Folklorn by Angela Mi Young Hur
This review is now live on Sci-Fi & Scary. (https://www.scifiandscary.com/folklorn-review/)
Teaser: There was something so compelling about the prose that, even when the plot itself wasn’t necessarily the most riveting, I found myself constantly thinking about it and itching to get back to it when I wasn’t reading.

The Searching Dead by Ramsey Campbell
This review is now live on Sci-Fi & Scary. (https://www.scifiandscary.com/the-searching-dead-review/)
Teaser: It’s that coming of age element that I enjoyed the most. This blend of nostalgic reminiscence and horror seems pretty popular, with notable entries from the pens of Stephen King and Robert McCammon over in the USA. It’s pleasing to see a British entry in the sub-genre, especially one as well executed as this.

Doors of Sleep by Tim Pratt
This review is now live on Sci-Fi & Scary. (https://www.scifiandscary.com/doors-of-sleep-by-tim-pratt-bookreview/)
Teaser: Pratt manages to build an interesting set of characters that move throughout the book, despite the handicap of starting with one man changing universes when he sleeps.

Lost in the Never Woods by Aiden Thomas
This review is now live on Sci-Fi & Scary. (https://www.scifiandscary.com/lost-in-the-never-woods-review/)
Teaser: I get that we kind of want a bit of a love-story between Peter and Wendy but I found it a little uncomfortable rather than shipping them from the get go.

Eidolon Avenue: The Second Feast by Jonathan Winn
This review is now live on Sci-Fi & Scary. (https://www.scifiandscary.com/eidolon-avenue-second-feast-jonathan-winn-bookreview/)
Teaser: The stories, as mentioned above, should have worked as short, sharp icepicks of horror but the meandering style just didn’t gel with that.

Those Who Disappeared by Kevin Wignall
This review is live at Sci-Fi & Scary. (https://www.scifiandscary.com/those-who-disappeared-review/)
Teaser: Those Who Disappeared is what I’d call a quiet story. There are no car or foot chases that get the protagonist’s adrenaline pumping. This is a story about unraveling truths and poking and prodding until you get the answers you need.

Dustborn by Erin Bowman
Our review is now live on Sci-Fi & Scary https://www.scifiandscary.com/dustorn-review/
Teaser: "It’s almost tragic for people to know the genre before reading, because this reads very much like a dystopian fantasy or post-apocalyptic story of survival." - Eliza

Rattlesnake Rodeo by Nick Kolakowski
Our review is now live on Sci-Fi & Scary (https://www.scifiandscary.com/rattlesnake-rodeo-by-nick-kolakowski-book-review/)
Teaser: One of the best things about this book is the break-neck speed. Kolakowski blasts the reader through various situations. At times a little daunting, this speed adds to the sense of urgency and adds real tension to the plot.
