Sometimes I’m just in the mood for a dark, nitty-gritty UF. I can always count on Yasmine Galenorn to give me a dark and gritty story, and her latest novella, Flight from Hell did not disappoint.

Bringing more investigation into her latest installment of The Disenchanted & Co. steampunk series, Lynn Viehl creates a delightful story with The Clockwork Wolf. Romance takes a back seat to the intrigue and adventure, creating an all around amusing tale. Doing a favor for deathmage Lucien Dredmore, Kit agrees to interview […]

While short, Matt Sheehan creates an alternate reality which is neither pretentious nor overly complicated. Sheehan delivers a fast paced read that never delivers a dull moment. My name is Helmut Haase and […]
