Review: Zombie Youth: Book 2: Borrowed Time by H.E.Goodhue
October 17, 2014Zombie Youth: Borrowed Time is a masterful example of the way a work can defy target audience and genre: a true crossover for fans of horror, armageddon, and coming of age (with zombies). By intertwining several survival factions, each with a predictable agenda and hierarchy, Goodhue realistically emphasizes the strengths and shortcomings of several generations. Thus, […]

Review: Blood of My World by A.P. Fuchs
October 7, 2014I’m not the biggest fan of paranormal romance, especially with the release of books such as The Vampire Diaries and the Twilight series (which I do not consider horror). However I was intrigued by a YA novella trilogy by A.P. Fuchs who is perhaps best known for writing about zombies. Blood of My World consists of three novellas—Discovery of Death, Memories of Death, […]

Review: Spike: Shadow Puppets
September 19, 2014Buffy and Angel fans know they can depend on their series to be hilarious, yet innovative and poignant. One of the episodes proving this point is “Smile Time” where Angel is turned into a puppet by a nest of demonic puppets feeding off their children viewers. This episode proves to be hilarious and yet maintain […]
Review: Angel: Spotlight
September 16, 2014A side book in the Angel-verse this volume contains tales of Illyria (very emotional with a complexity of character that most stories wish they had), Gunn (very fun and action packed), Wesley (a sad story given what fans know that the Wes in the story doesn’t), Doyle (showing why he sought out Angel, sparking the […]
