Glass Thorns: Touchstone is the first in a series by established writer Melanie Rawn. It’s an interesting book to review. More on that later. Touchstone is set in a high fantasy world not terribly long after a terrible magical war. On the surface it seems like quite a cheery world now but scratch below the […]

The Company of the Dead review
Depending how your festive period went and perhaps how much liquid lubrication was involved in your Hogmanay celebrations; time travel may sound like a good idea. However, changing even a small event can have serious unforeseen consequences, so what would be the effect of saving the Titanic? This is the premise for the “The company […]
Resident Evil: Code Veronica
S.D. Perry, author of a supporting host of Res Evil books, first published Code: Veronica in 2001. Titan re-released the book in December 2012. Fancy that; a novel of a horror computer game getting published more than ten years after it first saw print. That says a lot. I’ve asked around and the consensus seems […]
Shadows of Esteren review: Fantasy done darkly
Shadows of Esteren first appeared on my radar when it smashed its Kickstarter campaign to get translated into English. I scratch my head because I do not believe I backed the campaign but even at this stage the game oozed quality. Let’s face it; grim fantasy games are hard to do well. Even at the […]
Resident Evil: Nemesis
S.D. Perry’s novel of the third Resident Evil game – Resident Evil: Nemesis, the fifth book in the franchise, first came out in the year 2000. Nearly 13 years later and it’s back in print, in fact, Amazon UK only has a few copies left. No doubt the recent movie is partly due to the […]
Archeologists Of Shadows, Volume 1: The Resistance
Septagon Studios is home to a rather interesting graphic novel. Archeologists Of Shadows is a successful blend of drawing, photography and digital painting. That’s not all; there’s photo manipulation and even sculpture. The result is impressive. There’s plenty of examples of the style in this review, even a small gallery at the end of the […]
Kuro review
It’s rare for me to be as excited about a RPG when it is initially announced as I was about Kuro. The promise of Japanese style horror blended darkly into a cyberpunk aesthetic was a strong one. From the outset, Kuro had an expectations battle for this review – I was expecting a lot from […]
Supercrooks hardcover review
Supercrooks is a four part comic series from Mark Millar. There’s already a movie on the way. In the hardcover edition all four are put together in a single book and it’s a fantastic way to dive into the clever story. As the name suggests – Supercrooks follows a band of super powered villains. They’re […]
Not Flesh Nor Feathers review
Not Flesh Nor Feathers is the third Eden Moore story from Cherie Priest. We’ve interviewed Priest before for her vampire Cheshire Red series and it does feel like she is an author in touch with her fans. Eden Moore is a medium who seems torn between wanting to lead a normal as life as possible […]
