Book Review: Disquiet Gods by Christopher Ruocchio

4.5/5 stars. The penultimate book of the Sun Eater series. The story was well-done overall. It was nice to revisit some characters from previous books and return to Vorgossos. See my full review in the pics. (Some spoilers noted.)

Book Review: The Blackfire Blade by James Logan

4/5 stars. I have to be honest. The first 1/3 was a real struggle for me. However, I wanted to push through this @NetGalley eARC and I am glad that I did. The last 2/3 of this story was excellent! See full review in pics.

5/5 stars. It is so great to be back with Vonvalt and Bressinger. I didn’t realize how much I missed them until I started reading this. Thanks to Grimdark Magazine and Richard Swan for creating this novella. I hope there are more to come! Just so good! Highly recommended.

5/5 stars. This book is a literary masterpiece masquerading as a horror novel! Stephen Graham Jones is a talented writer and can tell a story. I cannot recommend this book highly enough to fans of both horror & historical fiction. Audiobook is also excellent. Full review in pics.

Uzumaki by Junji Ito

5/5 stars. Horror manga from the master of the genre. This story follows Kirie and her boyfriend Shuichi as the town they live in becomes overtaken with spirals - people are psychologically and physically affected. What can they do to stop it? Excellent! Highly recommended!
