Catskinner's Book (The Book Of Lost Doors Vol 1)
By Misha Burnett

Genre: Science Fiction
Publication Date: July 17, 2012

Available Here:


Blurb:

Catskinner's Book is a science fiction/urban fantasy novel set in a surreal world unlike any that you have seen before.

James Ozryck has a monster in his head.

All of his life the entity that he calls Catskinner has made him a fugitive, afraid to get too close to anyone, afraid to stay in one place for too long. Catskinner kills, without compassion and without warning, and is very good at it.

Now James has learned that Catskinner is not the only monster in the world, a world that has suddenly become a far stranger and more dangerous place than he imagined. In order to survive he will have to become something more than a monster, he will have to learn what it means to be human.

This is definitely one of the stranger books I’ve read. It’s gripping from the first page.
You first meet James who seems to be your everyday nut-job with an alter ego named Catskinner that loves nothing more than the thrill of the kill.
He works in a faux electronic store for a man named Vincent who for whatever the case may be, Vincent lives like a snowman in perpetual cold climates.
This book is VERY descriptive. You get lost easily within the spine of this wonderful story and quickly lose track of not only time but the fact that you yourself are not a part of the story.
I swear my husband tried to talk to me and I he was just muffled voice in the distance I was that lost!
Since my copy is print I don’t get to read it much. I’d let the husband read it before me and asked him all kinds of questions (trying to know what happens before I read that far) but he refused the spill the beans.
I was quite intrigued during the mass amount of time James/Catskinner stood staring at the wall.
This book is full of action and quirky quotes. It will definitely keep you wanting more.
Catskinner’s book is a genre of its own fitting into neither of the genres it’s tagged for.
If you like amazingly detailed fight scenes and the strange and unusual, this book is for you.
Cannibal Hearts (The Book of Lost Doors Vol 2)
By Misha Burnett

Genre: Science Fiction
Publication Date: August 23, 2013

Available Here:

Blurb:
Cannibal Hearts is the sequel to Misha Burnett's first novel, Catskinner's Book.

A year ago James Ozryck was a loner, forced to keep the world at bay by the alien entity he calls Catskinner who shares his body. Now he has found a community of others whose lives have been changed by the Outsiders.

Along with Godiva, his half-human lover, James runs a property management company that serves as a front company for Outsider activities.

When the pair's mysterious boss, Agony Delapour suddenly shows up in town with a new project, however, things gets dangerous fast as events unfold that threaten the life that they have made.
Misha Burnett has little formal education, but has been writing poetry and fiction for around forty years. During this time he has supported himself and his family with a variety of jobs, including locksmith, cab driver, and building maintenance.

Catskinner's Book is his first novel. The basic idea came from a desire to create a new mythos, to set a novel in an entirely new Urban Fantasy world, without vampires, werewolves, zombies, fairies, or any of the standard fantasy tropes.
Major influences include Tim Powers, Samuel Delany, William Burroughs, and Phillip K. Dick.

  1. The X-Files is my favorite Sci-fi series because it dealt with the UNKNOWN--from aliens, to creatures, to ghosts, to legends, to whatever went bump in the night! I could not wait each week to see what they were going to look for next and what would happen to them in the process!

  5. What kind of series? For books, I like The Hitchhikers' Guide to the Galaxy because it's hilarious. For TV, I like The Twilight Zone for its varied, excellent writing.
