The last straw was that plant. That little fucking plant. I don't remember what it was, only that it was supposed to be hard to kill, even for me. She'd said it in a joking way when she gave it to me, and I knew, logically, she didn't mean anything by it. Not really. But... Continue Reading →
Book Review: The House of Little Bones by Beverley Lee
The House of Little Bones is an atmospheric gothic tale that begs to be read in one sitting. Set on the edge of a desolate moor, we follow author David Lansdown as he flees from his fall from grace, his scorned lover, Luca, and the legend of Bone Hollow. I adored this book. It manages...

Book Review: Anoka by Shane Hawk
A promising collection of short stories that intertwines the real life difficulties and prejudices faced by Native Americans with the supernatural. Author Shane Hawk has a good command of imagery that will draw you in and keep you engaged. My particular favorite was "Dead America". You'll want to wear ear plugs when you go to...

Theirs is a tale of devotion, both to their goddess and to each... Continue Reading →
