Rather disappointed in this one. Though there were some good stories towards the end, the "New Hope" and "Empire Strikes Back" versions were way better.

So far this is very clever, equally dense, and giving our world some serious literary side eye.

By taking a different perspective (in more ways than one) and letting you use zombies as personal assistants, the survival game "Welcome To ParadiZe" manages to set itself apart from similar games. How? For that, you need to read my review.

In his science fiction novel "RJ The Astronaut," a stranded astronaut has a conversation with what may or may not be God. But as author Jon Turney says in this exclusive interview, "RJ" is a sci-fi novel about faith, not a faith-based novel.

If I didn't know better, I'd think this crazy, weird story was inspired by one of the later #SaintsRow games. Y'know, one of the good ones. And yes, it was that much fun.

Given that this is his only #poetry collection translated into English, I really wish it was "Complete" instead of "Collected." But I'll take what I can get.
