When approached with the Worldweavers series by Alma Alexander, I was rather excited to start reading them as the world sounded super exciting. Who knew you’d be a true weaver? Great things have been expected of Thea, the seventh child of two seventh children. Now, with Cheveyo, a mage, Thea […]
I was asked to review At the Gates of Darkness by Raymond Feist, and since I usually enjoy a good fantasy novel and had never read this author, I was anxious to get started. To protect their world from the savage demon hordes, the Black Sorcerer Pug and Midkemia’s clandestine […]
When I first started Literary Escapism, I wrote up a list of recommendations based on what I had read up to that point. Two years and over 200 books later, I think it’s time I updated my list a little, don’t you think? The one thing that hasn’t changed, whatever […]

I received Turnskin from a friend of mine and was looking forward to an interesting diversion. Raised in a remote farming community, Tom Fletcher knows little of his Shifter heritage and less about the dangerous lives that other Shifters lead in the city of Riverside. For Tom the big city […]
Writing as AN Roquelaure, Anne Rice gives us a new erotic fairy tale with The Claiming of Sleeping Beauty. I’ve been in the middle of The Interview with the Vampire for some time now as I couldn’t get past how hard it was to read. The good news, The Claiming […]
I came across this in the children’s section at Barnes & Noble today and I had to get it. Is this not great? Goodnight monsters everywhere, in this parody romp with its own special twist! “Goodnight tomb. Goodnight goon. Goodnight Martians taking over the moon.” It’s bedtime in the cold […]
