		<description><![CDATA[The Easter edition of Dappled Things (an online literary journal for young Catholics) features an essay written by yours truly. My piece is a reflection on the whole MySpace phenomenon from a Christian perspective.

		<description><![CDATA[by Neil Gaiman
Neverwhere is an entertaining dark fantasy from celebrated writer, Neil Gaiman. The wild and whirling world he creates from the material of urban London &#8212; where unsuspecting folks can fall &#8220;between the cracks&#8221; and end up in the surreal London Below &#8212; owes a debt to GK Chesterton&#8217;s delightful and outlandish The Man [...]]]></description>

reviewed by Tannia E. Ortiz-Lopes
Island Stories is a collection of three previously published fiction stories. Some of the author&#8217;s stories and themes repeat from other publications, but the drama and the outcomes take on a different flavour and an interesting end in this humorous collection.

		<description><![CDATA[by Anthony Hope
Anthony Hope’s Prisoner of Zenda is a classic swashbuckler in the fun-loving tradition of Rafael Sabatini (Captain Blood, Scaramouche). The book’s enduring success has led to several stage and screen adaptations, including a popular version from 1937 starring Ronald Colman.
It’s easy to see why Prisoner has captured so many imaginations. Hope, in highly [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[By Evelyn Waugh
The Satirical Rogue
Evelyn Waugh wrote Decline and Fall, his first book, at the age of twenty-five. Most young writers compare the giddy throes of that initial burst of creativity to a kind of drunkenness&#8212;young, brash, and brimming with authorial enthusiasm, they are intoxicated by the thrill of artistic discovery. &#160;&#160;
Well, Evelyn Waugh was [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[By David Lodge
reviewed by John Murphy
 
Home Truths is a bite-sized country manor comedy of manners adapted from the novelist’s stage play. Its theatrical origins are apparent in the three-act structure, the closed-in location (a country cottage), and the dialogue-heavy scenes. Considering how closely it resembles the script for a stage production, one wonders why [...]]]></description>

reviewed by John Murphy
The Colour of Blood is a tight, page-turning Catholic thriller in the Graham Greene tradition. The opening sequence hits the ground running: Cardinal Bem, head of the Church in an unnamed Soviet bloc country, is being chauffered back to his residence when

“He saw, peripherally, a black car racing very close [...]]]></description>
