Now and then Geek Native will cover a geeky bundle deal when it’s a good one. Step forward The Bundle of Holding.

Glass Thorns: Elsewhens review
Glass Thorns: Elsewhens is the sequel to Glass Thorns: Touchstone and is equally a frustrating book to review. Why? It’s a carefully slow book but it’s clearly building up a grand and complex plot. It’s all gut feeling but I sense Melanie Rawn, an experienced writer, doesn’t want to try and spin a trilogy into […]
Sherlock Holmes: The Breath of God review
What’s this? A book featuring Sherlock Holmes, arguably the world’s greatest detective (unless you count Danger Mouse1) and the supernatural? How could this work, and should it even be attempted?

Mann was a good person to ask as he did the hard work and edited the anthology The Encounters of Sherlock Holmes which is a collection of stories about the great detective from steampunk, horror and assorted authors. […]

Wizards without Coats: Orb of Gates
This seems out of place… and yet oddly familiar. Perhaps the Wizards without Coats will know what’s going on.
