This is my first ever Grady Hendrix novel. I’ve heard his name bandied about on the internet, seen his cool book titles and read some rave reviews, but I’ve been putting them on the long finger due to too many books and too little time. Then I discovered we had the e-audio of The Southern Book Club’s Guide to Slaying […]
Obligatory Star Wars reference – the author was inspired to write this book by his love of Star Wars. He says it in the book. Every review, even a one-word-review will mention this, so I feel obliged to. Job done.

Format: AudibleObtained from: AuthorListening time: 17 hours 13 minutesPublisher: ASIN: B084B8DPWJNarrator: William L Hahn I like historical fiction. A lot. In fact, I probably like HF better than fantasy (and I love fantasy), but there seems to be less around to sate my need. Seriously, look up best historical fiction and it’s predominately romance. Anyway, Marcus Takes Command has all […]

**Audiobook Warning** So, we’ve got telekinetic kids, a small town cop (actually, two) who is more than meets the eye, shadowy agents, numerous references to Maine and a Scooby Doo ending. Yes, people, we are in Stephen King territory. To be fair, apart from the first two books in the Dark Tower series (loved book one, not so much book […]
I received a free copy from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. This in no way impacts my opinions. Before I get on with the book, I’d like to comment on the previous statement, which I’ve typed a significant number of times over the years. I write fairly lengthy and in-depth reviews. Not as long as some, and certainly […]
The Living Dead by George A Romero and Daniel Kraus
I often start these reviews with something trite like “this is the first book I have read by this author” and while this is true in this case, I wouldn’t imagine there are a lot of people (at least in “Western” society) who can lay claim to being unfamiliar with George A Romero, who is often accredited with taking the […]
