Stephen King‘s Full Dark, No Stars is a collection of four long stories. I think Stephen King’s novella offerings are some of his strongest and so Full Dark, No Stars is a book worth paying attention too. The first story, “1922”, is that of a farmer who tries to murder his wife in order to […]

Isaiah Mustafa as Luke Cage in Hero Spice spoof
Marvel call this “The Hero Your Hero Could Smell Like”. I’m sure other people will call it “How Long Can The Old Spice Spoofs Continue For”. I quite like the title “Hero Spice”. Luke Cage (aka Isaiah Mustafa) takes a quick tour of the Avengers Tower. Security is pretty rubbish because he runs intoo M.O.D.O.K., […]
Harry Potter 8
Is Harry Potter 8 being written by JK Rowling? The question is worthy of debate as JK really didn’t do a good job of persuading us there would be no more Harry Potter books in a recent interview with Oprah. In fact, she said; “I could definitely write an eighth, ninth, tenth…I’m not going to […]
The Desert Spear review
The Desert Spear is the second book in the Demon series. I think they’re already calling it the Demon trilogy but let’s not count our chickens until they’ve hatched like demonic drones from the core of the earth. The first in the series is The Painted Man which simply took my breath away. What a […]
Night of the Living Trekkies
Yup. That’s right. They get even more cunning when it comes to the undead mashups. We’ve had Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, Android Karenina, Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter and even Paul is Undead that features the Beatles as zombies. Where can we go from their? The clever publishers (not to mention author Kevin David Anderson […]
Zombies Vs. Unicorns
Here’s another one from Circle of Seven Productions; Zombies Vs. Unicorns. The publishers are running a poll on their microsite where you can vote for either zombies or unicorns. Right now the unicorns are winning. Just. A few votes. So, what about you? Stop sitting on the sidelines and make a choice – zombies or […]
My Best Friend is a Wookiee
Do you use Wookiee or Wookie? At first, I thought the title “My Best Friend is a Wookiee” was an attempt to avoid a lawsuit and help Tony Pacitti write about his Star Wars fandom without the darkside of Lucas Films getting involved. Then I noticed that Wikipedia also uses the double-e spelling: Wookiee, so perhaps […]

King! review
I’m one of those people who like art – a lot – but have no talent in it at all. None. Not a squat. Show me two classics and I’ll struggle to tell you if they were painted by the same artist. So, when I say the art in King! reminds me very much of […]
