I feel very lucky to have a copy of this beautiful book in my hands. Gregory Manchess is first and foremost a very talented artist, but I’m grateful he decided to step out of his comfort zone and write a story to go along with his amazing artwork. According to the publisher’s notes, there are […]
The nitty-gritty: Clever, scary, entertaining and well written, Kill Creek is a slick and polished debut.

The nitty-gritty: So. Much. Fun! If you love science and atmospheric mysteries, then you must read this book. I had never heard of this book, let alone author Andrew Mayne, who is also a TV personality and has written a bunch of other books, but I’m so glad I had the opportunity to check it […]
The nitty-gritty: A terrifying trip to the sea, where monsters lie in wait. A couple of years ago I splurged and bought a small and beautiful book from Subterranean Press called Rolling in the Deep by Mira Grant.

Indeed, the mechanism that speaks for her was created from a singing wooden clock […]
The nitty-gritty: A bleak and violent story, made beautiful by exquisite writing and an irresistible female voice. I hope you grow up to be a wild one, that you learn to spit and curse and shoot a gun. This country is not kind to soft women. This book came out of nowhere, but when fellow […]
