Today is part 2 of my reviews in Apex Publication's Back Catalog Blog Tour this month! Enjoy my review of an older title of theirs, SEVERANCE, a remixed generation ship story from former Cracked.com writer, Chris Bucholz. The Argos has spent over two centuries en route to Tau Prius, its destination, but the inhabitants have … Continue reading Review: Severance

Review: Prime Meridian
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: 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
Review: Sea of Rust
Cargill doesn't ease off the gas pedal, bringing a harsh, but fantastical post-apocalyptic world to life, well with chrome-embodied life. It has been a long time, since I read a 350+ book in less than four days, but SEA OF RUST from C. Robert Cargill broke that drought and I am absolutely thrilled about it. … Continue reading Review: Sea of Rust
Review: North American Lake Monsters
I've been on a bit of a collection kick, if you could not tell and I was unprepared for reading my first collection by Nathan Ballingrud. NORTH AMERICAN LAKE MONSTERS is a searing, uncomfortable taste of brutal humanity. Describing this collection of stories would be to say it is a splicing of Raymond Carver and … Continue reading Review: North American Lake Monsters
Review: Dark Thoughts
I enjoy horror and Kevin J. Kennedy provides some of the most twisted and pulpy stuff out there. This collection, the first I've had a chance to read is no exception. Not every story landed with me, but the ones that did were fantastic and I'll discuss them in more detail in a moment. DARK … Continue reading Review: Dark Thoughts
Review: We Should All Be Feminists
I've been needing some pallet cleansers of late and Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie has really been coming through as one as I jump between genres and fiction projects. This was another shorter form work, which is actually an adapted TEDx talk she gave a few years back. It's more of an essay than a full fledged … Continue reading Review: We Should All Be Feminists
