The main page of this section is dedicated to my reviews of books, short stories, and films. If you are interested in seeing what I have coming up for a review, you will find a list of those following the review contents. The menu to the left contains links to the "Reading Responses" portion of my website (where you will find rambling ruminations on The Last Unicorn by Peter S. Beagle and Hero, the film directed by Yimou Zhang among others) and to the "Analyses" portion of my website (which only contains my begun-yet-now-sleeping analysis of Buffy the Vampire Slayer).
REVIEWS
Most of my reviews are published elsewhere on the 'net, either at Green Man Review or the SF Bookswap (with reprints at Fantasy Magazine possible). Ocassionally, however, there are exclusive reviews published only on my website or accompanying livejournal. The original publication information will be given along with each review printed here and those exclusive to this website are clearly marked.
