Album – We Are Not Your Kind
We Are Not Your Kind,:the stylistic and musical range is so wide, I’m sure there’s an entry point even for those who are not fans of metal. How can you not like one of these songs? It’s unfeasible.

Book Review – Sherlock Holmes and the Case of the Undead Client by M.J. Downing
On paper the blending of Sherlock Holmes, Voodoo, Zombies and Jack The Ripper sounds fascinating but the implementation of trying to shoe horn them all into a plausible story was not
Book Brief – The Body At The Tower by Y.S. LeeΒ
My enjoyment of the investigation was further enhanced by the social commentary.

Book Review – Sorry For The Dead by Nicola Upson
I enjoyed this trip through interconnected relationships to the vivid backdrop of England between the two world wars, the ramifications of love in all its guises and evidence that bigotry – overt or understated – is still harmful. It is a nuanced rendition of cause and effect and particularly touching to read during this period around Remembrance Sunday.
