TV Tie-Ins 
Supernatural Carved in Flesh or The Winchesters Meet Frankenstein [Book Review](0)
Supernatural tie-in writers have it tough. First, they have to craft well-plotted and sub-plotted stories that sound like they could be a episode of the series. Second, they have to write Sam and Dean in a way that completely matches their characters on the show which includes being careful not to mention anything that goes ...
Age Of TV Heroes: The Live-Action Adventures Of Your Favorite Comic Book Characters [Book Review]
If you’re a baby boomer, you grew up watching superheroes on television. The generation before us had Superman and western heroes like The Lone Ranger and Zorro but we had Batman, Wonder Woman, The Incredible Hulk and so many more. The late sixties through the seventies truly was the golden Age of TV Heroes. Flipping ...
Supernatural Fresh Meat [Book Revew]
I’ve always wanted to see an episode of Supernatural where Sam and Dean had to deal with a “non” supernatural but dangerous force like a natural disaster. It stems from my belief that the boys are better people than they think they are — Dean in particular. They never give themselves enough credit for the ...
Supernatural: The Official Companion Season 7 [Book Review]
Season 7 of Supernatural introduced us to the smarmy and dangerous Dick Roman, the delightfully geeky Charlie and we got to hunt bad guys with Eliot Ness. This was also the season of killer clowns, rampaging lookalikes and a mini-Buffy cast reunion between James Marsters and Charisma Carpenter. Season 7 had laughs (“Party On, Garth”), ...

Joss Whedon: The Complete Companion [Book Review]
Fade in on Sunnydale High School. It’s nighttime, so all good students should be home studying. Nevertheless, we see a pair of teens break into the building. He’s got amorous intentions and she’s nervous. What if they get caught? Or worse, what if he’s some kind of monster — as in, the teen-boy-gone-wild, human kind? ...
Sherlock Holmes On Screen [Book Review]
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle introduced Sherlock Holmes to the world in 1887 and the iconic, deductive detective hasn’t been out of the spotlight since. He was the leading character in hundreds of movies and TV shows and he made guest appearances in hundreds more. If you add in the times the character was parodied and ...

Did you know that Jensen Ackles’ dad provided the newscaster voice in the first episode Jensen directed, “Weekend at Bobby’s?” Did you know that the purgatory manual in “Like a Virgin” was made out of real skin – pig, not human. Did you know that Supernatural: The Official Companion for Season 6 is loaded with ...
Supernatural: Night Terror [Book Review]
A giant, man-eating spider? A tree that runs from the scene of the crime? How about a haunted Dodge Charger that’s out for blood? Any one of these monsters could end up on an episode of Supernatural, but for author John Passarella, one wasn’t enough. He put all of these villains into one book along ...
