Review Bites: DNF

I make a point of finishing every book I pick up. There have been some that I haven’t made it through in the past, but since founding a book club and working on this site, I’ve felt compelled to make sure I get through every book, even if it sometimes means skimming pages of the […]

An All New Red Sonja by Gail Simone

Posted on July 19, 2013 Leave a Comment

I love the movie Red Sonja. It’s a hunt-through-bargain-bins treasure that has been with me since the ‘80s, yet I’ve never read or even been inspired to read the comics. Until I learned that Gail Simone was going to be penning this issue (Does she have a thing for redheads?). This means no more excuses […]

Mockingbird by Chuck Wendig I can’t get enough of Miriam Black. I just can’t. I thought the initial delight of discovering this twisted and refreshingly candid series would have worn off a bit by now, but it hasn’t. If anything, I think I’m finally starting to sense of who Miriam is and the direction in […]

Hollow World art by Marc Simonetti As you know, I’m always looking out for interesting and/or promising fiction projects on Kickstarter to back. Earlier this year in March, one of my favorite fantasy authors Michael J. Sullivan decided to crowdfund his science fiction fantasy cross-genre novel Hollow World, so naturally I pledged my support. Ultimately, […]

Audiobook Review: American Gods by Neil Gaiman

Posted on July 10, 2013 1 Comment

American Gods byNeil Gaiman It has long been a shameful secret of mine that I’ve never read a Neil Gaiman novel. Sure, I’ve read his Sandman comics and a few of his short stories, but somehow, the opportunity to read a full-length novel of his has never come up, despite the fact that books like […]
