A review of Shadows Over Innsmouth
I think anthologies have become my favourite book to read while I’m travelling. It’s not just because you get a variety of styles to enjoy but because the shorter stories held within are often better structured for reading in fragments. Shadows Over Innsmouth is one hellishly good collection. Authors include Kim Newman, Ramsey Campbell and […]

A review of The First Kingdom: Birth of Tundran
This is a classic. The First Kingdom was first published back in 1974, ran for over a thousand pages and finished three years later. The series is written and illustrated by Jack Katz and it’s a compelling style. Katz draws in tightly knit back and white, it’s a dense style that must have taken ages […]
