After watching Prometheus, I decided I needed a dose of good science fiction. This was a problem for me as I have not kept up with the genre and had no clue where to begin. It was a face-palm moment when I realized that I was following a great science fiction author already. I found […]
There is an an app called Goodreads that I use to track books I have read, keep a list of books I would like to read, and keep up-to-date on the books and blogs of my favorite writers. My to-read list in the app currently stands at 19. This list has grown so large as I […]
I could think of no better way to tie up the theme of badassery than by telling you about the novel Blood Oath by Christopher Farnsworth. Let me start off by giving you the elevator pitch. Blood Oath is equal parts The Bourne Identity, World of Darkness, and H P Lovecraft. It takes urban fantasy […]
I’m a HUGE Guillermo Del Toro fan. He has, without a doubt, one of the most amazing visual minds of anyone working in media today. It’s no wonder that everyone wants to work with Del Toro, from Disney to video game companies to novelist Chuck Hogan. Del Toro has a lot of ideas when it […]
Necessity is the mother of invention. To increase productivity, mankind needed an efficient way to illuminate the night. So, Heinrich Goebel invented the light bulb and Thomas Edison, needing to be rich, stole that invention. Guys like me needed to be able to sit through all three Director’s Cuts of The Lord of the Rings […]
The sixth entry in the Skulduggery Pleasant series has been released? What? A quick glance at Amazon shows that only the first three books have been released in the United States.

When it was announced that popular horror filmmaker Guillermo del Toro would be co-writing a novel, lots of fans were super excited about it. Though I don’t subscribe to the opinion that everything he touches turns to gold, I am a del Toro fan, and find all of his films imaginative, if not enjoyable. Though […]
This new comic book day, we’ve got something a little different for you – an interview you have to read instead of listen to! Novelist/comic writer/awesome dude Gregg Hurwitz has been on the show before, and we talked about all manner of cool goodness, including Vengeance of the Moon Knight, his new novel Trust No […]
When was the last time you saw a children’s novel that had a cover like this? Skulduggery Pleasant: Mortal Coil is due out this September in jolly ol’ England. If you haven’t been reading this series, read my reviews for books three and four…and just buy the damn books. Thank me later. Image from writer […]
I’m not a fan of novels that flaunt their influences, particularly when I’m familiar with the influences in question. It’s like paying to see a new band and discovering only after the set begins that you’re watching a cover band. The music may be competent, but if you wanted to hear those songs, you could […]
