From the best-selling author of the Supervillainy Saga

It's been a rough year for Peter Stone.

Vampires are not meant to be quarantined, and most of the nation is under lockdown. It has been extra hard in the city of New Detroit, which depends on tourism not only for its economy but its blood supply. With his creator kidnapped, mother dead, and finding himself once more exiled to the fringes of t...

Cowboy Bebop (2021) review

     Cowboy Bepop was one of my all-time favorite anime when I was in college. It was 1998 and I was a huge otaku with a love for anything shown on television or available to buy on VHS. It was unlike anything else I'd ever seen (Firefly wasn't out until 2002 and The Expanse wouldn't be out until 2015). It was a beautiful well-realized science fiction world taking place in the solar system in the near-future that managed to combine the used future of Star Wars, jazz, Westerns, martial arts, and ...

Twenty Kindle Unlimited books that don't suck

99c not KU - but it's my blog.
    Kindle Unlimited has been a feast and a famine to self-published as well as small press publishers throughout the internet. It provides a chance to get books out to a much larger audience than might normally be achieved and turns the Amazon algorhythm from friend to foe. At least theoretically. However, there's a certain level of caveat emptor to be found when trying to find your next monthly rental. There are many Kindle Unlimited books which stand up to the ma...

Far Cry 6 review

Anton Castillo calls all true Yaryans to reject the cause of Libertad and to embrace the peaceful reign of El Presidente!

    The Far Cry franchise hit its zenith with Far Cry 3 and Michael Mando's legendary Vaas character in the same way that Fallout 3 changed the Fallout franchise. It made an open world environment, gave us an interesting story about people degenerating into savagery, and also critiqued the savior narrative of video games by making it clear the protagonist is deluding himsel...

Ten Recommended Indie Cyberpunk Novels

    Cyberpunk is a genre that is frequently considered to be dead by certain segments of the fandom or at least considered to be past its heyday. This despite the fact that the world is becoming more cyberpunk than ever with the integration of computers, disparity of wealth, and rising power of corporations. Indeed, one may argue the same forces that were driving society (and thus the genre) in the Eighties are the same forces driving society today.

    However, I don't think cyberpunk is dead. I...

Resident Evil: Village review

    I am a huge Resident Evil VII fan and it is easily my favorite of the franchise. Yes, even more than Resident Evil II where I developed my perverse sexual lust for Claire Redfield as a teenage boy. TMI? Yeah, probably. Either way, I absolutely loved how the game brought back survival horror as a genre when it had been almost gutted from the series after Resident Evil VI. The fact they managed to combine it with Southern Gothic horror made it also a unique entry into the series. I grew up in ...

Vampire: The Masquerade: Parliament of Knives review

    PARLIAMENT OF KNIVES is a interactive novel from Choice of Games and the third such choose-your-own adventure-esque game set in White Wolf's World of Darkness. I enjoyed NIGHT ROAD and OUT FOR BLOOD but I felt that the former was significantly more enjoyable than the latter. Strangely, I think Out for Blood may be the one that sticks with me longer, though. Each of the novels takes a different perspective on Kindred society with the first being a low-level grunt working for the Camarilla as ...
