This is the second novel I have read of Gifune's. And while I feel it wasn't as good as the other one I read, it still is good and has a lot of cyber-futuristic-paranoia philosophy that panders to his audience properly. It is deep and interesting, although the plot itself is a bit slow going. Otherwise, very creative and descriptive.
I'd like to take a moment to thank Shane for his quick responses to a couple of minor problems I had. I love shopping at the Horror Mall because when these little problems crop up (and I do sometimes seem to be a problem magnet) they're taken care of quickly and courteously.
Great Work Guys!

Larry and Shane are two of the tops in the horror publishing world. When they got together and opened the Horror Mall, it made the tops in the selling game as well. The Horror Mall runs as smooth as can be, orders ship on time and arrived in the best of condition. Larry is a saint when it comes to dealing with nut-job book collectors, (I am one of those nut-jobs), and does what ever he can to help out. Shane is great on the business end and always very helpful if there is a snag. I am glad there is a Horror Mall, book collecting would be much harder without it.

Author: Andy Simmons Miranda is one of the most moving pieces of fiction I have ever read. It is amazing, it will make you laugh, and cry, it will change the way you look at things. This is destined to be a true classic.
Author: g guthrie A man’s life story told in reverse. It starts at chapter 15 when the protagonist dies, or in this case is born. The protagonist happens to be living his life in reverse. Born on his death and will assumedly die upon his birth. In the story he finds Miranda the only other person who is also living in reverse. But she is more frustrated at this turn in events than he is and she screams for freedom of choice, which is hard to do when your life has already happened before you actually get there. Confusing? It is at first, but you'll fall in step and be able to follow the story along. This is a nice original novella, and was a breath of fresh air.
Author: William C. Rasmussen Boy, this was a difficult book to get through! John Little's Miranda, to my strictly linear way of thinking, was at times confusing and illogical, and tough to comprehend, but all the while it was a brilliant, magical read. This novella of a man who lives his life in reverse, meets a similarly-afflicted woman, Miranda, who is not content to have her life predetermined, is clever as all get-out. But..but, man, I found it tough to follow. Kept looking too deeply into the hard science, I guess, and felt it had some errors in continuity. But, I could be wrong! Nevertheless, it IS a wildly original read, complemented by superb production values from Bad Moon Books. I give it four stars, due to the book's beautiful appearance and its creative story, despite my misgivings about the backward progression of the tale. Highly recommended!
Author: Josef Hernandez There really aren't enough words to accurately describe this moving and emotional story. Little brings his distinct voice to this short novella about a man who comes to live his life in reverse. In its scant pages, the reader finds a tale of what it mean to be alive as well as an investigation into what free will really is. This is another in a long line of great books from Bad Moon Books and a major achievement for Little as a writer. Any one who reads this book will find a lot to love within its pages and will experience the story emotionally. Very highly recommended.
Author: Jassen Bailey This novella lived up to its expectations and then some! Unique, well-written, and thought provoking. The artwork and book production are fantastic as well.
