 | | Psycho by Robert Bloch: A Review | | by The Occulaire, Jul 16, 2008 | | This is by far one of my favorite horror novels in the world. The chilling reputation of this novel has been somewhat overshadowed by Alfred Hitchcock’s renowned film of the same name, but Psycho is worth reading for its relentless build up of psychological terror. | | Comments(0) Liked It: 2 |

 | | The Periodic Table by Primo Levi: A Review | | by The Occulaire, Jul 16, 2008 | | This masterpiece does not need to associate with a genre, or to classify itself as fact or fiction, or define itself as anecdotal or semiotic. The Periodic Table has and is all these things but they are not relevant to its being truly great. | | Comments(0) Liked It: 0 |

 | | Oryx and Crake by Margaret Atwood | | by Sheena McComiskey, Jul 16, 2008 | | Atwood's apocalyptic tale forces the reader to stop and think. It is almost disturbing how potentially accurate this novel is. Even more disturbing is the speed at which Atwood's apocalypse could be realized in our world. | | Comments(0) Liked It: 0 |
