Comics Review: CLEAN ROOM #1-6

Last updated on: May 27, 2016 at 11:53 am By J. Ryan Parker

I rarely put warning labels on reviews, but the new Vertigo series, Clean Room, deserves one. This is one of the most messed up series I’ve ever read, but I’m loving it. It’s not for the faint of heart or the easily offended, but if you’re up to a challenge, it can be an entertaining one. (more…) Read more

THE LONEY Book Review

Last updated on: May 25, 2016 at 6:21 pm By J. Ryan Parker

Andrew Michael Hurley’s first novel, The Loney is an unforgettable experience. With elements of Gothic horror, it’s a haunting one too. But that doesn’t mean it should be pigeonholed into a specific genre, because it’s narrative transcends any of those constraints. Part thriller, part horror, part family drama, it’s also a rich reflection on the nature of faith and (dis)belief, and the lengths to which both will drive the faithful and the unfaithful alike.

THE CITY OF MIRRORS: A Review

Last updated on: May 23, 2016 at 9:51 am By J. Ryan Parker

Justin Cronin’s “vampire” trilogy reaches its thrilling conclusion this week with the publication of The City of Mirrors. If you’re familiar with the previous two entries, The Passage and The Twelve, then you know calling it a vampire trilogy is selling it short, threatening to put it alongside the likes of the Twilight series. It’s so much more than that. Cronin’s is a deeply human narrative of love, families, friendships, and sacrifice set against an impossibly apocalyptic background. (more…) Read more

Book Review: MARY WEPT OVER THE FEET OF JESUS

Last updated on: May 10, 2016 at 2:12 pm By J. Ryan Parker

Tamar, Rahab, Ruth, Bathsheba, Mary. These women, all listed in the genealogy of Jesus in Matthew, are the inspiration for Chester Brown’s latest graphic novel, Mary Wept Over the Feet of Jesus: Prostitution and Religious Obedience in the Bible (Drawn & Quarterly, 280 pgs.). Like one of my favorite new comic books, The Goddamned, Mary Wept invites us to return to familiar biblical stories for new (at least to many of us) interpretations. While many of Brown’s conclusions will shock some readers, he can’t be accused... Read more
