LINGHUN by Ai Jiang – Review
Posted April 17, 2023 by Tammy in 4 1/2 stars, Reviews, Uncategorized / 23 Comments

The nitty-gritty: Ai Jiang explores grief and loss in this unsettling, beautifully written tale.  “This town worships the dead, but it has no respect for the living.”  Ai Jiang is destined to be an important author in the horror field, if she isn’t already. Linghun was one of the most unusual stories I’ve ever read, […]

UNTETHERED SKY by Fonda Lee – Review
Posted April 14, 2023 by Tammy in 4 stars, Reviews / 10 Comments

The nitty-gritty: Fonda Lee populates her latest story with mythological creatures, resulting in a thrilling, heartfelt story.

Posted April 10, 2023 by Tammy in 4 stars, Reviews / 13 Comments

The nitty-gritty: An audacious idea, stellar writing, black humor galore and a well paced plot make Death Watch a “can’t miss” thriller.  Sometimes I take a chance on an author or a publisher I’ve never worked with before, and sometimes it pays off big time. I had a blast with Death Watch, a high concept […]
