Swamp Thing, Vol. 1: Saga of the Swamp Thing by Alan Moore

4.0

Alan Moore transformed a bad comic into poetry. Outstanding piece of comic art.

V for Vendetta by Alan Moore

5.0

If Miracleman was the road to Order, this was Moore's highway to anarchy. Fabulous!

Pattern Recognition by William Gibson

4.0

Gibson knows how to show how weird is the world today, and masterfully points how difficult is to think futures today.

Neuromancer by William Gibson

5.0

A masterpiece in its own right, that opened new vistas that we are living today. Gibson still is a visionary.

Vampiro: La Mascarada by Mark Rein-Hagen, Graeme Davis, Lisa Stevens, Tom Dowd, Stewart Wieck

4.0

The expanded classic RPG, includes enough material to play endless hours. However, it lacks a bit of the mysticims of earlier versions.

Werewolf: The Apocalypse by Mark Rein-Hagen

5.0

The best oWoD setting. Mystical, violent, spiritual, complex yet simple in mechanics, dramatic... It has it all.

The Fear Index by Robert Harris

2.0

Although it has very interesting premises (hedge funds, science genius meets high finance and greed, mistery), it fails to deliver character depth and more coherency to the plot. Nonetheless is a fun read.

Flowers in the Attic by V.C. Andrews

5.0

A powerful tale about losing innocence, it has the power of drawing tears without falling in senseless dread. It has the power of a dark faery tale gone terribly wrong, yet the realism of its descriptions can pin you into the reality of greed. Awesome read.

Midnight Blue: Sonja Blue Collection by Nancy A. Collins

3.0

Funny vampire tale in a world of shadows very much like the World of Darkness. It is not much different from others of its genre, but is very entertaining.

Calimport: Advanced Dungeons & Dragons by Steven Schend

3.0

One of the most important cities in Faerun, described to its most painful detail (but not like Waterdeep, though). However, it delivers little interesting locales and NPC's.
