Book Review – Communion by Steve Stred
Steve Stred’s Ritual was a brutal novella with violence, otherworldly cults (kvlts?), and some questionable antics by a supposed holy man. It was pretty graphic and gross; which means it was great. Communion is the next instalment in the trilogy… Read More ›

Book Review – Land of Bones by Glenn Rolfe
I’ve recently been diagnosed with a case of Glenn Rolfe Fever. I wouldn’t say ‘suffering with’ because that would indicate it’s not been an enjoyable experience. I devoured his short novel, Becoming, and now I’m here again with a review… Read More ›
