GLITTERATI by Oliver K. Langmead – Review

GLITTERATI by Oliver K. Langmead – Review
Posted May 30, 2022 by Tammy in 4 1/2 stars, Reviews / 27 Comments

The nitty-gritty: Bizarre, funny, and shocking, Glitterati is as sparkling and dangerous as the outfits worn by the characters. “From her clutch she had taken a tiny bottle of tears (sourced, no doubt, from only the cleanest unfashionables) and had dripped several into her eyes to make them fill and glisten. Currently, there was a […]

MERCURY RISING by R.W.W. Greene – Review

MERCURY RISING by R.W.W. Greene – Review
Posted May 12, 2022 by Tammy in 4 1/2 stars, Reviews / 19 Comments

The nitty-gritty: Low-tech and futuristic space travel combine in surprising ways in this entertaining series opener. Last year I thoroughly enjoyed R.W.W. Greene’s Twenty-Five to Life, and so I jumped at the chance to read his latest book from Angry Robot. Mercury Rising is just as compelling but in a different way. Where Twenty-Five to […]

The nitty-gritty: Heartstopping action, hysterically funny dialog and unforgettable characters make A Sh*tload of Crazy Powers a fantastic entry into Jackson Ford’s addictive series.  “You stupid little girl,” he says. “Look at me.” I do. He opens his mouth, but I get there first. “Enough with this little girl shit. I have a name. It’s […]

ROSEBUD by Paul Cornell – Review

ROSEBUD by Paul Cornell – Review
Posted April 28, 2022 by Tammy in 3 1/2 stars, Reviews / 27 Comments

The nitty-gritty: An unusual sci-fi mystery with quirky characters, Rosebud is both entertaining and mind-bending. I’ve read some weird books in my time, but Rosebud might be the very weirdest! And I say that with fondness, because I really did enjoy it. Paul Cornell takes ideas like how an individual’s history shapes them, mixes in […]

NETTLE & BONE by T. Kingfisher – Review

NETTLE & BONE by T. Kingfisher – Review
Posted April 25, 2022 by Tammy in 4 1/2 stars, Reviews / 34 Comments

The nitty-gritty: A hilarious fairy tale, both dark and light, full T. Kingfisher’s trademark quirky and lovable characters. The bone dog came alive at dusk. It was not quite completed, but it was close. She was bent over the left front paw when the skull’s jaws yawned open and it stretched as if waking from […]
