A Gratefully Dead Issue.
March 27, 2017Review of STANLEY MCCLOUD MUST DIE! by Adrian Baldwin
by Lynne Hinkey
Fans of Monty Python-esque humor will enjoy the off-kilter characters, ever-stranger “Maggy Specials,” and hidden threads that tie Baldwin’s second story with his previous in the planned trilogy, “Let’s All Laugh at Death.” Although Stanley McCloud Must Die lacks some of the deeper character development and the strong emotional wringer of Barnacle Brat, the humor isn’t quite as bleak and so will appeal to a wider audience.
Review of THE DEAD HAVE SECRETS by Owen Parr
by Anita Lock
This updated edition to the John Powers series is nothing less than an edgy read. Replete with unexpected twists and turns and a hint of romance, The Dead Have Secrets provides audiences with a top-notch political thriller—one that has definite Silver Screen potential.

How can they stay afloat when they’re fighting a free market?
