I Was a Teenage Ghost Hunter review: It has “everyone's favorite spooky tropes; from the decrepit, haunted mansion to the mystery of the powerful, brooding phantom, this story is everything you need to get your fix of a classic yet modern-feeling ghost story.” amzn.to/1gwPt3U #halloween #booksky

Bigfoot Haiku #6

Bigfoot had a dream
about a bear drunk on gin
but then he woke up.

Bigfoot roamed the aisles
distraught, moaning the closure
of his local Sears.

A sinister disembodied head floating in the library? Just one of the spirits our heroes face in I Was a Teenage Ghost Hunter. "This book was a whole lot of creepy fun!" - Amazon review. amzn.to/1gwPt3U #halloween #spookyseason #booksky #ghosts #supernatural #paranormal #ya #fiction #humor #kindle

“All art is a message, we want to communicate something but maybe not an entirely graspable something, maybe there’s a kind of sense only non-sense can convey.” – Garth Greenwell, Small Rain. #quote #quotes #booksky #fiction #novel #garthgreenwell

Royalty Haiku

By the vapid king
With an endless rant of gripes
The grim princess screamed.

Mad Vampire Haiku

Twisting his pancake
A mad vampire drew the wrath
of a grim trucker.

Amazon review: “Once I picked up I WAS A TEENAGE GHOST HUNTER…I couldn’t put it down and read it over two enjoyable afternoons. As with the best young adult fiction, this book is just as enjoyable for adults.”

Dosie stood and sauntered over to her windows, gazing out soulfully at the mock chicken processing plant. “Lim and I lived in different worlds. Me in the world of fashion, him in the world of long-form non-narrative experimental video.” #mystery #parody #kindle #fiction #booksky bit.ly/43FRVGC

5 out of 5 stars to The Inside Story by Martin Amis. In this intense and wide-ranging autobiographical novel, Amis relates tales of his friendships with fellow writers Christopher Hitchens, Saul Bellow and Philip Larkin. Recommended! #booksky #fiction #martinamis #books #autobiography

Teenage Ghost Hunter is more of a straightforward YA story with humor and Murk City is more of a full-on parody of mysteries. Thanks for asking!

Arthur Irving Rush - Paradise Lost #7 - Finale Let's change things up a bit. We'll be reading one of the great epic poems this time around. This is the inspiration of so many amazing pieces of media. Please feel welcome to join and listen/read ...

Absolutely love this book. Made me ugly cry several times.

Kirkus Reviews magazine picked my fun 1930s "The Cold Kid Case: A Sparky of Bunker Hill Mystery" for the 8/1/2025 issue. They select under 25% of indie books for the magazine. Wow!

Pasta Poetry No. 2

Muttering in thick whispers
Secreted in the dank alley
The lurking gnocchi plotted their
Incursion into Lester’s cellar
As he obliviously hunched
Damp as moist cheese
Sewing on another doll head.

The detectives interrogate suspect Bertholdt Tunsten:

“Come now, detectives, you already interrogated me on Rustine’s loggia. Must you now invade my little vacation hideaway?”

“I hate to break it to you, Tunsten, but murder doesn’t take a vacation,” said Rochelle.

Yes, the outhouse scene at the beginning is famous.

That sums it up pretty well. 😬

Good luck! I read a bunch of the study guides / anaylses and still didn't understand 80% of it. 🤨

I did it guise! It took me two months, but I finally made it through Joyce’s Ulysses (My head hurts). Now onto all the study guides and encyclopedias of annotations to help deepen my understanding of the work. w00t! #BookSky #LiteraryModernism #JamesJoyce #Ulysses #PoldyBloom

I must be one of the last people to read it but it blew me away. 😮

I really enjoyed this book, too. I just happened upon Circe, and enjoyed it so much I immediately picked up this one. So glad I did!

5 out of 5 stars to The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller. I can’t say enough good things about this novel. Miller makes the characters and events from Achilles’ story more lively and vivid than I would have thought possible. So recommended! #booksky #fiction #novels #songofachilles #myth

Yeah, I’ve read the first and need to get to the other two ; )

More Happy Than Not is great. Love Adam Silvera.

Get ready for spooky season with I Was a Teenage Ghost Hunter!

Amazon review: “This novel has everything: suspense, adventure, humor, horror, all mixed together perfectly. It goes from moments of tension to hilarious dialogues…” bit.ly/45GbWPI #paranormal #booksky #kindle #fiction #ya #occult

It's a strange killing at the Volcano Lounge in my mystery comedy Murder in Murk City: “I don’t care how many suckers you’ve lured into your shady eruption racket, Muggett. Not even the smell of burning magma can cover the stench of this killing.” bit.ly/43FRVGC #kindle #kindleunlimited #booksky

4 out of 5 stars to The Slowworm’s Song by Andrew Miller. Meditative novel narrated from the point of view of a recovering alcoholic coming to terms with trauma suffered as a soldier in Belfast during The Troubles. Recommended! #fiction #booksky #litfic #novels #books
