Mark Hodder’s debut novel is a Victorian steampunk history mashup. I’m always slightly cautious of historical mashups; surely real life heroes can’t be as interesting as fictional ones or what if you don’t like the treatment someone is given? At a glance The Strange Affair of Spring-Heeled Jack is taking a risk. Just look at […]

The most successful sci-fi series of all time
Perry Rhodan is the most successful sci-fi book series of all time. The space opera has sold over one billion copies. Heard of it? The series was created by K. H.

Avatar: Collector’s Vault 3D is the perfect Christmas present
Avatar: Collector’s Vault 3D is more than a book. Sure, it’s classed as a book but the hardback comes in a cardboard box sleeve, comes with 3D glasses, comes with pull-outs and cards. It is a fully 3D book; not just because you can use the glasses to turn the pictures into semi-3D images but […]
Hentai Harry Potter euphemisms puns
“If you open up your chamber of secrets…” Oh dear. I suspect some searchers will be coming to this post only to be disappointed. The clue was in the words “euphemisms” and “puns” (although, really, there’s only one of each). Hey, I could have added the word “picture” to the title but that would have […]
Top cow shares Angelus with DriveThru Comics
The famous Witchblade comic series from Top Cow is already available at OneBookShelf’s DriveThru Comics and so it perhaps makes sense that the spinoff series Angelus should also make an appearance. Angelus follows the one-time Witchblade wearer Danielle Baptiste after she has become the Angelus – that’s the human bearer of the prime force of […]

Betrayal at Falador review
Betrayal at Falador is the first official RuneScape novel. Jagex are doing great things with the brand and extending the reach of the game via the fantasy novel route only makes sense to me. The novel is by T.S. Church and published by Titan Books. While Betrayal at Falador is the first RuneScape novel it […]
