This book, like others I own, had been rotting (rusting?) away on my Kindle for far too long. On a number of occasions, whilst perusing the very long list of potential next reads, my thumb has paused over it but… Read More ›

Book Review – Antidote Illusions by Erik Hofstatter
This is the second instalment in the Tristan Grieves Fragments, and is just as messed up and weird as the first, which I previously reviewed right about here! As with Fragment no.1, this tale is laced with lyrical prose that… Read More ›
Book Review – The Broken Darkness by Theresa Braun
I can safely say that I am a fan of Theresa Braun’s work. I’ve read a few of her stories over the years, so when I heard about a big collection with oodles of these tales within, I couldn’t really… Read More ›

I knew little about this book before diving in. OK, I knew it was horror, and I knew I thought the cover was pretty brutal. I bought this on the back of the author tweeting about it being on sale,… Read More ›
Book Review – The Future in the Sky by Steve Stred
I’m an occasional Sci-Fi’er. Usually there’s got to be some kind of horror element to it, but not always. We shouldn’t just stick to one genre now, should we? I may not have picked this up if I wasn’t a… Read More ›
