I've had this little gem on my kindle for a long while, but I figured while I was in the mood for some short stories in between longer books, I would slam down some golem-tacular shenanigans. They call the Malar Dorah unbreakable. Five centuries it stood unconquered until foul trickery cracked its gates. Now, it... Continue Reading →
Review: The Doors at Dusk and Dawn by Bradley P. Beaulieu
I won this little gem of a novella in a giveaway some months ago, but I've not had the time to sit down and read it (yes, even keeping in mind that it only takes a couple of hours, lol). Well, finally had a bit of time to dive right in, and dive I did!... Continue Reading →
Review: Fionn – The Stalking Silence by Brian O’Sullivan
So, it actually took me longer to write and format this post than it did to read this short story. 😀 I really quite enjoy the realism of the Fionn series. It's still modern enough to understand, but it has a gritty could-actually-have-happened in a way realness to it that immerses me in each story.... Continue Reading →
Review: Lost Lore: A Fantasy Anthology
There's something to be said for an anthology from a bunch of authors I like which includes a bunch or stories that (more or less) introduce you to the author's writing style, or (perhaps a little 'and') the worlds they have created. So, of course, when I was offered a copy of this a bit... Continue Reading →
Review: Art of War edited by Petros Triantafyllou
I love a good short story. Sometimes I don't have a lot of time for reading, so I like to get complete stories into my eyeholes before I have to go off and do something else. Anthologies are something I can start and then slowly chip away at without feeling bad that it's taking an... Continue Reading →
Review: Starlings by Jo Walton
This was a NetGalley request that looked interesting. I quite liked Jo Walton's Among Others, and short fiction is a lovely 'in between' bigger novels for me. I like to sit and read a short story or two in between bigger novels as a bit of a palette cleanser, if you will, so this one... Continue Reading →
Review: Danse Macabre by Laura M. Hughes
Surprise audiobooks are the best audiobooks! I had read this lovely little novella last year with a pretty ridiculous amount of enjoyment and hadn't heard that there was an audiobook until there was! Well, I couldn't not immediately jump on it and spend the evening listening to it. The dead beckon and the little girl... Continue Reading →
Review: The Unicorn-Eater by Philip Overby
This little gem has been on my kindle for ages and it just so happened that today, I needed a laugh. And this book, I am told, and by reputable sources no less, is good for a laugh. So, off I went. For bounty hunter and obsessive sword-collector Katzia of Clovenhoof a trail of dead... Continue Reading →
Review: The Black Tides of Heaven & The Red Threads of Fortune by JY Yang
I'm going to go ahead and review these two novellas together, because they are a beautiful and wondrous pair indeed, and I can't bear to separate them. These came to my attention through my twitter feed (thanks to Tor for that <3), and once I saw them, I couldn't resist, because... well, I mean look... Continue Reading →
Review: The Overneath by Peter S. Beagle
I squeed out loud when I found out that I was approved for an ARC of this book through NetGalley. I loved The Last Unicorn. Loved it like only an 8-year-old girl with an *obsession* with unicorns could. I entered the world through the film, but it wasn't too long before I read the book,... Continue Reading →
