Thrilling books and gripping stories, all in one place.
The end has finally come. The Faithful and The Fallen, the epic quadrilogy is over. In one sense I wish there was more of this, because I loved it so much.

This is, by far(!), the most original story I've read in ages. It's amazing - so brilliantly written, so unique - it's The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy meets a steampunk version of The Hobbit. In this first book in the series, we meet Thomas Senlin and his new wife, who are going on their... Continue Reading →
I like reading horror - yet I rarely find it scares me. It's a weird kind of irony, I know. Pet Sematary was never on my radar, but it was suggested to me on Twitter once when I asked what book scared people the most. A lot of people voted for Pet Sematary - and... Continue Reading →
