Book Review: One Hand to Hold, One Hand to Carve by M. Shaw

What an exquisitely strange type of horror. Shaw has created something delightfully strange and haunting with this novella - as it starts off with two halves of a corpse waking up together in a morgue.

Book Review: Tress Of The Emerald Sea by Brandon Sanderson

Not only the most successful kickstarter ever - also the best Sanderson book I've ever read. Okay - first things first, I've only read three and that's including this one.

Book Review: Dorylaeum by Bryan R. Saye

The second book in The Crusader Chronicles book and what a sequel it is! When I read Saye's first book in the series, Storm of War, I remember being surprised by how captivating the story way.
