    A Song of Steel by J.C. Duncan | Book Review

    March 29, 2021 /

    A song of Steel is a debut novel that heralds epic fantasy in its rawest form.  The story can envelop you like a long lost relative after spending months apart.  Every interconnecting aspect of it just feels right.  From its brutally accurate characterization and its dramatic historic landscape, it’s the kind of story that leaves you grappling for cognitive cohesion.  The immersion and the compulsiveness has you addicted within a few pages.  Duncan’s spellbinding narrative took me hostage and posted my ransom…although, truth be told, I didn’t want anyone to pay it!  A Song of Steel is just another book that shows that Indie Fantasy is where its at right…

    Generation Z by Peter Meredith | Book Review

    March 1, 2021 /

    Generation Z is a post-apocalyptic Zombie novel that didn’t hit home with me.  It could have been something entirely different if the first half of the novel wasn’t being written solely for the second half.  The cover instantly grabbed me, and it looked like it was right down my alley.  Just from reading the first chapter I could tell that this series was a spin off from a much larger world and it did feel like I was missing out on a lot of the backstory and the world building in general.  Generation Z did the zombie interpretation fantastically.  The imagery and the fear were palpable, and I did find…

    Dawn of Wonder by Jonathan Renshaw | Review

    January 21, 2021 /

     Well, hello that one came out of left field didn’t it?  The Dawn of Wonder surprised me with the sheer force of its narrative and sense of adventure.  A book that is part right of passage and part revenge.  This was picked up by a whim and I’m extremely glad that it didn’t disappoint because it a story of epic proportions and an epic length to match.  This is what I love about self-published fantasy; it can kick that story home and unleash hidden gems in amongst a populated genre.  This name wouldn’t be out of place besides, Sanderson, Tolkien, and Gwynne.  Dawn of Wonder ticked all the boxes.  From…

    Horror Short Story Collection

    The Lament of the Silver Badger by Oli Jacobs | Review

    December 29, 2020 /

    The Lament of the Silver Badger is a collection of horror short stories by Oli Jacobs.  Once again, the author has knocked it out of the mother-fucking park!  I’ve read more than a few short story collections of late and can hand on heart say that this is the best one I’ve read to date.  Let me just clarify my feelings and thoughts during my read of this awesome collection. WHAT THE HELL? WHAT DID I JUST READ? IT’S COMING, ITS TOTALLY COMING NO WAY… THAT CAN’T BE THE END!! THIS IS AWESOME These were my thoughts while reading Oli Jacob’s highly imaginative short story collection.  You know you’ve found…

    The Station 17 Chronicles by Oli Jacobs | Review

    December 26, 2020 /

    Another year is drawing a close and whilst the times we are living in Is unknown and uncertain, one thing has become abundantly clear; we can rely on books to get us through.  2020 has brought me some new authors, especially ones that publish independently.  The Station 17 Chronicles is the second book I have read and reviewed by Oli Jacobs and I’m stunned once again by his sharp wit, well-structured prose, and fantastical storylines.  He has become a must-read author and I will go on to read his back catalogue.  He was able to shock me and make my head implode with his stonker novel, Wilthaven.  The Station 17…

    Winter’s Fury by A.E. Rayne | Review

    November 27, 2020 /

    Winter’s Fury…yet another Norse inspired novel that has indeed broken me.  An ending that only has you downloading book two and screaming into the void!  An ending that will only have you yelling the authors name, but without A.E. Rayne’s dastardly writing skills, there would be no Winter’s Fury.  It’s taken me a few days to write this review because I have been on a book hungover, adrenaline intoxicated state.  This is the second Norse -inspired book that I’ve read in under a week and I seriously think I’ve found my fantasy sub-genre niche.  Let’s take a small walk and allow me to show you just why I ended up…
