RITUAL

There are some ingeniously nasty elements in this 1988 horrorfest, yet also some misconceived ones, all packed into a vastly overblown framework

SPICY LADY

The term “product of its time” could have been coined to describe this novel

THE DIAMOND BOGO

Impossible to adequately categorize, this “African Idyll” tells the story of a hunt for a buffalo with a priceless diamond stuck to its head

PIG TALES

The cover and description make this novel seem like a light-hearted satire, which it isn’t
