Seems to me I read "Kill Riff" long ago and wasn't a big fan of it.<br /><br />I don't think there was any "weird" angle to the book - most likely why I didn't dig it - and the whole thing kind of smacked of "thriller" rather than straight out horrorThe Idler After Darkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13349725567379546628noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-825351661748594023.post-89394466497648679382011-03-27T06:47:34.237-07:002011-03-27T06:47:34.237-07:00Thanks, Aaron, I agree.

I know his second novel, <i>The Shaft</i>, was turned down by his US publisher in '91 or so, and never pub'd here at all. I will be rereading <i>Kill Riff</i> at some point for review here.Will Erricksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16285306262078600804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-825351661748594023.post-59666530268183303022011-03-27T06:22:10.760-07:002011-03-27T06:22:10.760-07:00Schow never really got the credit he deserved for ...Schow never really got the credit he deserved for some of the cool stuff he contributed to the horror/splatter punk era. He was/is a great writer and some of his ideas were really killer.<br /><br />I used to really dig his articles in Fangoria (I think now I'm dated as well).
