James Pyles liked Dawn Peers's review of Reviver (Reviver Trilogy, #1): "This was an excellent, if not original, work of fiction. The premise of reviving the dead, if only for brief periods of time, has been covered in many different areas of fiction. The most popular and recent instance of this would be Torchwood, and the" Read more of this review »

James’s Quotes

“Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you.”
― Friedrich Nietzsche

“Now the standard cure for one who is sunk is to consider those in actual destitution or physical suffering—this is an all-weather beatitude for gloom in general and fairly salutary day-time advice for everyone. But at three o’clock in the morning, a forgotten package has the same tragic importance as a death sentence, and the cure doesn’t work—and in a real dark night of the soul it is always three o’clock in the morning, day after day.”
― F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Crack-Up
