Mr. Shivers by Robert Jackson Bennett Mr. Shivers is a bit of an odd ball book. It beings as a simple quest and murder story set in the depression era of America (readers will be reminded of the HBO TV series Carnivale as it’s set in the same era but Mr. Shivers is a bit

Warriors edited by George R. R. Martin & Gardner Dozois In his Introduction, George R. R. Martin describes “Warriors” as a ‘spinner rack’, which is an apt description for an anthology that includes stories of every ilk from historical fiction, fantasy and sci-fi to a Western, mysteries, “some mainstream”, and “a couple of pieces that

Best Served Cold by Joe Abercrombie You can say many things for Joe Abercrombie. You can say he’s leading the way for no-holds-barred Fantasy. You can say he’s a great stylist, with satisfying, easy-to-read prose. You can give him credit for being adept at writing convincing, startling endings (a trait sadly lacking in the Fantasy

A Feast for Crows (A Song of Ice and Fire) by George R.R. Martin A Feast for Crows is the fourth volume of A Song of Ice and Fire, and at the time of publication was the most troubled book in the series to write. George R.R. Martin had planned to have a five-year narrative

The Last Kingdom (The Saxon Chronicles Series #1) by Bernard Cornwell I would whole-heartedly recommend this book to fantasy readers. Yeah, the book is historical fiction, not fantasy, but it hits all the same spots (at least for me). If you are a fan of Ruckley, Joe Abercrombie, George R.R. Martin, or Paul Kearney (The
The Steel Remains by Richard Morgan – Review

The Steel Remains by Richard Morgan While the story is mostly resolved by the end, there are enough small dangling threads that have me greatly and greedily awaiting the next novel in the projected trilogy. “The Steel Remains” is a gateway drug. It left me wanting more. More Richard Morgan novels. It’s also revitalized my

The Red Wolf Conspiracy by Robert V.S. Redick Readers who like C. S. Forester or perhaps even Patrick O’Brian may find this a fantasy they want to read. Fans of James M. Ward’s Halcyon Blithe character (itself modeled on C. S. Forester’s Horatio Hornblower) will find a grown-up version of those tales in The Red

Inside Straight (Wild Cards) by George R. R. Martin Inside Straight was a delightful read populated with well-written characters with some unique powers. Although I didn’t find myself as interested at the end of the novel due to the changes in character point of view, I did enjoy it and look forward to reading Busted

Fantastic news.
George R.R. Martin’s A Song of Ice And Fire series is brilliant. Right up there with Tolkein’s Lord of the Rings.
I, like a good majority of fantasy fans, are eagerly awaiting Martin’s next book in the series!
