Book Review: The Jersey Devil by Hunter Shea
The Jersey Devil was my first introduction to Shea’s work and I quite enjoyed it! I’ve an interest in cryptozoology, and find the Jersey Devil among the more interesting of the beasties out there. No trope is this one, unlike the vampires, werewolves, and zombies that make their tired ways across the pages of contemporary […]

Book Review- The Death Mask by Tom Raimbault (Winter Dolan)
Raimbault’s The Death Mask was one crazy ride. It was like walking down a lazy country road listening to a elder tell stories of their past, replete with the rambling and penchant for repetition.
