About Me

Moderated by:

You don't have to be to do a book review.

Just send us your thoughts on a genre fiction title and

MySpaceBookClub.com will publish it to the world.

Nickolas Cook

 

Nickolas Cook lives in the beautiful Southwestern desert with his wife and three pugs. He is the Fiction Moderator for the Shocklines Writing Group , the Chat Host for The Message Board of the Damned and the Writers' Forum Moderator at Alternative Reality Web-Zine . His fiction and non-fiction have appeared in several magazines. He collects jazz and blues, and is still trying to learn how to play the trumpet like his hero, Miles Davis.

David L Tamarin

 

David L Tamarin lives in a locked cell in a dungeon in the middle of nowhere. The vicious monsters who hold him as captive throw books into his cell which he must read and review in order to be fed and allowed to use a bathroom. He has not seen the light of day for thousands of years and his limbs have atrophied to the point that he can barely crawl. His reviews and interviews have been published on many websites and in magazines such as Verbicide, Red Scream and Sinfully-Twisted. He is a staff writer for Scars Magazine. He has had over 75 fiction publications and acceptances in the two years since he began submitting his fiction, including Chimeraworld 2 and 3, The Dream People, Escaping Elsewhere, Gothic Fairy Tales, Logical-Lust, corpsefuck, bloodcookies, The Blackest Death volume III, Project Contagion volume I, alt.sex.stories, Bust Down the Door and Eat All the Chickens and Cherry Bleeds. He has self-published two short story collections, including Baby in a Blender and an e-book entitled Let Them Eat Snuff, available from Meat Hook Press.

 

Beware, because he has been planning his escape. Look behind you.
 

Saranna De Wylde

I am a reader, author and editor specializing in erotica, horror, custom fiction and the bizarre. My work has appeared in several magazines and anthologies. Along with my adoration for language, I have a BA in English. I wrote my first story at the age of eight after watching The Exorcist. As an editor I have been a copy editor, assistant editor and finally, waded through dreaded slush piles as an acquisitions editor.  Now I'm here, at My Space Book Club waiting to be shocked, awed, moved and best of all, entertained.

James, the Spade

I am a chameleon, effortlessly becoming black or white, well-spoke or ignorant, insightful or short-sighted. I am a loose cannon, equally comfortable in a professional monkey suit and noose or with my sweats hanging low enough to give me room to breathe. I am rage, weaving through life's traffic, passing on double yellow lines and daring you to drive the speed limit. I am death, puttin' in mad work every time I put pen to paper.

... and now I am also a worm, chewing through pages of pulp and regurgitating digested thoughts about books submitted by MySpace authors and publishers.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

The reading list of our "in-house" Book Club Critics is at their own discretion, but we've had several people suggest that we also accept published book submissions for review. So, in order to further serve the fiction community, Saranna and I are teaming up to do "tag-team" book reviews just like Ebert & Roeper do for movies:

Next Reviews: PUZZLE MAN by Christopher Allan Broadstone &

THE PLOT TO SAVE SOCRATES by Paul Levinson
