Review – The Resurrectionists by Michael Patrick Hicks

Review – The Resurrectionists by Michael Patrick Hicks

I nabbed this one on Netgalley ages ago, and completely forgot what it was about, so I was essentially reading it blind. Which may have actually played in its favour. The story revolves around bodies being dug up in Manhattan, and people suspect doctors, who are looking for cadavers to advance their medical knowledge, are behind it. One man, an […]

Review – Selected Stories: Horror and Dark Fantasy by Kevin J Anderson

I’ve read quite a bit of Kevin Anderson’s work – some Star Wars, some Dune, some of the other sci-fi and his Terra Incognita series.

Anyway, he also writes books which, like his Twitter persona, are funny and irreverent. Seven Blades in Black is no different. It tells the tale of Sal […]

Review – Dawn of the Exile by Mitchell Hogan

Review – Dawn of the Exile by Mitchell Hogan

I read and reviewed Shadow of the Exile a while back, and really enjoyed it, giving it a strong 4.5 out of stars. It’s rapid pace, engaging plot and likeable hero in Tarrick ensured I’d be checking out part two when it came out. Of course, then the problem becomes, can the author maintain his standards? Well, in short – […]
