Posted January 14, 2021 by Tammy in 4 stars, Reviews / 34 Comments

The nitty-gritty: A unique combination of sci-fi, folklore and coming-of-age, Remote Control is another atmospheric and thoughtful book by Nnedi Okorafor.  This is a strange little Africanfuturism story that I enjoyed a lot, and if you’re a fan of Nnedi Okorafor you will enjoy it too. Remote Control has science fiction elements, but as other […]

WE HEAR VOICES by Evie Green – Review

WE HEAR VOICES by Evie Green – Review
Posted December 19, 2020 by Tammy in 4 stars, Reviews / 23 Comments

The nitty-gritty: An ambitious genre mash-up that tackles such diverse topics as poverty, imaginary friends, space exploration and family bonds. We Hear Voices caught me off guard, but in a good way. I don’t know what I was expecting, but I didn’t realize this was science fiction/dystopian when I started reading it. It looks like […]

The nitty-gritty: Andrew Shaffer skewers publishing and 80s horror in this homage to the genre, complete with a Christmas setting. Lussi parked Agnes’s Yugo around the corner from the Blackwood Building underneath a burned-out streetlight. It was nearly three in the morning. She had never stolen a car before and never planned to again. Tonight […]

The nitty-gritty: Lovecraft meets The Twilight Zone in this fast-paced, monster-filled horror story.  This was a lot of fun! I wasn’t sure what to expect from Eight Cylinders, and I definitely got something a little different, but I ended up really enjoying this book. As you might have guessed from the cover, there’s a Lovecraft […]

CALL OF THE BONE SHIPS by R.J. Barker

Posted November 26, 2020 by Tammy in 5 stars, Reviews / 35 Comments

The nitty-gritty: A stunning follow-up to The Bone Ships, R.J. Barker’s thrilling, intricately plotted seafaring fantasy is just as good, if not better, than the first book. The gullaime made their way to the windspire, a curved, pale bone-like piece of rock that sang to Joron—the spires always sang, and it was a song Joron […]
