Review: The Fall of Cadia by Robert Rath

Frasier’s Favourites of 2024
2024 has been a monster year for SFF. From indie fungalpunk-noir (like Mushroom Blues by Adrian M. Gibson) to brand new epic fantasy series (The Gods Below by Andrea M. Gibson) to time-loop romances (A Quantum Love Story by Mike Chen) to fantasy-creature-compendium-encyclopaedias (Loreland Bestiaries by Hope Christofferson) and innovative weird fiction that I still can’t fully describe (Three Eight […]
Review: The Malevolent Seven by Sebastien De Castell
Synopsis: Picture a wizard. Go ahead, close your eyes. There he is, see? Skinny old guy with a long straggly beard. The hat’s a must, too, right? Big, floppy thing.

First, some months had multiple books with a high rating and it was difficult to just choose one winner. Second, some months […]

Dissecting The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim
The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim First and foremost, I want it to be understood that this is not so much a review as it is my attempt to dissect the good and bad of the latest entry into the world of Tolkien. With that being said, any or all of […]
Darby’s Best Comic Books And Graphic Novels Of 2024
After what has seemed like momentary stagnation, comic books and graphic novels reflected a turbulent, erratic year with vital, innovative, diverse stories. From superheroes to fantasy landscapes in the backyard or someone’s mind – or both – comics like Absolute Batman took big chances and delivered in big ways for readers. My biggest regret in […]
