By Wayne C. Rogers Doubleday, Trade Paperback, 2015, 304pp The Devil’s Detective by Simon Kurt Unsworth is the author’s first novel, and it’s certainly an impressive one to say the least.

Monster Hunters: On the Trail with Ghost Hunters, Bigfooters, Ufologists, and Other Paranormal Investigators by Tea Krulos – BOOK REVIEW
By Geno McGahee I’m a big fan of the paranormal stuff, mostly. The ghost hunters have been overdone on TV, but I find their work rather compelling. The same goes for the Bigfoot seekers. Every time there is a new blurry video of the hairy man-ape walking slowly through the […]
