I do enjoy werewolf tales and this short read has plenty of twists to offset the story's otherwise predictable path. A good short read and a short review.

Hellboy by Mike Mignola
Rate this book
Clear rating
I'm picky about Hellboy stories, but thankfully this tale fits the mold in my head well indeed. Gritty and layered and nicely referencing previous Hellboy/BPRD lore, it turned out to be a very entertaining story. If you enjoy Hellboy and his eldritch ...more

Far Horizons by Robert Silverberg
Rate this book
Clear rating
Overall, a good collection of solid stories from among some of scifi's greatest authors that sought to revisit worlds/universes they had written about previously and write a new story in that world. Some were more enjoyable than others, but all were ...more

I normally don't do reviews of multiple volumes or books at a time but Black Cat Weekly issues #201, #202 and #203 were were quick, easy reads. They're chock full of a variety of story types (scifi, mystery, horror, weird fiction, noir), and as you m ...more

New Folks' Home and Other Stories by Clifford D. Simak

Reading Simak is like relaxing in a hammock on a warm summer afternoon. Not necessarily comfort scifi, but Golden Age era scifi that, while it can build tension, definitely and distinctly fits in the subgenre of pastoral science fiction that brings a ...more

A mixed bag of enjoyable and forgettable stories and poems. Interesting styles and subject matters brought by a number of authors, many of whom I'd not read before. The outstanding stories I found to be: Bringing Dead Things Home by Matthew Wilson; S ...more

Saturation Point by Adrian Tchaikovsky
Saturation Point
by Adrian Tchaikovsky (Goodreads Author)
Rate this book
Clear rating
Another fascinating and deeply engrossing novel from Tchaikovsky. Written in a frenetic style very similar to Alien Clay, its semi disjointed style adds to the suspense and dread rather than distracting from either. And the science behind the scfi/ho ...more

Dragon Teeth by Michael Crichton
Rate this book
Clear rating
I find it hard to resist reading any Michael Crichton book (and re-reading certain of them) as I find his brand of storytelling irresistible. The nerd-level of detail and background information is right in my geeky wheelhouse, not mention the incredi ...more
