Book Review – The Encampment by the Gorge & Blood Memory by Zachary Ashford
It’s another Short Sharp Shocks! review, folks! I must say not one of these stories in the series has disappointed me yet, and I’m pleased to say that these two delights just add more fuel to the raging fire. The… Read More ›

Book Review – Cinders of a Blind Man Who Could See by Kev Harrison
I’m on something of a Short Sharp Shocks! bender at the moment. I’m devouring these tales and this short story is yet another superb entry in the growing list of great titles. This story had me from the very first… Read More ›
