John Connolly’s Dark Hollow Connolly should be ranked at the top of his field. His work with his American crime-fiction franchise and his iconic anti-hero at the center is even more impressive due to the fact that Connolly himself, is an Irishman.

The Stand Vol. 4 I flip-flopped back and forth between what to rate this but ultimately decided on a 4. In fact, I think 2012 has been the year that I’ve awarded the most 4 star reviews. I guess that’s what happens when you stay within the lines of what you’re primarily expected to enjoy.Finally,…
