DEADLANDS: BONEYARD – Seanan McGuire

It is not a secret that I am a tremendous fan of Seanan McGuire’s work. I think she’s the best urban fantasy and urban horror writer actively working today (under both her name and her pen name Mira Grant). And so, of course, when I see I McGuire/Grant novel available for review I eagerly request Continue reading

THE GLOAMING – ML Worthingham

I receive ARC’s (Advance Reading Copies) in a variety of different ways. In this case the publicist reached out to me and offered the book to me in exchange for a review. I was a little reluctant because I’m quite behind in my ARC reading already, and said that I couldn’t promise timeliness, although the Continue reading

KINGDOM OF NEEDLE AND BONE – Mira Grant

Powerhouse author Mira Grant takes an idea that appears to be ripped right out of the newspaper headlines and makes it even more terrifying because we all know who close to truth this fictional story is.

It is 1891 and the massacre of Wounded Knee has already occurred and there are many strange, dangerous things going on in the territory. Men have slaughtered another man, wolves have viciously hunted in packs, and there’s an ill wind blowing, creating much fear at the nearby fort and throughout the area.

LOST BOY – Christina Henry
Wow. Christina Henry sure can write! This is only the second book of Henry’s that I’ve read, but both have made a real impression on me. Lost Boy is “The True Story of Captain Hook” so it’s not really much of a surprise who the narrator of the story is, but Henry weaves a magical Continue reading
