Gailey finishes her duology with a splash! Taste of Marrow raises the stakes and moves away from a revenge story, to a tale of rescuing loved ones. Characters like, Archie, Hero, and Houndstooth are more fleshed out and they clearly have a past that has left them scared and broken. They all wear a version of themselves … Continue reading Review: Taste of Marrow

Review: Iron Gold
What a great start to another trilogy! I've been a huge fan of Red Rising since I read the first book back in 2014 and after Morning Star I did not think Peirce Brown could top himself, but I think he might with this newest set of books. While it may just be a continuation of the … Continue reading Review: Iron Gold
Hugo Finalists 2018: Best Novelette
I managed to chew through the Novelette finalists over the past two weeks and this category was much harder to pick from. There are some great pieces and I believe I liked these better than the short fiction entries, so far, but overall great pieces of writing and it's so awesome to get a feel … Continue reading Hugo Finalists 2018: Best Novelette
Review: Annihilation
I realize I'm late to the bandwagon with this book, but I began Annihilation by Jeff Vandermeer back in Febuary and read roughly 40 pages and didn't come back to it until this past month. I picked it up again and I could not put it down! There is something so subversive beneath the surface and Vandermeer's … Continue reading Review: Annihilation

So, coming into this new year I have several goals and in order to reach these goals, I need to set aside time. Nothing special right? Well, for the writer **time** is a huge factor and one that some may not appreciate depending on your situation. Okay so let me set up what the usual … Continue reading Writing Life: Time Management
Review: The Spectacle of the Void
I reviewed this book recently over at Goodreads, but I wanted to share it here. This work by David Peak, is part of my ongoing research of the horror genre and cosmic horror at large. Enjoy! Peak's book is an excellent overview of various themes of the "new horror" that has arisen in recent years … Continue reading Review: The Spectacle of the Void
Review: Home (Binti, #2)
Okay, so I know I don't have a review posted for Nnedi Okorafor's, Binti, but I just have to gush about the sequel, Home for a second. And I really wanted this to be my last review of the year. First off. Wow. The Binti series is the first in a new wave of Afro-futurism that I've only recently … Continue reading Review: Home (Binti, #2)
Review: Rime
Rime, by Tim Lebbon, was my first Kindle Single that I got my hands on and I will say that I was not disappointed, in fact, far from it. The title is an homage to Rime of the Ancient Mariner, and the story itself is a sci-fi repackaging of Coleridge's poem. For contemporary readers, who have read the original, this … Continue reading Review: Rime
Review: Between The World And Me
Ta-Nehisi has crafted a blunt, honest letter to his son, and in turn all of us. He does not sugar coat his experience, and unlike others that I have read of the black experience in America he does not try and fabricate a hope when he feels none. In some ways, this book is lost … Continue reading Review: Between The World And Me
