The Common Store of Monsters
I am slowly grinding my way through the re-writes for Veins of the Earth. As part of the re-write I have re-organised the ‘Pariahs of the Earth’ monsters section into a list of sixty creatures, expanding some concepts and re-doing others. Some of these are ‘Re-Skins’ or re-conceptions of common D&D monsters, some are descriptions of whole cultures.

Feels surprisingly 'clean' for a Fehervari book, in that I had a reasonably good idea who was where and what was going on, and when, which is not always the case low toyetic descriptions (has Fehervari been given 'a pass' on this?). watching souls diss ...more |

| A lot of these stories are about flawed love or the failures of relationships in quite intimate terms and also about the fates and futures of entire species and meta-cultures. They also have a relative depth and subtlety towards the intimacies of hum ...more | |

I am unsure how to feel about this book. On the one hand, I feel a degree of contempt for Lin Carter for taking something I genuinely think is very good; the Conan stories, and producing a shallow, velour, Italian movie hackwork of them, almost after ...more |

| An overwhelmingly well-written book for which I feel a certain contempt. I do not like the Consul or Malcolm Lowry. A weak man who stayed weak. In part, he reminds me too much of the darker aspects of myself - like Lowry I botched a degree and came a ...more | |

"I Want My World Back
I doubt that a recognised talent like Waugh would spend time on an historical fantasy like Helena without a purpose. So reading the book one is constantly searching for his intention. Piety? Whimsey? Correction of historical perce" Read more of this review » |

| A slim, complex, ironic and more-ambiguous-than-intended, (maybe?) text. The story of a woman's growth, or change, into strong faith, which completely ignores any of the actual inflection points or moments of crisis such a change requires. The story ...more | |
“Then Viol Chrime-Forgot and Sir Duno Chrime held each other tightly and wept sweet tears and Sir Duno Chrime swore that he did not care if his squire was a little strange and that he would never abandon him again so long as he lived and Viol Chrime-Forgot said he did not care if Duno Chrime was old, or mad or thought that he was made of glass, for he would never be apart from him again no matter what adventure fell, and though neither could hear each other over the roaring of the endless falls, or see each others tears for the misty dripping of the cave each knew what the other said and meant, and so they were friends again and remained so for as long as they both lived.”

“Kulwar Wolters, a gloved man I suspect to be a Cliothaum, can and could be anywhere.
Cliothaumy’s an illegal skill, rare and hard to learn. It lets you burn memory to twist the world in certain ways. The more you use it, the less you know why. Magic never gives you anything back, there’s always a trick. Kulwar Wolters used it rarely, if at all. But his fingertips were burnt, I think.”
