Book Review: The Irreal Reader: Fiction and Essays from The Cafe Irreal

The Cafe Irreal is a literary website that’s been online since 1988. The website was an effort to bring together examples of non-realist fiction from all over the world. After going strong online for 15 years, a sort of “greatest hits” was released in collaboration with Guide Dog Books.

Keeping in line with the short attention span the internet encourages, the fiction in The Irreal Reader is ...

Book Review: DEFENDERS by Will McIntosh

Will McIntosh’s Defenders is unlike any alien invasion book I’ve read. It starts off with introductions to characters you immediately care for, revealing the strangeness and borderline horror of the world they live in. The Luyten are an alien species that has already almost won the war, combining their ability to read human minds with heat ray guns to decimate humanity into living in the ...

Review: Women Destroy Science Fiction! Lightspeed Special

When I was around 11 years old, a girl in our English class read aloud her creative writing assignment. It was about a soldier in the first World War, so badly wounded that he couldn’t stop the rats in his trench from chewing his feet off. The teacher, who had up until that moment been hearing dull little “what I did on my holidays” stories, was speechless, as was ...

Graphic Novel Review: RED SONJA VOL. 1 QUEEN OF THE PLAGUES by Gail Simone and Walter Geovani

Chainmail bikinis are a faux pas. Except they’re not when they’re worn by a barbarian woman wielding a bastard sword, then they become appropriate for all kinds of reasons. Such as, she looks badass. Or… actually I can’t think of a good reason for a woman or a man to wear so little armor, it just looks like it would chafe to no end. Carrying a sword is a ...

Book Review: THE CRIMSON CAMPAIGN by Brian McClellan

I originally read Promise of Blood, book one of The Powder Mage trilogy by Brian McClellan, because other fantasy authors I enjoyed recommended it. Despite some misgivings, I liked it enough to anticipate the release of book two, The Crimson Campaign.

I’m more than glad I stuck with the series. Most people struggle with a sequel, but Mr. McClellan knocks this one out ...
