FYI: I've updated my Speculative-Fiction Showcase at bookshop(dot)org based on some of my recent reads. If you're searching for some new books and authors, give these a try!
My latest read: "Death of a Clown" by Catherine McCarthy - See my Goodreads review for details but if you enjoy speculative fiction that fills the heart as much as the mind, this is an experience you don't want to miss!
My latest read: "Badlands" by Gary Kruse - See my Goodreads review for details but if you enjoy crime thrillers with hints of horror and the supernatural, this one's worth a look!
A great reminder that reviews don't have to be super involved and detailed to be effective. By the way, "8" and its story singles now have well over 50 positive ratings on Goodreads from all sorts of readers. Why not give them a try today?
My latest read: "Of Shadows, Stars, and Sabers" from Stars and Sabers Publishing @starsandsabers - See my Goodreads review for details but if you're looking for a smorgasbord of speculative fiction, this one's sure to satisfy!
My latest read: "Pact" by Daniel Lorn - See my Goodreads review for details but if you're in search of a quick horror tale to churn your gut and rattle your brain, this one's worth a look!
My latest read: "A Bleak Remedy" by DS LaLonde - See my Goodreads review for details but if you're looking for a meaty horror novel with a fresh take on vampires, this one's sure to satisfy!
My latest read: "Colossus with a Poison Tongue" by Coy Hall - See my Goodreads review for details but if you're a fan of far-future post-apocalyptic sci-fi stories oozing with vivid depictions of horror and the occult, this one's for you!
My latest read: "One Day All This Will Be Yours" by Adrian Tchaikovsky - See my Goodreads review for details but if you enjoy time-travel stories, or even if you don't, this one's worth a look!
"Cutter's Deep" is my personal favorite but if you like creepy and unsettling horror, you really can't go wrong with any book or story from Ronald McGillvray. As far as I'm concerned, this is an empirical fact. 📚🙂👍
My latest read: "Fleet of Knives" by Gareth L. Powell - See my Goodreads review for details but if you enjoyed "Embers of War" and like yourself some full-blown space opera action and adventure, this one's definitely worth a look!
If you're looking for something to read, this quiz seems pretty decent. It ostensibly uses #AI to recommend a list of 10 books you might like, based on your answers to some simple questions: buzzfeed.com/aglover/ai-book-q
