DEAD MAN'S PARTY

Randy Lander at The Fourth Rail lists I Was Someone Dead in his picks for May books. Follow the link to read what else he is into, but here is my blurb:

I Was Someone Dead (Oni Press) - Been awhile since I read Jamie S. Rich's Cut My Hair novel, but I remember really enjoying it, and I'm glad to see a new novel from Oni's former senior editor. This one sounds quite different from the down-to-earth punk coming of age tale of Cut My Hair, being the tale of a man who lives in an island paradise with his faithful dog but suffers nightmares and monsters at night. Rich is a talented writer, and though my prose reading is sadly at an all-time low these days, this one will go on the top of my stack of books to read when it hits.

Also, Oni welcomes 100 Books blogger Maryanne Snell to its fold. Read about it here. Go, Maryanne!

Finally, look for the Hopeless Savages: B-Sides one-shot in comic book stores this week. It's a fun read, and that Toby kid looks eerily familiar.
