Book Release: Unravel

October 22, 2019October 21, 2019 / Alexander Pyles / Leave a comment

Another Black Hare Press anthology drops today! This one is filled with people on the wrong side of the law, bad cops, and crime. Crime and noir fiction aren't natural genres for me, but I still contributed five micro fictions, which were all accepted! I'm proud of these, since they have a range of tones … Continue reading Book Release: Unravel

Review: Coil

July 9, 2019July 8, 2019 / Alexander Pyles / Leave a comment

Apex sent me this book in return for a review, and I was incredibly excited. Cyberpunk noir? Hell yes! And what Ren Warom gives us in Coil, is not only these but sci fi crime-noir at its best. Without even going farther into the book right now, if you like any of those genres I just … Continue reading Review: Coil

Review: Broadswords & Blasters #6

May 23, 2019May 24, 2019 / Alexander Pyles / Leave a comment

It has been too long since I read another Broadswords & Blasters issue, so here is #6! There's something for everyone, from cowboys on mechanical horses to kaiju to experimental noir. Really have to hand it to editors Matthew & Cameron, they do a fantastic job! Enjoy! The Orge's Secret by Robert Walton Bogerd and his … Continue reading Review: Broadswords & Blasters #6

Review: Switchblade Magazine #9

May 2, 2019May 1, 2019 / Alexander Pyles / 1 Comment

Switchblade is a relatively new magazine (to me), but one that I've been itching to read. Low and behold when they dropped their first color issue with #9, I had to pick it up via my e-reader. Not for the faint of heart or the soft in temperament, these stories encompass, vengeance, revenge, injustice, and … Continue reading Review: Switchblade Magazine #9

Review: NEON&CONCRETE Stories – Part 1

March 26, 2019March 28, 2019 / Alexander Pyles / Leave a comment

So, I've been following this series for awhile and since stumbling on it and falling in love with it's theme and mission, I became friends with the author behind it all, Richard Galbraith. He's a pretty cool guy, who has a lot of creative projections going on across several different social media platforms & sites. … Continue reading Review: NEON&CONCRETE Stories – Part 1

Review: You Were Never Really Here

February 1, 2018January 31, 2018 / Alexander Pyles / Leave a comment

What. A. Wild. Ride. I found out about this book via the movie of the same name, which I'm sure is driving a lot of new readers here. If this movie is anything like the book(which I'm sure it will be based on the trailers), I know I'm going to love it as much as … Continue reading Review: You Were Never Really Here
