  • Magic, Death And Snow: My TBR For The Autumn Is Excessive

    At the start of the year, I had a plan. It was a great plan. It involved spending my time reading, snuggling with Dexter, reading, working on my fiction, reading, watching some cool shows, reading… The key detail in this plan is the reading. Alas, 2022 hasn’t quite panned out as I expected it to, and I’ve compiled an epic list of books to read this autumn to compensate.

  • The Surprising Nod To Arthurian Roots In King Arthur: Legend Of The Sword

    Some of the most popular characters from history have no historical basis in fact. King Arthur was not, as far as we are aware, ever a real person. Despite this, many films have been made about Britain’s once and future king. Just how accurate to the early historical period in which Arthur supposedly lived is King Arthur: Legend of the Sword? And how true to the original source material is the plot? We’re about to find out…

  • Look At This Godforsaken Mess That You Made Me… Taylor’s Making Me Want To Write Ruby Again

    Don’t call me 'kid', don’t call me 'baby', look at this godforsaken mess that you made me... so sings Taylor Swift on her new album which is, I have to say, haunting me. The track in question is called 'illicit affair' and while it's by no means the only song on Folklore to get me all up in my feelings it's definitely the worst for it.

  • Ilona Andrews’ White Hot: Finally A Great Romantic Urban Fantasy Series

    The Hidden Legacy series had a strong start with Burn For Me but I was concerned that the ending was going to lead to a lot of break up/make up nonsense in book two. I was delighted to find that instead, Ilona Andrews penned a compelling second novel that actually surpassed the first. Intriguing, sexy, in no way annoying. Here's my review of White Hot.

  • Alpha Women: Why Is Mercy Thompson So Unbelievably Annoying?

    When a friend recommended Patricia Briggs’ Mercy Thompson series I was insanely excited. A female lead who was also a were and intricately tangled with werewolves? I tore through the first two books fully expecting to have to go back out and buy all the rest. But the strangest thing happened. I hate Mercy Thompson.

  • Carl Totally Just Got In Negan’s Car

    So, I just watched Still Gotta Mean Something, the most recent episode of season 8 to drop, and I may have to grant young Coral a reprieve. Turns out, he maybe didn't screw up his own plot twist after all, but simply twisted it even further.

  • Cannibalism In The Walking Dead Vs. Z Nation Pt1

    Recently I've been thinking about cannibalism...This is a rather odd thing for a vegetarian to do. But as I started watching Z Nation, I got to thinking about the use of cannibalism within zombie narratives and the greater meaning and purpose it can have within the context of a story beyond being simply horrific.. Here are my musings on cannibalism in The Walking Dead.
