Another month, another Black Hare Press anthology. This one is based around the paranormal, ghosts and the afterlife. I managed to crank out five micro fiction stories for this one, even included a small riff on Ghost busters, so be sure to check those out. The list of all those stories will be at the bottom … Continue reading Book Release: Beyond

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: Screechers
I wasn't sure what I was in for with a title like SCREECHERS and a tag-team of authors in Kevin J. Kennedy & Christina Berling, but the experience was a pleasant one, that is if you enjoy nightmarish hellscapes. In SCREECHERS, we have two interweaving stories. One follows three men, Austin, Denver, and Brooklyn (gotta … Continue reading Review: Screechers

Review: Witchmark
Here is another from the Nebula finalist list, WITCHMARK by C.L. Polk. This novel brought a lot of things to mind, Sherlock Holmes, WWI period dramas, and not shockingly, BROADCHURCH. Set in a secondary world that will remind many readers of pre-WWI England, noble families use their innate magical power to control their countries, down … Continue reading Review: Witchmark
Review: Trial of Lightning
First review for a novel that is on both the Hugos and Nebula lists is here! TRAIL OF LIGHTNING by Rebecca Roanhorse is everything anyone could want from a fantastic, dystopian world. Add in the indigenous culture and characters and you have a knockout premise that revives and refreshes old tropes and makes new ones. Maggie … Continue reading Review: Trial of Lightning
Review: Red Sky Blues
Recalling famous magical detectives, like Harry Dresden and others, Matthew Davis' RED SKY BLUES goes in a completely different direction with occult mysticism, zombie pigs, and clouds of cockroaches. Not your thing? Well, it isn't exactly Thomas Grey's thing either, but he has had quite a day. Thomas, short on cash, is hired by the … Continue reading Review: Red Sky Blues
