D. E. McCluskey, Z: A Love Story. Book Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 8.5/10

Every generation has its way of dealing with the undead. Whether it comes in the form of political observation transformed into pop culture critique, or the fierce biting satire of purposeful declaration of war against a population willing to look the other way until the effect of wrong is found scratching at the door and the sound of rabid death is proclaimed up on what they see is their acre of space in the universe; each generation deals with the fall out of the horror that awaits in their own way.

D. E. McCluskey, Time Ripper. Book Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 9/10

There will be those that look upon the events in Whitechapel during the summer and autumn of 1888 as the gift that keeps giving. A morally objectionable standpoint in which to view the murder of five or more women during the reign of fear imposed by one or more individuals as a sideshow, a ghoulish fairground in which many take delight in the detail without ever seeing the truth of the women at the time who were slayed, and the plight of the working class in a city that was at the heart of Empire.

D. E. McCluskey, Crack. Book Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 8.5/10

We are quick to condemn the guilty for the crimes they have committed, the awful acts of ruin and despair they have brought to people’s lives, we seek to justify calling them evil, even when it is clear that their actions originate in the complex and dark recesses of the mind, a trauma, the after effects of PTSD; it is just easier to label all who cross a line of civility and humanity as evil.
