I read all kinds of books – why? Because I like to find things out. Would I have hunted this book out or even picked it up in the normal course of things? No, probably not. The way it came into my hands was via a guy who was doing a follow-up after one of [...]

Out Of The Gutter never pulls any punches and Issue 5 is no exception. If you like your fiction mean and dirty; want writing that has that gut-churning authenticity which keeps you coming back for more, then this is the place. Matthew Louis gives us stories from Charlie Stella, Vicki Hendricks, and others that provide [...]

From one book of essays to another; from one book which I found essential to another which I found to be the total opposite, and it pains to me say that. I like David Mamet – I like his films and I like the plays that I have read; I’ve enjoyed a couple of interviews [...]

When you read a book of essays you are hoping to get an insight into the subjects under discussion that you may not have arrived at by yourself; or you are looking for an opinion on something that you are not knowledgeable about yourself – you seek to educate yourself; or perhaps you want an [...]

I will admit that this book was a hard one to read for me but I wanted to persist with it because it was recommended to me by a friend and, despite the fact that I don’t agree with a lot of the things said, I am glad that I read it.
I found myself carrying [...]

Please support an up and coming writer with a lot to [...]

It seems fitting to me somehow that I bought my copy of this book second hand. I had seen the film first and had remembered it as a charming film that was one of those stories that no bibliophile or romantic could fail to fall in love with; well, unless they had a heart of [...]

This comic has a great feel from the start — an atmosphere that permeates from the establishing panels of the first installment right through to the current week’s episode. It has grit — the same kind of grit that pumped in the blood of those old pulp detective stories; the big heart and the situation [...]
