Dracula: The Un-Dead by Dacre Stoker
Dacre Stoker delved into his ancestor’s handwritten notes on the original Dracula novel to pen his sequel, Dracula: The Un-Dead – the original name for Dracula before an editor changed the title. The novel, out next October, draws on excised characters, existing character back-stories and plot threads that were cut from Stoker’s original novel, first published 111 years ago.

The Desert Spear by Peter V. Brett – Review
about 4 months ago - No comments
In this sequel to the popular epic fantasy The Warded Man, the legend of the hero Arlen Bales takes a backseat as two other characters capture our imagination. There is Jardir, the pseudo-hero and king who leads violent, stereotypical desert folk against the tranquil “green lands.” The rags-to-fame story of Jardir mirrors Arlen’s, feeling repetitious

Scott Westerfeld does not disappoint with this adventure story that will appeal to boys and girls alike. One storyline follows Prince Alex, the fictitious son of Archduke Franz Ferdinand, who is fleeing from the military forces of his own country, at the same time mastering the art of operating a mechanical fighter.

The Desert Spear by Peter V. Brett When buzz first began to build about Peter V. Brett, it wasn’t his debut novel, The Warded Man, everyone was talking about. Rather, it was about the Blackberry-like device he wrote the majority of the novel on, during his morning commute. Once readers got their hands on The

The Forest of Hands and Teeth by Carrie Ryan – Review

The Forest of Hands and Teeth by Carrie Ryan I’ll admit, I have been disappointed with the paranormal YA novels I’ve read lately. I’ve read some great novels, but many of the hyped, popular novels that everyone else has loved have fell flat for me. I knew I wanted to read The Forest of Hands

Creative Writing: How Long Should Your Novel Be?
about 4 months ago - No comments
Too many authors try to stretch their novels into 200,000-word epics, only to bore their readers to tears. Others try to get the entire story over with in 50,000 words, leaving out valuable information. A novel should be just long enough to tell your story, but long enough so that all of the details are included.

The Dead-Tossed Waves (Forest of Hands and Teeth, Book 2) by Carrie Ryan Carrie Ryan grabs you by the teeth with THE DEAD TOSSED WAVES and never lets you go. Before jumping into this book, I felt almost hesitant, wondering if I was ready to embark on another harrowing journey and worried about how emotionally
The Passage by Justin Cronin – Review
about 6 months ago - No comments
The Passage by Justin Cronin The atmosphere has more the entertainment thriller vibe of Stephen King’s THE STAND than the bleak, literary vibe of Cormac McCarthy’s THE ROAD. And while it falls squarely into the post-apocalyptic genre, I loved that there were a couple of limited-reach dystopian societies thrown in for good measure. The central
The Adamantine Palace by Stephen Deas – Review

The Adamantine Palace (MEMORY OF FLAMES) by Stephen Deas This novel was definitely what I would call a “cover art purchase” as I was not aware that it was being released. While we were on our weekly Friday bookstore trip, I spotted The Adamantine Palace on an end cap display. The cover art was jaw
