Excellent, punchy tale of apocalyptic eco-horror, with interesting themes challenging anthropocentric perspective. Zorn's REEF MIND reads almost like a eulogy for the human race, and a welcome to what comes after. ...more |

Not bad, but didn't inspire immediate devotion to Abercrombie or his world. Some excellent character writing. I was expecting something much darker though. 3.5/5 ...more |

| A crime thriller mish-mash of Breaking Bad, Yojimbo, and The Godfather. Not terrible, with some interesting characters and appropriately morbid scenes, but what’s familiar feels too familiar. | |

"Just vibes, no lore.
To describe a book as such seems impolite. To describe a fantasy book as such seems downright insulting. But it’s not an insult. I promise. It’s anything but, and also the first thing that comes to mind when I think of The Corpse" Read more of this review » |

"Hell yeah, this one's a blast. Think Frazetta vibes. Propulsive in the way of Karl Edward Wagner's Kane stories and the fuckedupedness of Spine of Night. It's good to see sword and sorcery is alive and well. Hashtag van wizard.

| Propulsive crime thriller with sharp dialogue. Reads like a b-movie action flick in set-up, with some deeper thematics. The story faltered a little for me with how heavy-handed it presented its themes—often failing to pass the ear test for how people ...more | |

“In some men, it might open a wound, a sad acknowledgment of the state of his marriage, but Ed did not think like that. He lived in the present and was happy to be loved in the present, if not in the past.”

“We, the many, will purge our lands of those that keep us under their thumbs. What community is truly a community when it is built on the backs of others? Which of us farms the fields? Which of us brings blood to these soils? To those that are so resolute in their superiority- we offer an alternative to their station.
This alternative is death. By our hands, by those that you have subjugated for so long.
It is true, we are not worldly. But that does not make us weak. We can be fooled, as our rulers have seen in the past. But silver tongues run red with righteous violence when the time is right.”
