Remedial Lit

Steampunk and superheroes take the stage as we examine George Mann's Ghosts of Manhattan. Doing our best to put the pieces together, Ghost does his best during this murder mystery to take the bad guys apart in gruesome detail. A tale of power plants, exploding flechettes and over complicated automobiles, this one reinforces that maybe Marvel isn't the most convoluted comic universe.

We increase the diversity of our collection with a novel that isn't about fungus or time dilation. With her friend framed for the theft of a valuable treasure, Simi must join forces with a thief to discover the real culprit and steal the necklace back. Ripping off an amazing genre of film, this novel dives into the classic character tropes of the heist. You know, the same way a guy can dive head first into a swimming pool....at the shallow end.

A screenwriter's daring attempt at a novel, Cold Storage reminds us why we do what we do here at Remedial Lit. Set almost entirely in a storage facility, our colorful and quirky cast quickly discover a dark secret buried deep by the government. Only with their ingenuity, quick thinking and systemic alcohol dependency can help them now as they must battle a relic long thought to be lost.

We're joined by a guest as we cover the YA supernatural thriller, City of Bones. It's a tale as old as time. Girl likes boy, boy likes girl, they get attcked by the most non-threatening demons of all time. Boy turns into a rat? It makes more sense in context. Starting off the new year strong with this one.

We explore a post civil war America in a series that absolutely is not about abortion. Delving deep into the story of Unwind, we visit a not-so-distant future where children are magically sawed to pieces for body parts and one tough teen strikes out for his survival. This book asks hard hitting questions like when does life truly start and what does it mean to have a soul. Fortunately for us, there's enoughcomedy material in this thing we just glossed over all that boring stuff.

We tackle a legend among horror with our rendition of Dracula. Starting with some toilet humor, we eventually devolve into wild west action with a couple crackers thrown in. Following a story you probably know very well, we take the time to highlight some details you may have missed when reading the definitive vampire fiction.

We return to a short Joe Ledger review while we finish up our Halloween surprise. Fresh off the death of his love and off screen revenge, Joe returns to the mayhem he knows best. Now investigating a series of online trolls, Joe battles another global cabal while continually reminding us why psyche examinations exist for military service. Stick around to the end for all of the special guest stars this book includes

Our final journey into the Pendergast series. Returning to New York we are introduced to a crime of the century, just not this century. Journey with us to the forgotten time of 2001 and we'll do our best to survive while a billionaire albino tries to crack this case.

We delve into the mysteries of the American Southwest with another "Agent Penderghast" novel. This time a young woman searches for her long lost father who who disappeared looking for a lost city of treasure. Despite our efforts we couldn't keep it lost so now you're all stuck listening to them discuss archeology while monsters run around

After taking some time to record some episodes, Connor continues our favorite lizard themed series. Continuing one FBI agent's hunt for the truth, our trusty albino billionaire may have more trouble than he's bargained for. We learn lots about logistics as well as botany in this sequel that shows just how far a talented pair of authors can really stretch an idea.
