When a friend's granddaughter goes missing, Henrie O. heads to San Antonio to find her. The plot was decent if slow, but the characters were hard to keep straight.

Tom Hunt’s debut was everything a thriller should be! Fast paced, life and death decisions, and complex, relatable characters make Killer Choice a book you can’t put down. This novel raises serious questions, moral dilemmas and has you asking just how far you’re willing to go for someone you love.

"Two films about the brutality of seeing (about cinema?), one directed by France’s answer to Fritz Lang, the other by the British Vincente Minnelli. And on the Franju DVD, there’s a precious extra: the 1949 short documentary Blood of the Beasts, a film that dares to look death in the eyes."

"If there’s life after death, let’s hope it looks like these 8 minutes of pure plastic effervescence & cosmic softness during which Belson takes us on a tour into the core of a far away galaxy, like a celestial voyage. Smoking a bit before is a plus for a total immersion."
