Worldbuilding is a crucial element of all storytelling. And I don’t just refer to speculative fiction’s building of worlds unknown, but rather to the space the novel’s characters inhabit, be it familiar or unfamiliar. The worldbuilding elements tell us about not just about our characters’ environment, but how they react to the space, how it […]

Review: The Liar of Red Valley by Walter Goodwater
(The Liar of Red Valley) is a fantastic book full of magic creatures, cool magic and fast-paced plot. While I didn’t get behind some of the side characters, that in itself can play into a massive plot twist that I’m sure no one will see coming. However, it is a shorter book than I’d have liked so saves on going too in-depth. I believe it’s a stylistic choice that all of the magic creatures aren’t described because the human eye can’t behold, the human mind can’t decipher, what they are but it sometimes left a blank space in my imagination with it. However, it was a cool way to deal with beings we simply wouldn’t know how to describe and leaves an original twist on what their appearances might be in that everyone reading will see something different.

Review & Interview – Slewfoot: A Tale of Bewitchery by Brom
Slewfoot is an intriguing horror story that is both extremely unsettling and utterly satisfying. It is both a tale of finding oneself and pure, unadulterated vengeance. It is both exactly and not even close to what I was expecting upon completion, and I thoroughly enjoyed my gateway drug to Brom’s library.
Guest Post: The Romans in Seven Deaths by G.R. Matthews
Okay, I’m going to be honest right out of the gate, and to spare all our blushes (especially mine) – I’m not a trained or qualified historian. My sole qualification in this area is a GCSE in History, which was all Modern History (WW1 to WW2, if I remember correctly) and therefore far too recent […]
