Few books have impacted me, personally, as PRIME MERIDIAN by Silvia Moreno-Garcia. This one blindsided me by the relatively unassuming(but beautiful) cover. I really couldn't be more happy with this literary, sci-fi novella. Amelia is in a hard place. She finds herself trying to shoestring her budget as she lives with her sister in near-future … Continue reading Review: Prime Meridian

Review: To Be Devoured
It normally takes a lot of me to be disgusted, but Sara Tantlinger's TO BE DEVOURED may be the grossest book I have read all year, yet she makes it beautiful. After being familiar with her poetry for several years, and fresh off her Stoker award winning poetry collection, THE DEVIL'S DREAMLAND, Tantlinger's first novella … Continue reading Review: To Be Devoured
Review: Summoned
I've been wanting to dig into Mckayla Eaton's writing for a while, so I jumped on the chance to receive an e-ARC of her debut novel, SUMMONED. What I discovered was a fun fantasy, though subtly-layered in the tradition of YA. Set up as the first of THE DEMON SUMMONER trilogy, Eaton has made an … Continue reading Review: Summoned
Review: The Withered King
It's been a long time since I have read anything that splices so many genres together and Ricardo Victoria really takes the blender to science fiction and fantasy in his debut novel. Small disclosure: He sent me an e-ARC of his book that released on August 20th from Shadow Dragon Press in exchange for a … Continue reading Review: The Withered King
Review: Embers of War
Gareth L. Powell has managed to create a modern piece of space opera without the typical glitz and glam and is better for it. Instead, EMBERS OF WAR engages the affects of violence and the impossibility of ignoring the aftermath of such violence. This has to be one of my most enjoyable reads of this … Continue reading Review: Embers of War
Book Release: Monsters
And here is another Black Hare press anthology, you all should know the drill by now! I have five micro fiction stories in this one and a few I'm honestly pretty proud of. I'll have the list below like always. As with the other anthologies, I'm alongside 100+ other authors and their terrifying little yarns. … Continue reading Book Release: Monsters
Review: The Fearing Pt. 2 – Water & Wind
And we are back with Part two of John F. D. Taff's THE FEARING: WATER & WIND! The next installment releases from Grey Matter Press on August 20th, so be sure to pick up your copy asap! The first part landed with somewhat mixed results for me, even though I still enjoyed it, but with … Continue reading Review: The Fearing Pt. 2 – Water & Wind
Review: The Fisherman
Few books really nail the mythic scope of Lovecraft, but John Langan's THE FISHERMAN, goes far deeper, while the tentacles of cosmic horror writhes around it. Oh and it should be noted it won the 2016 Bram Stoker for best novel! Following Abe and Dan, two widowers, who have found one another's love for fishing … Continue reading Review: The Fisherman
Review: Ballad of the Whisky Robber
Ballad of the Whiskey Robber: A True Story of Bank Heists, Ice Hockey, Transylvanian Pelt Smuggling, Moonlighting Detectives and Broken Hearts, is maybe the longest title ever, but Julian Rubinstein writes a hell of a story, yet it's all true. This was our nonfiction read for this month in my local book club and while it didn't … Continue reading Review: Ballad of the Whisky Robber
Review: The Renegade God
Matt Spencer I think, gets a sense when it's been too long since I reviewed one his books and he just sends me one to review. I mean, maybe he actually didn't do that, but he did send this to me out of the blue, which was a great surprise and pleasure. Back ito his … Continue reading Review: The Renegade God
