Head of Zeus

Review: City of Last Chances by Adrian Tchaikovsky

December 13, 2022 by Tom Bookbeard Leave a Comment

The City of Last Chances, was carved out of granite by an industrial literary automaton. Everything has been precisely placed to full effect. Its demon-powered factories belch black infernal smoke to power the prose as burn you through the pages.

Essex Dogs is a triumphant novel, full of moments, people and ideas that will stick with me for a very long time.

Blog tour & Review: The Children of Gods and Fighting Men (Gael Song #1) by Shauna Lawless

September 1, 2022 by Dan Smith Leave a Comment

The Children of Gods and Fighting Men is a mix of political intrigue, intimate character-work and vast, effective world-building; it was a joy to read and would certainly appeal to those fantasy fans who don’t necessarily need their action upfront and overwhelming, for its pages are etched with rich characters and a complex storyline.

Review: Soul Stealer Graham Masterton

March 6, 2022 by Dan Smith Leave a Comment

Soul Stealer is a horrifying and compelling page-turner that really pushes the edge of the genre and what’s readable; there’s no hiding it, some of the scenes in this book are horror in its most acute form.

Review: Equinox by David Towsey

February 24, 2022 by Eleni A.E. Leave a Comment

Towsey has created a deeply atmospheric and captivating book that brought together the aging inspector Adamat from McClellan’s Powdermage trilogy, the ambience and eerie feel of the tv series The Alienist, as well as that near constant sense of the uncanny present throughout Neil Gaiman’s the Sandman comics. Talk about a right mix huh?

Guest Post: An Introduction to The Dandelion Dynasty by Ken Liu

February 11, 2022 by David W Leave a Comment

Welcome to Dara! This series took up the bulk of my time and creative energy over a ten-year period. I learned a lot about myself as a writer, as a father, as a husband, as a grandchild, as a technologist, as a lawyer, and as a person. I can’t wait to take you and other […]

Review: Disappearance of a Scribe by Dana Stabenow (Eye of Isis #2)

‘Stabenow brings Alexandria’s Hellenistic period to life… She is now as much at home in ancient Egypt as she is in the Alaskan wilderness’ Publishers Weekly ALEXANDRIA, 47 BC.

The Cruel Stars (The Cruel Stars #1) by John Birmingham

January 2, 2022 by Dan Smith Leave a Comment

Combat Intellects, mechs with humans written from a source code, old family dynasties, more advanced tech than you can throw a stick at, and that’s just in the first chapter. It’s a smorgasbord of everything that’s cool about modern science fiction; it’s bonkers in all the right ways. It would definitely suit fans of explosive space battles in series like the Expanse and the body-switching, souls uploaded into chips, and other weird tech of Altered Carbon.

Eleni’s Top Reads of 2021

December 28, 2021 by Eleni A.E. Leave a Comment

Hello as always dear reader or listener,
If you’ve been around me and my writing/tweeting even a tad throughout this past year, odds are you’ve seen me happily ramble about any one of the books or series on this list. I could talk about what I loved from each of these for dayyyys, that is a known fact, but for this post I thought I’d keep it to cover extravaganza and one or two quotes from each. Needless to say that I rec every one of these with eyes closed but if you’re feeling like you need more convincing, I’ll link my reviews (if I’ve written one) with each title, otherwise if you just want a quick chat about them, you know where to find me!

Guest Post: Horror as the Great Misunderstood by A. M. Shine

October 14, 2021 by Dan Smith Leave a Comment

The horror genre has always been haunted by misconceptions. It is, I believe, that crimson jewel hidden amidst the cobwebs and the shadows, discovered by many but not by all. In the realm of literature, it is an exceptionally potent word. Regardless of whether an author has written a ground-breaking coming-of-age novel or the greatest […]
