Noah Hawley’s suspenseful mystery is being released in paperback- which is even better because it makes for easier transport to the beach/pool/porch/hammock/wherever you get to hang out and read in the summer.           True horror, you see, comes not from the savagery of the unexpected, […]

Librarian? In. Unemployed? In. Book store? All […]
