As an alternative for a review, synopsis, or anything of the like, I decided to create a soundtrack for the book. Please note that quite a bit of this is intended to be playful and irreverent. I’m rarely serious and this post is no exception. Wanderers by Chuck Wendig is a timely, apocalyptic novel. ItContinue reading “Literary Mixtape | Wanderers”

A biologist, an anthropologist, a psychologist, and a surveyor walk into the jungle… This group of four women, known only by their occupational titles, is the twelfth expedition into remote Area X, a pristine, yet unusual forest that rarely allows survivors. Annihilation is book one in the Southern Reach trilogy and it centers on aContinue reading “Literary Mixtape | Annihilation”
Literary Mixtape | Anne of Green Gables
The world calls them its singers and poets and artists and storytellers; but they are just people who have never forgotten the way to fairyland. Chris Cornell provided much of the soundtrack to my teenage years, and my adult years too, quite honestly. Soundgarden, Audioslave, solo, original or cover, I enjoyed it all. This morning,Continue reading “Literary Mixtape | Anne of Green Gables”
Literary Mixtape | Far from the Madding Crowd
Do you ever want a modern soundtrack to literary fiction? Yes? Me too. That’s the point of this feature. Whereas some people imagine cinematic montages in their head, I create a soundtrack.

I don’t know if that’s true, but I’ve heard it a time or two. Actually, what I’ve heard is it being compared with HarryContinue reading “Literary Mixtape | Flowers in the Attic”
Literary Mixtape: ‘Salem’s Lot
‘Salem’s Lot is the second novel Stephen King wrote and, in my opinion only of course, considerably better than his first. I am rather ambivalent about Carrie; I neither liked nor disliked it. I am glad it wasn’t my first Stephen King novel, as my unadulterated love for all things Stephen King might not haveContinue reading “Literary Mixtape: ‘Salem’s Lot”
