Will do! First 50pages has been very engaging, so it's on a good trajectory.

Trying out Weapon of Flesh by Chris A. Jackson (2005, so its kinda new). Met him at Gencon. A fellow scientist (biologist) and dark fantasy writer.

All Black Company books are fair game... so if any want to wait/pass on the new one, pls consider (re)reading any other

Kindle is 13 USD... cripes. Well, I pre-ordered anyway.

Marvel Comics:

“This January, Conan makes his triumphant return to Marvel Comics in the all-new CONAN THE BARBARIAN! And today, Marvel is excited to announce the new creative team of the first series—the acclaimed team who will lead the famed barbarian into his new adventures!

Legendary writer Jason Aaron will helm the new tales of the sword-slashing hero, bringing him to life alongside star artist Mahmud Asrar. Aaron and Asrar will be joined by cover artist Esad Ribic and colorist Matt Wilson.”

Wow, best effort for a book haul!

Nice haul Jack!

That's a nice blog with a decent following.

I don’t think the label matters too much. They are not permanent. Even if printed with a category into a paperback... electronic blurbs/copy can change any time.

Biggest thing would be seek out the groups/subgenres that have critical mass ... then lurk or participate in forums (here, Facebook, reddit, etc) to see if they match the target audience.

@Joseph, is that an electronic book haul? Lol. Must have had a gift card or something. Else, the Guy Windsor interview had to be very compelling!

@Richard, looking forward to your review on Gonji!

Check out this interview with author Richard Lee Byers known for his Forgotten Realm contributions. He holds a Master's degree in Psychology and worked in an emergency psychiatric facility for over a decade, then left the mental health field to write. He is the author of more than fifteen books, including the lead book Dissolution (first book in the War of the Spider Queen series). Here we’ll focus on his approach to making horror pleasing, reveal his muses for creating beautiful dark fiction.

And, eh gad, let us subject him to a Rorshach test!

Jack, those both count for groupreads! Sullivan is “new” and Kane...well Kane will have a folder in 3weeks.

Looks like you liked Riyia.

Cool! Thx for the support. I hope you get nightmares!

Oooh the Blighted City looks like my cup of tea
