About Charles Phipps

C.T. Phipps is a reviewer of sci-fi, urban fantasy, and superheroes. He loves when all three of them verge into the world of horror but not completely that genre. C.T. is the author of the United States of Monsters, Futurepunk, Cthulhu Armageddon, Space Academy, and Supervillainy Saga series. He is probably not a vampire. Probably. If you want to know his favorite video games, they're Dragon Age, Fallout, Bloodlines, and Mass Effect.
