THE INFINITE MAN
This was the first collection by the late William Relling, Jr.—or would have been, at least, had its publisher not gone belly-up before THE INFINITE MAN’S scheduled 1989 publication

GRANDMOTHERS RECHARGE WELL!

HORNS
Joe Hill’s second novel is far better overall than its predecessor A HEART-SHAPED BOX, fulfilling many things the previous book promised but didn’t deliver.

The idea of a man-made drug causing people to lose their sexual inhibitions had been done before THE GAS saw print and after, but no other novel took the concept as far as Platt did.
