The nitty-gritty: A fast paced, frenetic story of alien invasion written as only Ernest Cline can write it, with plenty of video game action for gamers and sci-fi movie references for everyone else. As we ascended, my internal monologue went something like this: That isn’t some guy cosplaying at SobruCon IV, Zack. To me, he […]
I just got back from San Diego Comic Con and it was exhausting and wonderful and surprising, just like always. I’ll be doing a recap post later in the week, but I did want to let you know that I’m waaay behind on selecting giveaway winners for some of my recent giveaways, so stay tuned […]
The nitty-gritty: A very funny, entertaining and heartfelt accounting of the origins of small press publisher Apex Books, told by the man who started it all. You have to be careful at conventions. There are these things called room parties. Perhaps they would be better named Free Alcohol Refreshment Stations. You walk into a […]

The nitty-gritty: An atmospheric and violent tale of alien invasion, where the human characters steal the show. Adaora went into her lab. As she descended the stairs, she could practically feel it. Yes, people had been down here. The broken lock made that clear. As soon as she’d turned on the lights, she turned them […]

First of all, Happy Independence Day to all my American friends! Welcome to Over-Booked, where I share my latest book acquisitions. I’m linking up with Stacking the Shelves over at Tynga’s Reviews and The Sunday Post at Caffeinated Book Reviewer.

A week from today I’ll be deep in the costumed crowds of San Diego Comic Con! If you love fantasy, science fiction and horror like I do, then Comic Con is the BEA of the speculative fiction world. Many people think of Comic Con as a place to break out your cosplay outfits, get up […]

Each week, Nathan picks a new subject. This week’s topic, in honor of […]
Please tell me this year is not HALF OVER already… Well, get ready for a book-heavy second half, because my TBR pile is screaming in protest! Seriously, July is an epic month for speculative fiction, and I’m not sure how I’ll fit all these books into my schedule. And looking ahead to August, it’s just […]
