By way of introduction…
This is Vinny Reads, my newsletter about books I’m reading, some essays and thoughts on literature, and some of my original fiction.
My tastes tend toward “literary” fiction, westerns, noir, classics (meaning both literary classics and classic texts), as well as a hodgepodge of genre fiction (horror, sci-fi, fantasy, etc.).
What to expect
Book reviews and recommendations.
Including Substack Summer which you can learn about here.
A Weekly Digest that includes updates on what I’m reading, writing, and working on, as well as some short form reviews and recommendations.
Original fiction pieces as I try to build my “writer muscles.”
Including Tallboys which you can read here.
You can opt in and out of these topics via Manage Subscription.
Review Requests
Please visit the Review Requests page if you’d like to request a review of your work. I can’t promise I’ll get to it soon (or at all!) but I do try to read as much and as often as I can.
About Me
Vinny lives in Vermont with his wife (Mrs. Reads), son (Kiddo), two dogs, a cat, too many books, and a fridge stocked with Heady Topper.
If you would like to the books/beer fund, you can do so through Ko-Fi without a subscription.
Why subscribe?
I’m planning to keep this free and open. You can subscribe as a way of tipping, if that strikes your fancy, you benevolent little altruist. You can also use the affiliate links on the posts to give me little kickbacks if you purchase something I write about.
Subscribe to get full access to the newsletter and publication archives.
