerve at the end, "Something More Than Night" makes for an all-around great read.

In short, James Lovegrove's 'Sherlock Holmes: The Stuff of Nightmares' is everything a Sherlock Holmes fangirl like me could ask for.

'The Cuckoo's Calling' is an intriguing story unfolded with Rowling’s expert timing and sense of natural pace. This is Rowling at her best.

Overall, 'Deadbeat: Makes You Stronger' is a successful novel in both its plot and narrative structure. I look forward to reading more from Guy Adams and recommend this to any reader who enjoys horror, dark humor and crime fiction, especially when they're all mixed together.
