BOOK #68, 2025
THE THING IN THE SNOW, by Sean Adams (2023)
Satirical look at workplace insanity. Within an all but abandoned building, employees perform menial tasks until a mysterious ‘thing’ appears.
As it turns out, the REAL ‘thing in the snow’ was the friends we made along the way.

THE MARTIAN WAR, by Kevin J. Anderson (2012)
An enjoyable H.G. Wells pastiche. Mixing in characters & events from Wells’ works, Anderson uses Wells himself as point man in humanity’s first contact with aliens. It’s a fun romp, with an emphasis on Wells’ more fantastical sci-fi ideas.

A SPINDLE SPLINTERED, by Alix E. Harrow (2021)
Lovely deconstruction/reconstruction of fairy tale mythos. Harrow twists the misogynistic tropes behind the legend to suit her noble needs. A great tale, with wonderful characters and fine, nay, ENCHANTING style.

THE PREDATOR, by Christopher Golden (2018)
Cookie-cutter novelization that highlights the movie’s failings. The movie smooths out its inconsistencies through charismatic actors & enjoyable action; lacking that, this lands with a thud, particularly in the lengthy ending.

FAIRY TALE, by Stephen King (2022)
Expansive, immersive, overlong fantasy. As refreshingly earnest as it is, the story is too slight for its length; scenes are great but the full work crumbles. Still worthwhile, a gateway read to King’s grimmer DARK TOWERs.

THE Z WORD, by Lindsay King-Miller (2024)
