The author kindly gave me a copy of Cast in Sand and Whalemoon (which I reviewed here) on audio. I’ll talk a little about both here. I like to try out new (for me) authors, including self-published ones. Many I’ve already heard of through social media, but Dustin Porta I just found through Audiobook.boom. It turned out to be a […]
While poking through Netgalley one day, I noticed this book. It was published by 47 North, which is Amazon’s spec-fiction publishing arm, and I’ve had good experiences with their publications in the past (Jeff Wheeler, Craig Schaefer, Mitchell Hogan and so forth), so I thought I’d give it a blast. There was one caveat – while I had heard plenty […]
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: Downloadable audiobookObtained from: Library (support your public library people)Listening time: 15 hours 45 minutesPublisher: Harper AudioISBN: 9780062956644Narrator: Zachary Quinto I was thinking as I mulled over writing this that like his father, it had been a while since I’d read any Joe Hill (Horns a few years ago).

Nick and his motley crew have beaten the Wyld, preventing […]
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 […]
I received a free audio copy from the author in exchange for an honest review. This isn’t a single book review, but a trilogy review, so it may look a little different to the normal one. Darnuir, Prince of Dragons, is reborn twenty years after his arrogance causes a split among the races of his land. The Dragons (not the […]
I received an unedited proof from the publisher in exchange for an honest review. This in no way impacts my opinion (and so on). I heard a lot of talk about this book on the usual channels, so it was kind of a no-brainer that I went hunting for it on Netgalley. And glad I am that “office gossip” sometimes […]
I received a free audio copy from the author in exchange for an honest review. This in no way impacts my opinion. Salem Hawley returns as the emancipated slave who dares take on the Lovecraft canon. This time Salem travels to Arkham to retrieve a tome, Al Azif, before it falls into the wrong hands. When Salem arrives at the […]
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 […]
