Yet another poet I "discovered" in "The New Yorker," only to find out they've been around for years and have many books.

Super good collection of , especially the long one towards the end, "The Wind And More."

In my exclusive interview with author Suzan Palumbo about her short story collection "Skin Thief," she talks about how her writing so much about "queer women who were shapeshifters" made her wonder if she's "working out some unresolved issues."

Excited to start this series. First up, this gripping prequel story.

If, as they say, you should write what you know, someone should check on writer Naben Ruthnum, since his new novel, "The Grimmer," is a YA horror story about a "...demonic resurrectionist body-snatcher." To find out more, check out this exclusive Q&A.

Well, that was very clever and energetic, and also rather delightful. His most delightful book, actually. Must be the cats.

Always love — like his epic "Bettina Coffin," and the beginning of this book — that seem like they'd be super cool to hear read out loud.

Having written two YA novels, author Ava Morgyn is getting more adult with her Gothic urban fantasy horror mystery romance novel "The Witches Of Bone Hill." To find out why, and how (and also, doggies!), check out this exclusive interview.

So far this is entertaining in a very Scalzi way, though it's giving me some Grady Hendrix vibes as well.

Wasn't expecting it to veer from to a big picture story, but I'm glad it did.

As I suspected after reading the first 20 pages, this WAS as interesting and unflinching as the other book of hers I read, " Romance Or The End."

Thanks to some different mechanics and approaches, 🧟 "Separate Ways" is a short but sweet add-on for "Resident Evil 4." 🧟‍♂️Here's the link to my review:

So far this is as engaging and clever as the first book in this series.

Some writers are influenced by video games. Some by anime. Still others by Tori Amos. But for all three, and more, you have to go to David Edison, author of the sci-fi space Opera epic fantasy mash-up novel "Sandymancer." To do so, check out this exclusive interview.
