Bookworm: ‘The Helpers’ is worth pinching into Original
‘Razzmatazz’ is irreverent, wild, and profane Terri Schlichenmeyer Correspondent “The Helpers: Profiles from the Front Lines of the Pandemic” By Kathy Gilsinan c. 2022, W.W. Norton $24.95, 288 pages Just a little pinch. That’s what they tell you when you get a shot in the arm. Just a “pinch,” a half-second of pain and you can handle that, right? Still, nobody likes getting a shot. Nobody enjoys the sore arm afterward or anything else about it.

Review: Rollicking mystery maze through 1940s S.F. delivers and delights
To read local author Christopher Moore’s latest novel, “Razzmatazz,” is to give yourself up to the loony mayhem of a Chandler-esque escapade through 1940s San Francisco. And I would gladly give myself up to the mayhem again. The novel is well worth the read. But let’s stop the clock right there and take it back a few ticks.

Great Performances in Horror: Desiree Gould as Aunt Martha in Sleepaway Camp
“There are no small parts. Only small actors.” You might have heard this saying before. Usually, it comes right after you’ve been offered the role of Townsperson #9 in your high school production of The Music Man, but what it’s saying is true. It takes a great, inventive actor to make something out of very little stage or screen time and create something memorable. Case in point: Desiree Gould as Aunt Martha in Sleepaway Camp.
You Can Never Have Sex - Randy's Horror Movie Myth Might be Busted!
For lots of millennials, Scream was something of a cultural milestone. It introduced many of us to the horror genre and kicked off a few exciting years of post-modern, self-referential teenage bloodbaths that we begged our parents to sneak us into or let us rent for our next slumber party. It was a rite of passage. Upon re-watching it for a recent episode of Homos on Haunted Hill, I found myself riveted all over again.
The Great American Deception by Scott Stein is only $0.99 - BookBub

A damsel in distress. A dangerous dame. A metric-ton of coffee... Private Investigator Frank Harken’s worldwide fame has only made him more cynical.

Gut Feelings: Being Gay with Familial Adenomatous Polyposis
Love has never come easy to me. Living with chronic illness and the aftermath of three surgeries, I struggle to let people in – to be intimate during sex. It all started when I was 11. Sitting in a hard-backed, plastic chair, the doctor told me I had familial adenomatous polyposis (or FAP for short). They explained to me that tiny wart-like lumps called polyps (or adenomas) were growing inside my bowel and rectum and if untreated, they would turn cancerous.

BookMark: "Lamb" By Christopher Moore
In an irreverent, but sensitive way, Christopher Moore gives us his ideas about what occurred during the “lost” years of Christ's life in his novel “Lamb: The Gospel According to Biff, Christ's Childhood Pal.” As the title suggests, “Lamb” is told from the perspective of Jesus’ best friend, Biff, who had been brought back to life at the request of the Messiah some 2,000 years after his crucifixion.

“Hiya, Doc. How'd you end up here?” “Thanks for coming to see me, Roland. It's nice to see the face of a friend. I fear that despite my credentials, the psychiatric staff here aren't very tolerant when it comes to my rants.” “Rants? Why are you ranting?” “I guess I should start at the point where we first parted company. We left the University together. I was heading to the woods to hunt for clues, and you were going to explore the Black Cave.

Production of Romeo and Juliet works well - despite tendency to hurry
Grace Opie, 13, plays Juliet in Top Dog Theatre's 2020 open air summer Shakespeare production of Romeo and Juliet. Romeo and Juliet Top Dog Theatre The Mound Lawn – Mona Vale Gardens, until February 22 REVIEW: Romeo and Juliet is not really the tale of heady romance and star-crossed lovers the world imagines it to be. It's really about pubescent infatuations fuelled by surging levels of teenage testosterone and self-absorption.

Tiny Fatato Island on the southeast rim of Funafuti Atoll in Tuvalu. REVIEW: Tavita Nielsen-Mamea's Au Ko Tuvalu, currently playing at The Forge at The Court, is a small gem of a play.
