Review: Snow Over Utopia

December 18, 2019December 17, 2019 / Alexander Pyles / 2 Comments

I read a lot of books throughout the year, but there are only a handful that make me take a step back and say "What the F." SNOW OVER UTOPIA by Rudolfo A. Serna was one of those books. Loaded to the very brim with genre-melded, blended goodness, and richly poetic prose, Serna challenges the … Continue reading Review: Snow Over Utopia

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: Pimp My Airship

May 25, 2019May 22, 2019 / Alexander Pyles / 1 Comment

Aside from a stellar title, where can one start with Maurice Broaddus' PIMP MY AIRSHIP? Well, let's start with a synopsis: Enter Sleepy, who wants nothing more than to remain in his (relatively) comfy apartment, keep a low profile, smoke chiba, and spit fast rhymes at the local club. Yet, when the rascal, protester Knowledge … Continue reading Review: Pimp My Airship
