Continuing the theme from last week of "authors I only discovered in the last year", this week's review is the author of one of my 2021...

Slewfoot - Brom

Terror in the Trench - Jay Alexander
The ocean is one of the most terrifying real life things out there. Whether it's the unnerving creatures that have evolved to live at...
White is for Witching - Helen Oyeyemi
Some people like their art and their literature abstract, filled with metaphor and suggestion. I wish I could tell you that I was one of...
Ruin and Wrath - John Gwynne
It’s an unusual review this week, in that I’m reviewing two books in one. Ruin and Wrath are the third and fourth books in Gwynne’s The...
Jade City - Fonda Lee

Nophek Gloss - Essa Hansen

Illborn - Daniel T Jackson
It's not often I give into peer pressure. I don't tend to be swayed by hype, and I don't usually have an interest in what the current...
Fighting for Space - Amy Shira Teitel
I have a fair bit in common with my Dad. We like similar music, he used to climb too, and increasingly over the years, we're sharing a...
Dead Silence - S. A. Barnes
Alright so I have finally managed it. I actually managed to get the timing right on a Ladies of Horror Fiction Readalong. I've been too...
Malice - John Gwynne
