God Save the Mark
Donald E. Westlakebookman.bsky.socialThe book reminds me, in a few ways, of Donald E. Westlake's mid-1960s comic crime novels, like God Save the Mark or The Fugitive Pigeon. It's got the same texture to it. @scalzi https://t.co/qWUcS6saR3

Devil House
John Darniellebookman.bsky.socialJohn Darnielle's Devil House, the story of a true-crime writer who buys the house that was the scene of a grisly double murder, is a wild ride. A book about the writing of a book. A horror story. A portrait of obsession. And more. @mountain_goats @fsgbooks https://t.co/zxpc4YuCsQ

An Extravagant Life: An Autobiography Incorporating Blue Water, Green Skipper
Stuart Woodsbookman.bsky.socialStuart Woods, author of the Stone Barrington novels (among other books), passed away earlier this month, shortly after the publication of his memoir An Extravagant Life. It's an interesting book, more a sailor's story than a novelist's, and if you're a fan I urge you to read it.
