Take a sneak peek at the cover that perfectly captures the essence of a future f...

I've been a fan of Mark's novels since he began his Zachary Blake series, and this new release (despite being stand-alone now) reminds me exactly why I follow him. 'Love Hate Law' is a tension-filled romance novel with a courtroom backdrop, and seeing the protagonists fall for one another despite th...

Recently I watched the 1974 film, CHINATOWN for the umpteenth time. Such a great film. Now I'm reading Sam Wasson's 2020 book, The Big Goodbye: Chinatown and the Last Years of Hollywood. So far it's excellent.
This is a eyewitness account from a 14-17 yr old of the Schindler group.
About the first drug smuggling gang! Fascinating, well-researched book about early drug venture, maybe first of its kind.. If you have any interest in 1900-1925 era drug Dealing/ smuggling,etc., which little has been eritten about, you will love this book.
Cool idea.
Who is the author? I'd like to read it.Sign me: History Buff.
Hi, Creative community :) I’m looking for some book recs as the holidays approached! What have you read recently that you liked?
I read the 7 husbands of Evelyn Hugo. It was pretty good. Currently reading The Gift of Fear by Gavin DeBecker.
If you want a true story that is an historical thriller, read the IPA’s gold medal winner (2017), “The Embassy” by Dante Paradiso (but it’s pretty gritty).
John David Brookshire - I read 7 Husbands of Evelyn Hugo, as well, thought it was a fun ride.
This one is a classic for a reason. This book is the first (of at least 3?) books by the author and screenwriter William Goldman. He won both Best Original Screenplay (Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid) and Best Adapted Screenplay (All The President's Men) Oscars as well as both the original book a...

Excellent book, it is! I read it in the late 80's and then again in the 90's.
this book resonated so deeply with me, I found myself carrying it around my apartment like a talisman. the author attended and graduated from Harvard divinity school. Her prose is so strong, that you can smell the burnt rice, and cringe at the scampering spider escaping its web. this book is a haunting and potent read.
Anyone else read it? Thoughts?
So interesting, I saw the press for it! How was the book?
it was fucking fascinating Sydney Summers. A very complex man who has a clear vision and will stop at nothing to attain it. Highly recommend.
The book is great. I really enjoyed reading it
Maria Barnett what was your favorite part? I found the Kwajalein part for the rocket launch very interesting. I also enjoyed so many different peoples perspectives on working with him - such a polariz...

Anyone read any good horror novels lately? What would you recommend?
I just read Richard Chizmar's Becoming The Boogeyman. It's a sequel to an earlier one called Chasing the Boogeyman, which I didn't read, but it stands alone. Interesting premise--in it, the character...

I'd recommend watching FANG - low budget horror but a good story on mental health.

I’ve read a lot of great books lately but no horror ones :)
I just finished this one, and Hanks is one hell of a writer. I've spent time on multiple TV sets, production offices, etc., (though not on location with feature films), and went to film school, and I learned things from this novel--insider details--that I'd never heard about. Interestingly, it's not...

I just began to read it a few days ago. Quite entertaining!
Thank you for the recommendation. I didn't know Tom Hanks wrote novels. I will definitely check it out.
He's surprisingly good at it!
Never heard of this...I'm excited to read this!
Thomson asks many important questions about American social mores and tastes as he explains how, over time, we've become inured to violence in media, especially film. Of course, he covers the GREAT ones: Hitchcock's Psycho, Lang;s "M", etc. But he goes beyond the steady change from murder is evil to...
