I ...Congrats on being included in this compendium. I eagerly await your next "Tome of Bill" book. Your magic fingers must somehow be mercilessly tormented by the countless cortical synapses concurrently firing and forming such a titillating, snarky, brilliant buffet of horror, dark humor, urban...rural...paranormal fantasy(ok, brain candy)!<br /><br />Having enjoyed many years as an RN, then a legal nurse consultant most of my reading and writing was non-fiction "continuing education. My 2 sons are both happily married IT Engineers. I am an empty nester. I had forgotten how to re-recreate now waiting on my kids, my ex-husband. <br /><br />Alas, my eldest gave me a Kindle Fire HD for Christmas awhile back. I hope all young-at-heart (yes,I've met many a former "70's Dark Shadows"fans & rabid paperback series) Readers that crave sophisticated,sardonic/sarcastic humor. The Horror and temptation, the seething sexual tension between the protagonists cleverly woven into tight and flowing dialog! The fear of what will ???? Come to be.<br /><br />Then came RICK GUALTIERI and this 50+ chose to read "The TOME OF BILL" Book# in an ever growing saga and I felt like a teenager again. Quirky? Yes. All the forbidden words the late,George Carlin stated 40 years ago? Hell, yeah, it makes some of these brilliant, geeky characters who they are! (25 years ago no sedatives were given as they are today and having held ALOT different patients hands through the pain, their comments were in context.) Hysterically funny, yep. Horrific & heart stretching...YOU BETCHA.<br /><br />So, thank you, Mr. Gualtieri,for taking the "sparks" of thoughts you compile into a delightful break from reality. After twilight and some of the other unschmaltzy adolescent fodder that's appeared over the last 7 years or so, your prose are like a brain massage, ahhh vs. the glittery ECT therapy that defines our minds, their are so many mind molesters amongst us but your one of Magical Mages with magical fingers connected to some extraordinary grey matter!
