[Review] - 'Star Trek: The Ashes of Eden' by William Shatner (with Judith & Garfield Reeves-Stevens)

In 1994, Star Trek: Generation left a sour taste in many Trekkie's mouths after they watched the unnecessary death of Captain James T. Kirk and the destruction of the USS Enterprise-D. That same year, William Shatner teamed up with authors Judith & Garfield Reeves-Stevens and Pocket Books to resurrect Kirk in what would later become The Odyssey trilogy. Shatner would collaborate with the Reeves-Stevenses on the outlines, and the Reeves-Stevenses would do the actual writing.

Sunday Post is a weekly meme hosted by Kimberly @ Caffeinated Book Reviewer!


Good Morning, Everyone! 






 

What Am I Reading? 


Since last week's post, I finished The Gray Man, Nightmare Fuel, and Star Wars: Padawan. I'm currently reading multiple books. After watching a few episodes of Star Trek: TOS, I read Star Trek: The Ashes of Eden by William Shatner (cowritten with Garfield and Judith Reeves-Stevens). I'm rereading Star Trek: Return, a book I first read in 1997. I lost the book somewhere but later found another copy at a thrift store. I'm on Chapter Sixteen (page 125).

[Review] - 'The Secret of Barnabas Collins' by Marilyn Ross

The cursed vampire Barnabas Collins finally makes his debut in the Dark Shadows lit-verse - that I couldn't read because it's not available on Kindle. All well! I had to skip over the self-titled sixth novel Barnabas Collins and jump right into The Secret of Barnabas Collins.

[Review] - 'Nightmare Fuel: The Science of Horror Films' by Nina Nesseth

[Review] - 'Nightmare Fuel: The Science of Horror Films' by Nina Nesseth

Were you ever labeled as different or weird because of your love for horror movies? I can't speak for anyone else, but my answer is yes. I was the loner kid reading used horror paperbacks during high school lunch. Instead of going to a football game on Friday nights, I was alone in my bedroom watching rented VHS horror flicks while eating cheesy pizza and rotting my teeth on soda. Not once did I wonder why I loved scary movies, though, at the time, my mother was worried I would become a serial killer like Michael Myers. It's twenty-five years later, and I can assure everyone that my fascination with all things horror didn't affect me — too much.
