The idea for this came to me several months ago, probably during the latest flair up of “indie/self pub is inferior” or something similar, and you may have seen (or want to check out) the similar posts for both fantasy and horror suggestions. The point of which is not to argue, but to highlight some […]

An Intro to Indie Horror For Those Wondering Where to Start
The idea for this came to me several months ago, probably during the latest flair up of “indie/self pub is inferior” or something similar, and you may have seen (or want to check out) where I started with fantasy suggestions.

An Intro to Indie Fantasy For Those Wondering Where to Start
The idea for this came to me several months ago, probably during the latest flair up of “indie/self pub is inferior” or something similar. The point of which is not to argue, but to highlight some writers that are either underrated, or great examples of where to start with indie fantasy. My original idea was […]
Series Spotlight: The Walking Dead by Robert Kirkman, Tony Moore, & Charlie Adlard
For starters, I was not an original reader of the series. I’m not huge on comics typically, and because I like to read a lot, and in chunks, I normally just don’t connect with the shorter form. However, as a huge fan of the show, I decided to give them a go, and I went […]
Series Spotlight: the MEG (1-6)+ by Steve Alten
The majority of these were included free with an audible subscription last year. I had seen the first Meg movie, and I am a huge fan of sharks, so I grabbed these up and decided to give them a listen. I remember countless hours spent just absorbing everything I could during the annual Shark Week, […]
Series Spotlight: The Witcher by Andrzej Sapkowski
The image above is for the beautiful and somewhat new illustrated hardcovers from Orbit Books. Which, unfortunately, I do not own yet, but feel a devastating desire for. The set from the featured image, are those from the paperback Gollancz set (which don’t appear to even be offered on their site anymore), translated by David […]
Series Spotlight: Dexter (#1-8)+ by Jeff Lindsay
I’ll start by saying that I haven’t read these since 2019, however it is one of the series I find myself thinking over the most. I was of the tribe that watched the show first, and honestly at the time, this kind of novel wasn’t really my thing, so hats off to Michael C. Hall’s […]
Series Review: Pillars of Peace by Tom Dumbrell
Wonderful photo borrowed from Natalie @ the.bookish.designer If you’ve yet to see it, please check out my review for A Dagger in the Dark posted yesterday! I have been oscillating between migrating all of my trilogy reviews over to FanFI, or to just do a series review. To be honest, I can’t promise that I […]

The master of American horror has many books available. Here are my top 10!
Series Spotlight: The Inheritance Cycle by Christopher Paolini
Twenty years after Knopf released Eragon, us diehard fans of The Inheritance Cycle received Murtagh. Paolini had talked about a book five on more than one occasion, I think I personally always imagined that it would feature Eragon again, or at least that was my desire. Now, he has said that this was not the […]
A.J.’s Top 10 Reads of 2023
It was hard to narrow down my top reads of the year. For anyone who has followed me on social media or through my blog, you know I read a lot. This year’s total was 70 books, which I think is a record for me. And it was tough to pick only 10. I’m a […]
C. J. Daley’s (CJDsCurrentRead) Top Reads of 2023
Another year gone, another chunk of my TBR entirely ignored while a read an entire set of books that were new to me (for the most part). From finishing the inaugural Indie Ink Awards at the start of the year, to my first year with BBNYA and SFINCS, I’ve pretty much counted anything I wrote […]
