Best Reads 2017
Hey all! It’s time again for my rundown of my favorite reads of the year. As always, these aren’t books that were necessarily published within the calendar year; a couple of them are twenty years old or more, and I … Continue reading
Best Reads 2016
It’s time for my year-end wrap-up! Slightly late, alas, as it is now the new year, but then I tend to be late in most things. As always, these (generally) aren’t books that were published in 2016, since I make … Continue reading
Recent Reading: The Southern Reach Trilogy
It’s been a while since I’ve written a review, and to be honest, what I want to say about the Southern Reach trilogy, by Jeff Vandermeer, isn’t really review-like. These books weren’t my favorite of all time or anything (they … Continue reading
Best Reads 2015
Time again for the year-end wrap-up. As always, the books I highlight weren’t necessarily published in 2015, because I don’t make any great effort to read new books; I have an endless backlog, so I get to things when I … Continue reading

Recent Reading: Empire in Black and Gold, Professor Moriarty: The Hound of the D’Urbervilles
Since I have nothing to say again about this week’s Tough Traveling, I shall go through my most recent reading! This time I have two four-star books, though both come with caveats.
Influences: Pulse (and other Supernatural Horror)
I haven’t done an Influences post in a while, which is weird because I’d yet to talk about one of my biggest influences: supernatural horror. I may present mostly the superficial fantasy trappings on this blog, but my dreams get … Continue reading
Recent Reading: Stray Souls, Johannes Cabal: The Detective
I don’t read very quickly anymore. I used to be able to devour a book within a few sittings, sometimes devoting all my spare time across a day or two to it. Now, what with the day job (part-time though … Continue reading
