Author of dark things – thrilling novels and haunting stories
Incredibly sad news this weekend - Dan Simmons, author of one of the most incredible science fiction book ever, has passed. Hyperion is one of those books that I felt like I heard about all my life, but never really knew anything about. If you've followed this blog for a while, you've probably seen me...

I've just had the most saddest news! After nearly four years in print, my short story They Came From Nowhere will be taken off the shelves at the end of February, 2025. They Came From Nowhere was first published back in 2021, in an anthology titled CONTACT, released by Black Hare Press. CONTACT was part... Continue Reading →

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. I read Skyward first and I recently finished the first installment in the Mistborn series. Both great fantasy/science fiction books that I'd recommend to any... Continue Reading →
One of the fathers of modern science fiction - and a definite must-read! When I started this I was worried I would find it much the same way I found Dune - boring and overlong - but this was the complete opposite. Every part of this novel made me want to keep on reading, keep... Continue Reading →
I've got a new favorite type of science fiction, and it's whatever Andy Weir writes! I never read the Martian. I never read a lot of things, but I never read the Martian either. I saw the movie though, and I liked it enough to remember Andy Weir's name when I saw Project Hail Mary... Continue Reading →
