Graphic Novel Review: Lonely Receiver by AfterShock Comics
“Lonely Receiver,” written by Zac Thompson and illustrated by Jen Hickman, published by AfterShock Comics, simply blew me away. It’s exactly the perfect horror breakup story for our times, a modern, edgy sparkplug of bizarro in a storytelling format uniquely suited to comics. The story follows Catrin Vander, a lonely video producer whose job isContinue reading “Graphic Novel Review: Lonely Receiver by AfterShock Comics”
Graphic Novel Review: Adler by Titan Comics
“Adler” by Lavie Tidhar, illustrated by Paul McCaffrey, published by Titan Comics, promised a League of Extraordinary Gentlewomen from science and history, and on that front, it delivered. It had me at that premise, so I can’t fault it for expecting any less. But this book belongs to a new genre that I would callContinue reading “Graphic Novel Review: Adler by Titan Comics”
Graphic Novel Review: The Vain
I was drawn in by the drop-dead gorgeous cover art and the rest of the book did not disappoint. “The Vain,” published by Oni Press, is a wonderful noir thriller about a gang of vampires and the FBI agent who spends a lifetime chasing ghosts. The gang calls themselves “The Vain,” a crew of incrediblyContinue reading “Graphic Novel Review: The Vain”
Book Review: Hollow Road by Dan Fitzgerald
A fast-paced buddy fantasy quest adventure; multidimensional female characters; and an intriguing species called the Maer that throws the traditional high-fantasy villain on its head. These were a few of the highlights that brought me to give “Hollow Road” by Dan Fitzgerald, published by Shadow Spark Publishing, high marks. In Book One of the MaerContinue reading “Book Review: Hollow Road by Dan Fitzgerald”
Short Fiction: Names Have Power
The coffee had grown cold in her cup, but she drank it anyway, grimacing at the lukewarm taste. Mystic was the name she had chosen for herself for this group. Mystic Seaborne. It was silly, so silly. She thought they were a roleplay group, but she wasn’t sure what they were about, really. She wasContinue reading “Short Fiction: Names Have Power”
Graphic Novel Review: Pirouette by Black Mask Studios, LLC
“Pirouette,” published by Black Mask Studios, LLC, is an understated little gem of a book about a girl named Pirouette and the two-faced clowns who raise her in a shabby old-timey circus. Clowns and circuses are fertile ground for fright, as well as beautiful art. This was a lovely book, light on story and heavyContinue reading “Graphic Novel Review: Pirouette by Black Mask Studios, LLC”
Graphic Novel Review: Odessa by Jonathan Hill
I haven’t blogged in so long! I haven’t been writing much so I don’t have much to report on my writing process. I plan to change up my reviews to only review graphic novels and indie books on this blog, and quick recaps of all books on my Goodreads. I am trying to read moreContinue reading “Graphic Novel Review: Odessa by Jonathan Hill”
Spring is coming
Not much to say these days about my creative projects as I haven’t finished as much in February as I had planned, but I’m doing a monthly post to update my progress and check in with my goals anyway. This last December, January and February were slow creatively. I have gotten a very slow startContinue reading “Spring is coming”
Book Review: “A Memory Called Empire” by Arkady Martine
“A Memory Called Empire” by Arkady Martine, last year’s Hugo winner, is well worth its regard. It is the first book of the Teixcalalaan series, a cyberpunk and space opera universe inspired by many cultures, including the Byzantines, the Romans and the Aztecs. The second book comes out in a few months. The book followsContinue reading “Book Review: “A Memory Called Empire” by Arkady Martine”
