Teaser Tuesday: Pest, Friend, or Foe? #vampires #fantasy
Cover Art by Alison Hunt Today’s teaser introduces a new character who may be just what Clyde needs to survive War of Nytefall: Savagery. I was on the fence about making a post about this guy too or even showing his name right now. He’s a denizen of Mestra, so maybe you’ll get to see him […]
Screw Book Purists!
With the release of Shadow and Bone on Netflix, I got to thinking how huffy some readers get when a great book makes it to the screen. Book to TV or film adaptations are getting a bad rep with book purists. Well… great stories should NOT be limited to one medium. I’m all for books. […]
Fast-paced, adventure-packed Fantasy -Kingdoms at War by Lindsay Buroker

Interview with Tim Powers (FORCED PERSPECTIVES)
Photo: Matt Gush Tim Powers is a unique voice in Fantasy. He specialises in rigorously researched secret histories, in which gaps in the historical record are explained by the fantastical or the supernatural. But this description hardly does justice to his incredible novels, which are among the most inventive and joyous I have ever read. […]
