Book Review: Tribal Scarring by Gary Taaffe

April 19, 2012 By Jessica Filed Under: Book Review 2 Comments

Tribal Scarring is the second short story in the Urban Hunters series and it was a little more serious than the first book, Four Small Stones. I missed the light-hearted humor of the first one.

Lewis talks about how people misread narrative poetry (like Paradise Lost) all the time because used ... Read More »
