So, I realize I've been silent for quite a while. Well, I mean not really if you check out my Twitter. I haven't posted any book reviews since February and not even a single writing/reading update since then either. I wanna talk about that and what I hope to do for the future of my … Continue reading Update: 2020 – Relaunch?

Review: Capitalist Realism
It is easier to imagine an end to the world than an end to capitalism. I couldn't stay away from a book titled, CAPITALIST REALMISM: IS THERE NO ALTERNATIVE? Give whoever came up with that title a medal, maybe that was even Fisher himself. Regardless, this is a brief, but piercing examination of post-modern thinking surrounding our economic and cross cultural … Continue reading Review: Capitalist Realism
Review: Darkweird
DARKWEIRD by Matthew Davis, does everything a second book should do: heartbreak, raises the stakes to ridiculous degrees, and more inter-dimensional hi-jinks. Davis manages to do that and so much more in his second installment of the GREY DAYS series. A few months have passed since the last almost world ending event and now...it's about … Continue reading Review: Darkweird
Review: The Sun Temple
A new first for my blog...B.F. Späth reached out to me and sent me his book, THE SUN TEMPLE, and asked for me to review it. This is the result of that agreement and my review of Späth's trippy, dreamscape of a narrative follows. THE SUN TEMPLE follows a narrator who navigates the streets of … Continue reading Review: The Sun Temple
Review: How Not to Get Shot: And Other Advice From White People
What a bittersweet read. Hughley holds nothing back in this witty, clear-cut take on the USA and our culture of racism. This book made me both chuckle and cringe as he unpacks numerous injustices and incidents that have taken place over most recent years, along with his own personal stories. This isn't a book for … Continue reading Review: How Not to Get Shot: And Other Advice From White People
Review: Children of Time
What if the planet you are attempting to colonize is already occupied? This is the question that Adrian Tchaikovsky’s CHILDREN OF TIME attempts to answer, but while doing so, asks so many more questions along the way. When an ark ship, holding what remains of humanity, comes upon a long-forgotten project of Old Earth, a … Continue reading Review: Children of Time
Review: Borne
What a strange and wild ride. This was a really great read and anyone looking for a more "biotech" sort of dystopia, this has to be your first pick. Anyone willing to tolerate a bit of weird in the mix of their fiction, then you will be in good hands here, then again has Vandermeer … Continue reading Review: Borne
Review: The Wanderers
I really wanted to like The Wanderers by Meg Howrey, especially with how it was initially sold to me via the blurb: "Howery's exquisite novel demonstrates that the final frontier may not be space after all."(J. Ryan Stradal). At the end of the day I could only really give it two stars and wondered why … Continue reading Review: The Wanderers
