Author of dark things – thrilling novels and haunting stories
Very occasionally I'll have a browse through Amazon's pile of old classics. They're all free to download these days, so whenever I find myself between books or not knowing just what I want to throw myself at, I'll have a gander at the old big ones, and see if anything jumps out at me. That's... Continue Reading →
The most incredible science fiction book I've ever read. Hyperion is one of those books that I feel like I've heard of my whole life, but never really known anything about. If you've followed this blog for a while, you've probably seen me say that before. It's the same with Dan Simmons. If I heard... Continue Reading →
This, was, great! I hadn't heard about Robert White or any of his books before I came across this on Audible. I don't know if it was a sale or if it was just my credits piling up, but for some reason this book intrigued me and I jumped at the chance. Who doesn't love... Continue Reading →
Perhaps the best story ever written! It started at some point in the mid-2000s, when a friend of mine first introduced me to anime.

I finally got around to reading it!Back in 2019-2020 this book was the only one anyone ever read, by the sounds of it.

I think I've mentioned in every review of the three other kickstarter projects so far, that I was not well-versed in Sanderson's writing and his many, many universes. I'd read Skyward (my...

This is the kind of book that I love reading, even though I can't tell you a single thing about it when I'm done. I recently discovered Bill Bryson and his writing a few years ago, and since then I've really enjoyed reading books that aim to teach you stuff. I love watching documentaries, and...

Stop This Game is an honest, heartfelt and brutal book about living with bipolar disorder. Jaka Tomc is a Solvenian author and poet. I first heard about him on Twitter, years ago, and I've read a few of his books before. What I never knew was that he has struggled with bipolar disorder for nearly... Continue Reading →
The most successful kickstarter ever delivers again! I mostly knew Sanderson by rumor when I pledged to his insanely successful kickstarter. I had read the first Skyward book and was working on the first in the Mistborn series, and figured getting four mysterious ebooks over the course of a year sounded like a very fun...
