Wendy’s Pick
Black Feathers was an intriguing book that I mulled over long after I had finished reading it. I am definitely curious about what comes next for the Black Dawn.
The Book of the Crowman by Joseph D’Lacey
January 28, 2014 (Angry Robot)
It is the Black Dawn, a time of environmental apocalypse, the earth wracked and dying.
January 28, 2014 (Angry Robot)
It is the Black Dawn, a time of environmental apocalypse, the earth wracked and dying.
It is the Bright Day, a time long generations hence, when a peace has descended across the world.
The search for the shadowy figure known only as the Crowman continues, as the Green Men prepare to rise up against the forces of the Ward.
The world has been condemned. Only Gordon Black and The Crowman can redeem it
Mogsy’s Pick
Hang Wire by Adam Christopher: January 28, 2014 (Angry Robot)
My pick is something from Angry Robot as well, coming out on the same day. I’ve wanted to read something by Adam Christopher for a long time, and for my first book by him I think Hang Wire will do the trick!
“When Ted Hall’s birthday dinner in San Francisco’s famous Chinatown ends with an explosion, the fire department blames a gas leak, but when Ted finds strange, personalised messages from the restaurant’s fortune cookies scattered around his apartment, his suspicions are aroused, particularly as his somnambulant travels appear to coincide with murders by the notorious Hang Wire Killer.
Meanwhile, the circus has come to town, but the Celtic dancers are taking their pagan act a little too seriously and the manager of the Olde Worlde Funfair has started talking to his vintage machines. And while the new acrobat is wowing the crowds, his frequent absences are causing tension among the performers.
Out in the city there are other new arrivals, immortals searching for an ancient power which has been unleashed, awakening something awful buried deep beneath the San Andreas fault… a primal evil which, if not stopped, will destroy the entire world.”
