Hemlock & Silver is a great retelling, unique in its approach, with stellar characters and a fun adventure narrative at its core. Anja was one of my favourite characters that I’ve been on a journey with this year!

Review: Lucky Day by Chuck Tingle
Lucky Day is a spectacularly crazy book, one that is both incredibly fun to read, deeply questioning and thought provoking, joyous in its celebration of the meaning of living, defiant in the face of everything that’s wrong with the world, society, and inspiring in its ultimate message.
Review: Angel Down by Daniel Kraus
Angel Down is a disorientating book, unapologetically so, and it’s a masterful, skilfully crafted, beautifully destructive novel, delightful to experience in a way that drains you but satisfies your inner desire to pursue perfect art.

The Buffalo Hunter Hunter is a masterwork of revenge fiction, coated with one of the most original spins on the vampire I’ve ever experienced. It’s going to be remembered as a classic!
Review: Grave Empire (The Great Silence #1) by Richard Swan
This is a brilliant beginning to a new horror fantasy trilogy that I really hope catches on, as I’d love to see more overt horror in the fantasy genre. Grave Empire rules, and you need to read it right now!
Review: Rest Stop by Nat Cassidy
Rest Stop is like the best A24 movie in novella format, a story crying out for a screen adaption, and frankly, a super exciting literal edge-of-your-seat scream of a tale. I can’t wait to read more Nat Cassidy!
Review: The Poorly Made & Other Things by Sam Rebelein
A collection of stories that create a new legend, a folkloric telling of stories that build the horror that is Renfield County. And a riveting read from start to finish!
Review: So Thirsty by Rachel Harrison
Let yourself be swept away by the characters, the message, the words between the words, and the reflective nature of this books closing few pages. I can’t wait to read more of Harrison’s works. If they make think and feel as much as this one did, then I may have found a new favourite author.
