Having roomed with them in college, I can tell this for a fact: Neither Godzilla nor King Kong have ever taken a shit as big as "Godzilla X Kong: The New Empire." Here's the link to my review.

Normally, I'm against the "throw it all away" approach to life. But in my exclusive interview with author Danielle Ackley-McPhail, she explains how her new steampunk short story collection "Echoes Of The Divine" is comprised of stories that were "just sitting around cluttering up my hard drive."

I'd say something like, "I'm not sure what to make of this," but then, it's not a Mark Leyner story if you know what to make of it this early on.

Kind of petered out at the end, but before that it was really good.

A really interesting and engaging post economic / environmental collapse noir-ish murder mystery — and as intricate and smart as that description implies.

Before the Internet, kids used to hang out and skate. It's in this mythical time that we find David Agranoff's skate punk horror novel "People's Park," which he discusses in this exclusive interview.

Very different from the first, but also not. And also just as compelling / interesting / inventive. Good stuff.

His first new book in 20 years, and if the first dozen pages are any indication, he hasn't lost his poetic mojo.

Not my favorite book of hers, not by a long shot, but even so, it has some good stuff.

Unsurprisingly (given that I've read other books of hers), this was an impressive first half of this epic tale. On to the second.

While the third-person, open world, action/adventure game "Rise Of The Ronin" is rather similar to "Ghost Of Tsushima," it's also rather different, and in some interesting (and, also, terrible) ways. Here's the link to my review:

While there's corporate malfeasance at play in writer L.M. Sagas' new sci-fi space opera horror thriller novel "Cascade Failure," in my exclusive interview with her, she says she's also "...trying to inject a little ... optimism back into it."

Though not one of the better novels, or even one of the better novels, it was still rather eventful, and for that it was interesting.
