REVIEW: Kingdoms of Death by Christopher Ruocchio
Startlingly bleak, full of torture, and gorgeous prose interlining the book like silver thread, Kingdoms of Death moves beyond simple darkness and into the black, cold void of space.

REVIEW: The Kinslayer by S.K. Putt
The Kinslayer is a grim, poetic, and tightly written saga that rewards careful reading. Fans of Norse fantasy and gritty, character-driven epics will find much to admire here.

The Guardian asked me and a bunch of amazing horror authors about the stories that scared us the most. I love any opportunity I’m able to talk about THE AUCTIONEER by Joan Samson.

REVIEW: Kill the Beast by Serra Swift
As far as debuts go, Swift’s Kill the Beast was a pretty good one. It’s not as dark as the comparison to The Witcher had suggested, but the plot was strong and it was a story I enjoyed.

REVIEW: ETHOS: A Dark Fantasy Anthology by The Arcanist Guild
It’s almost expected to start a review of an anthology with the caveat that ‘it’s a mixed bag of hits and misses’, but sentiment definitely doesn’t hold true for ETHOS.

Red City is a masterclass in urban fantasy.
REVIEW: Red City by Marie Lu
Red City is a masterclass in urban fantasy. A high-stakes and just downright cool fantasy, built on such emotional gravitas, it deserves all the praise, and more.
