Great local history of shipwrecks of the Atlantic Coast
I first picked up this book when I was 14 at a local bookstore in Wilmington, N.C. Ever since then I have been enchanted with stories of shipwrecks and the drama involved in them. This book describes the particularly dangerous coast of North Carolina where the warm ...

Could have been better
Very interesting account of World War II Pacific wreck sites. However, I was hoping for a detailed photographic examination of the wrecks.

Roadside Relics: America's Abandoned Automobiles
Will Shiers
Motorbooks
, 2006
Rusted Relics Live
Beautiful images of burnt out, rusted, and dead classic cars, trucks and vehicle parts, dressed in weeds, grass and mud...lovely. Not so much in your neighborhood, but they make fabulous images in their abandoned settings.
The Graveyard Game (The Company)
Kage Baker
Tor Books
, 2005
Brilliant and Funny
Kage Baker has a unique sense of humor that has caused me to laugh out loud on several occasions. Despite being a book with time travel it makes no absurd claims (aside from the premise of time travel). Paints an eerily likely view of a dystopian future.

Mike Dash

Hansel and Diesel
Laura Geringer
, 2006
Great Fun to Read to the Grandkids
An excellent and fun book to read to the grandkids (ages 2 to 7). Should be great for kids who are readers, too.
Little Fuzzy
, 2008
Brilliant, Delightful And Sometimes Haunting Science Fiction Great
Although quite short, the fast-paced, truly moving, and often very comedic "Little Fuzzy" is one of my choices for science fiction literature's truly great novels. The wit, the charm, and the brilliant characters will all stay with the reader long after the final page ...
The Kindaichi Case Files: Graveyard Isle (Graphic Novels)
Yozaburo Kanari
TokyoPop
, 2007
Kindaichi's done it again!
You know, I've yet to read a volume of this series that I don't get into. Every volume has me spellbound & guessing until I finish (or until I peek) the manga. This particular case file has Kindaici & his childhood friend Miyuki visiting an island with a group of ...
Waiting for Gertrude: A Graveyard Gothic
Bill Richardson
Thomas Dunne Books
, 2003
cat lovers stop here.....
This is one of my absolutely favorite books. The story is funny, sweet and whimsical. If you aren't partial to cats, this may hold no interest for you, because the entire charm of the story is the idea of all these famous (and infamous) people being reincarnated as ...
