I have a dark and shameful secret that I am going to unload on you all. I remember seeing The Expanse pop up in my suggestions on Netflix, and thinking “that sounds like the kind of show I would like.” It was (good job Netflix!). The cast was great, the story was engaging and the effects were cool. A few […]
I remember watching Wayward Pines a few years ago. In fact, I remember it very well as I enjoyed the hell out of it. It took Blake Crouch out of “just another author tin he library” status to my dreaded TBR. This in no way means a book will ever be read, so it required getting a discarded copy from […]
The author kindly gave me a copy of Cast in Sand and Whalemoon (which I reviewed here) on audio. I’ll talk a little about both here. I like to try out new (for me) authors, including self-published ones. Many I’ve already heard of through social media, but Dustin Porta I just found through Audiobook.boom. It turned out to be a […]
While poking through Netgalley one day, I noticed this book. It was published by 47 North, which is Amazon’s spec-fiction publishing arm, and I’ve had good experiences with their publications in the past (Jeff Wheeler, Craig Schaefer, Mitchell Hogan and so forth), so I thought I’d give it a blast. There was one caveat – while I had heard plenty […]
Format: Downloadable audiobookObtained from: Library (support your public library people)Listening time: 15 hours 45 minutesPublisher: Harper AudioISBN: 9780062956644Narrator: Zachary Quinto I was thinking as I mulled over writing this that like his father, it had been a while since I’d read any Joe Hill (Horns a few years ago). Of course, seeing as I got hit in the head a […]
I received a free uncorrected proof from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. The world has changed. Humans once dominated the globe, now we live huddled in walled towns, afraid of the outside world where everything is dangerous. Koli is one such human. He has the same miniscule dreams of everyone else, then he finds a piece of old […]
In a not too distant future, Google has taken over the world. Hang on, Babel has taken over Google and taken over the world. Their secret (other than immense wealth)? A substance called Nyxia, found on an alien planet, which can be manipulated to do almost anything. Emmett Atwater, a poor kid from Detroit, is chosen to go to said […]
I received a free copy from Netgalley with the option of giving an honest review. All my opinions are my own. With Horrorstör by Grady Hendrix coming out a couple of years ago, Finna isn’t the first speculative fiction stab at Ikea. However, in many ways, it might be more original. The story tells of Ava and Jules, formerly romantically […]
I received a free ARC from the publisher in exchange for an honest review. This in no way impacts my opinion. I seem to be on an apocalyptic – post or otherwise – bent recently with, The Book of Koli my last read and now Laura Lam’s Goldilocks. Both featured climate change as the major world-dooming feature, but while “Koli” […]
I received a free ARC from the author in return for an honest review. This in now way impacts my opinion. I’ve been enjoying this series so far. The basic premise revolves around the people of earth discovering an alien technology that allows them to travel to different forms of earth that have deviated somewhere from the timeline of our […]
