So … you fancy yourself a Stephen King fan? Think the term “Constant Reader” was invented solely for you? Feel confidant that you know his works inside and out? Unless you’ve tested yourself against The Illustrated Stephen King Trivia Book, it’s all empty boasting.

Sherlock Holmes vs. Dracula. It sounds like fan fiction, the kind of clumsy mash-up written in overly purple prose and shared on someone’s blog; or, perhaps, like the literary equivalent of comic book fanboy arguments, the ones that start with questions like, “Who is stronger: Superman or the Hulk?”

I'm not usually a big fan of experimental fiction. I'm old-fashioned that way. To me, the traditional story structure works so well, I don't often see a good reason to monkey with it.

There’s no escape quite like what you can find in the pages of a good book. A good book makes everything around you melt away.

Adam Cesare wrote two of the best books I’ve read this year – Tribesmen and Video Night.

I don’t know if Adam Cesare is old enough to have lived through the home video horror boom of the 1980s.

Family feuds are a huge part of the history and folklore of this country. The Hatfield and McCoy families alone have accounted for endless books, television shows and punch lines.
