Super freaky and disturbing, but in a way that was compelling...and probably not the best book to read during lunch.

In my new interview with author Wen Spencer, she talks about how her new urban fantasy novel "Storm Furies" — the seventh in her "Elfhome" series — was originally the back half of her previous novel, "Harbinger."

very, very interesting so far, especially the more narrative ones.

Is she black? Is she Indian? Hey, Donald Schmuck, all I care about is that she's not you. That she's smart, fair, and compassionate, and not a selfish, self-centered idiot who wants to be a dictator but is only ever going to be a dick.

Only 40 pages were new (the rest was from other books I've already read), but it was still totally worth it.

Really enjoyed the personal ones, especially the titular one.

While we've all heard stories about the Greek and Roman gods, we've heard far less about the Yoruba ones. It's something author Michael J. DeLuca is hoping to rectify with his surrealist fantasy novel "The Jaguar Mask," which you can learn more about in this exclusive interview.
