Booked. teams up with the Sean P Ferguson to review Craig Wallwork’s new book The Sound of Loneliness! We’ve had this one on the books forever, so we’re glad not only to be reviewing it, but just to have a full length Craig Wallwork novel is a real treat. And to have Sean on to share the experience really makes it that much more special.
Beyond Wallwork, we do a little Booked. News-ing, share some more names for the anthology, share the name OF the anthology, and invent the best reason to start a Kickstarter project that I could ever imagine.

Here’s the next group of names we’re adding to the Anthology:
Next week, Booked. sneak reviews Michael Estrin’s book Murder and Other Distractions. Why is it a sneak review? Because after telling Michael that we’d consider reviewing his book, we never got back to him to let him know we’d decided to. So it’s going to be a hell of a surprise when he sees us post the episode on Facebook. Make sure to come back for that. AND! We may just reveal the rest of our anthology authors!

I think you have to go with The Booked. Anthology Too Soon title for the next one.
any time sean is on i drip tears while honk-laughing. livius wins this one for the “maybe he’s a night owl” comment, i never fully recovered my composure after that. love the book and love this episode <3
stagger lee!! sold.
To me the ghost floating behind this story is the character who had the most to do with shaping this confused would-be writer–Daniel’s father.
Oh, I did mention Holden Caulfield in my review of this book. So, I agree with what Robb said in his comparison.
credit where it’s due, Liv introduced the comparison, I just backed him up. Also, I knew the character’s name.
sorry about that… I knew it was Livius… asleep at the wheel in my old age.
Was that a prejudgement on the quality of the first anthology, Mr. Harlan?
No, I just think it’s clever, and you said it anyway. Release the sequel 3 months after the first and have it be shorter. Ride the hype all the way to the top of the Skip Papersly report.
I was just fucking with you.
It’s cool, I never take you seriously anyway.
Good choice. Though, I will be writing serious articles for Out of Your Element Magazine.
It’s so cute how you lot try to pronounce Wallwork’s first name all the time.
