I received a free copy of the audiobook from the author in exchange for an honest review. I’ve read a few of the author’s short stories in my time, and found them to be entertaining and creative, but I haven’t read one of his full-length novels yet. Until now. I gotta say, I liked it. The Gordon Place is about […]
Black City Saint by Richard A Knaak
I received a free copy of the audiobook from the narrator in exchange for an honest review. You know the way there are really prolific authors who you’ve always wanted to read, and for whatever reason, you never get around to? Well, I can scratch Richard A Knaak off that list. The ridiculously prolific writer, who has written in (amongst […]
Haggopian and Other Stories (Best Mythos Tales) by Brian Lumley
I received a free audio copy from the narrator in exchange for an honest review. This in no way imaginable alters my opinions. I still remember enjoying the Necroscope series back in the dawn of my 20s. While I often wonder if my opinion of it today would be different to those of my salad days, despite it being nearly […]
Black Hallows: Cradle of Darkness by Tom GH Adams
I received a free audio copy from the author in exchange for an honest review. I like the idea that the story revolves around a planet that suffers tectonic upheavals due to its orbital alignment. These upheavals release (more) evil onto the world by means of Black Hallows (the series title). This affects different people in different ways, but the […]
We Are Monsters by Brian Kirk
We Thanks to Netgalley for this one. Please note that all opinions offered in the review are my own. I liked the sound of this one when I read the blurb on Netgalley, so I was more than happy when they sent a copy my way. However, I’m torn, as I loved the first half of the book, but thought […]
Heart of Defiance by Ryan Kirk
I received a free audio copy from the author with the option of providing an honest review. As the idea of being dishonest is anathema to me, this will in now alter my opinion. This is the story of Bai, a young woman who wakes to find her village destroyed and many of the people dead. As one does, she […]
Bridgers 5 – The Trial of Extinction, by Stan C Smith
I received a free ARC from the author in return for an honest review. This in now way impacts my opinion. I’ve been enjoying this series so far. The basic premise revolves around the people of earth discovering an alien technology that allows them to travel to different forms of earth that have deviated somewhere from the timeline of our […]
The Fearing, by John FD Taff
This is a review of a four part series, which I have received free copies of each novella from the publisher (Grey Matter Press) in return for an honest review. This in no way impacts my opinion. I’ve reviewed each book separately on Goodreads, and you can find the links here: Book I – Fire and Rain Book II […]
The Rage of Dragons, by Evan Winter
This book was busy making a name for itself in 2019, so when it popped up in my library, I decided to jump in and see what all the fuss was about. This “African” (the diversity of cultures in that continent make this a broad statement) based fantasy revolves around Tau, a young lower class man, who embarks on a […]
Monsters and Mythical Creatures from Around the World, by Heather Frigiola
I received an ARC of the book from the author in exchange for an honest review. In now way does this impact my opinions. I went for a rare non-fiction book here, as it was about mythology and folklore, one (two?) of my favourite subjects. There’s no plot or tagline to hook you in, so I won’t write a mini-synopsis, […]
