Upcoming: Pretty Little Dead Girls

Formed a while ago by my author friends Tim Marquitz and Joe Martin, Ragnarok Publications has been going all-out this year, releasing books after books. It also helps in a big way that their Publicity Coordinator, Melanie Meadors, is an extremely upbeat and energetic person. One of the authors that Tim and Joe have signed […]

Velvet #6-7 (Comics Review)

Each month I am more and more impressed with Velvet by Ed Brubaker and Steve Epting. In the title’s first arc they’ve taken the protagonist on an almost globe-hopping mission of investigation into the death of one of Britain’s finest intelligence agents, and they’ve done so by creating a protagonist who is nuanced, balanced, and […]

Judge Dredd: Anderson, Psi-Division #1-2 (Comics Review)

I got hooked on to the Judge Dredd experience back in late 2011 when I had (mis)fortune of watching the Sylvester Stallone-starrer. It was a rough experience to be sure, but soon after that I took a dip back in when I started listening to Big Finish’s Judge Dredd audios and when I saw the […]

All The Windwracked Stars by Elizabeth Bear (Audio Review)

Elizabeth Bear is an author I’ve wanted to read for the longest time, alongside a long line of other authors. When I began my “25 Series To Read In 2013″ reading challenge last year, I put one of her earliest series on the list because I wanted to kind of see how she got started […]

Fortune’s Pawn by Rachel Bach (Book Review)

As you have seen recently from my reposted reviews, Rachel Aaron is one of my favourite fantasy authors, for a whole load of different reasons. When I heard in late 2012 that Rachel was going to be publishing a new series with Orbit Books, a space opera trilogy no less, I got very excited. All […]

Debris by Jo Anderton (Book Review)

2012  was the year when I really got back into reading on a regular consistent basis, and I started the year off by reading some great novels from Angry Robot. Throughout the year, I read a number of the publisher’s titles, old and new alike, and one of these was award-winning author Jo Anderton’s Debris, […]

Hexed #1-2 (Comics Review)

I haven’t read a whole lot of comics from Boom Studios to date. I was onboard with their Hypernatural series for a while back in 2012, and read a few other titles here and there, but didn’t really stick with anything. Which is something that I really should correct since a lot of the publisher’s […]

Chastity #1-3 (Comics Review)

Dynamite Entertainment has often been about dark adult fantasy, much as with Zenescope Entertainment, though the two publishers have an entirely different focus despite often focusing on the same genres. The recent year and a half has seen Dynamite experimenting quite a bit with female-led comics, with titles like Dejah of Mars making their debut, […]

The Key to Creation by Kevin J. Anderson (Book Review)

After reading the massive first two Terra Incognita novels back to back, I was almost burned out, but I went on with The Key To Creation, the third novel, nonetheless. I wanted to complete the experience while the events of the first two novels were still largely fresh in my mind, while I still could […]

The Map of All Things by Kevin J. Anderson (Book Review)

Once I got started on my reading of the Terra Incognita novels, I didn’t stop, I just plowed straight on, finishing the trilogy in about a week I think, or maybe an extra day or two at most. The experience was an intense one and I definitely immersed myself in the tales of dogmatic religious […]
