a review by Elizabeth White “Lil, you got some dark thoughts runnin’ through your head. I understand why they’re there, but you got to push them away when they start crowdin’ in on you.

A review by Erin Mitchell Much of the attention around George Pelecanos’ new book, WHAT IT WAS, has focused on the quite brilliant way that the good folks at Mulholland Books are publishing and marketing it. In case you haven’t read about it, instead of the standard e-book and hardcover release followed months later [...]

Way back in 2008 when I was at Bleak House Books and the economy was making like Evel Knievel over the cliff, I decided to give away books for the holidays. We tried the same thing last year with Tyrus and it was a wonderful experience. Because we’re running the same program this year, I’m [...]

If you’re reading this, you probably already know that Tyrus Books is one of the good guys. Ben’s dedication to rooting out fantastic stories and connecting them with readers is admirable. He understands that reading is neither a race nor a competition, but rather a journey that we’ll never, thankfully, complete. And me? I’m a [...]

I’d like to thank Tyrus books for inviting me to their Guest House today. I’m not here to talk about myself, but for courtesy’s sake, a little about me.

David Montgomery reviews Ken Bruen’s “Headstone”

bleroy — Mon, 17 Oct 2011 15:34:40 +0000

By David Montgomery- I once called Ken Bruen “the dark poet of contemporary noir” (yes, I’m quoting myself — sue me) and his latest novel, Headstone, confirms that his status is unchallenged. This is a fascinating, powerful and, yes, dark crime novel that only enhances Bruen’s already amazing reputation. Irish private eye Jack Taylor is [...]

First, congratulations to Tyrus Books on their new website! And thank you to Ben LeRoy for welcoming me to be part of it. What Ben probably doesn’t know is that I’ve been a fan of Tyrus Books for a while – even entered a contest once and won a book (Stein, Stoned by Hal Ackerman…loved [...]
