Revenge of the Vinyl Café is the latest instalment in the series of books by Stuart McLean that chronicles the life of Dave and Morley and their family.
However, Revenge of the Vinyl Café is exactly that, this book contains the stories where nothing seems to go right. There are monsters in sewers, a trip to the hospital gone awry and an incident with a bear while fishing.
Stuart McLean, both on his radio show (The Vinyl Café on CBC Radio 1, Sundays at noon) and in his books has a true gift for story telling. His stories of Dave and Morley and their neighbours are timeless...I think my favourite was the one where Dave cooked the Turkey...
Anyway I digress. Revenge chronicles the tales in which nothing seems to go right. These tales are magically written and I would recommend that everyone read them and, if you get CBC radio 1 or have iTunes I would look into listening to the Vinyl Café, it's available as a podcast on iTunes.
Well, that's my review for now, I know it's short but I can't review every story in the book or I'd be here all night. Until next time keep reading, and writing and as always, I'm open to suggestions over Twitter, or in the comments.
