Never Die by Rob J. Hayes – SPFBO #5 Finals Review
*Disclaimer* Writing and reading are subjective arts. What some folks will absolutely love, others will dislike. It is a bit like Marmite in the UK—normal people dislike it intensely, but some weird folks actually enjoy the taste of warm road surface and fresh roadkill on their tongue.

Victor Gischler Interview – A Fire Beneath the Skin
A few weeks ago, we reviewed Victor Gischler’s A Fire Beneath the Skin series. Today we are catching up with the author to talk about it and his many other projects! I was surprised to see Wikipedia has an entry on you, and I confess, I did some background research on it. A quick look […]
We’re Back!
That was a long two weeks! But thankfully we’ve gotten the site back up, though it will be looking a little bare for a bit. We had a problem with some corrupt image files and now we get to add them all back in…one at a time… Thanks for your patience while we work through […]
Fire Beneath the Skin by Victor Gischler – Series Review
Game of Thrones meets Ink Masters. Despite his award-winning literary career, Victor Gischler was an unknown to me—beyond the fact that Amazon always recommended his Ink Mage in its incessant emails. Though the cover grabbed my attention, I never read past the first two paragraphs of the blurb before tossing it onto the slopes of […]
Dark River by Rym Kechacha
It’s hard not to feel that the road is a kind of scar across the land, and the forest is like the new pink tissue forming beneath the old wound, knitting the body back together after being rent apart. Shante thinks of the faint lilac scar across her belly form the C-section giving birth to […]

His Dark Materials – Season One Review
Back in 1999, it was announced that both The Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter were becoming film franchises. There was both excitement and apprehension.

2019’s Best New Genre TV Shows
I still remember my childhood, when I wasn’t much interested in TV shows due to their being a pointed lack of sci-fi and fantasy adaptations. But these days not a week goes by when some new genre fiction gets adapted. Original material also keeps springing up left and right. So, it is almost criminal not […]
