I’m Starting to Worry About This Black Box of Doom

27 December 2024

A cross-country road trip and man hunt fuelled by Reddit conspiracy lunatics lead to ever-increasing insanity in “I’m Starting to Worry About This Black Box of Doom” by Jason Pargin. Generally speaking, this was a fun and entertaining adventure of […]

It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas Is Cancelled

10 September 2024

It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas Is Cancelled by Craig Kimber is sort of like if Shaun of the Dead was an 80s-style sex comedy mixed with a little bit of Mad Max. A group of no-hopers manage

Junkers

26 May 2024

I honestly can’t remember when I got “Junkers” by Benjamin Wallace. I assume it was during a sale and then promptly forgot about it. It wasn’t until I was scrolling through my audiobooks, looking for something to relisten to that

BuyMort: Grand Opening

2 October 2023

Of all the various scenarios that may come to pass when aliens make contact or a “system” gets installed in our heads, this is probably the most likely scenario of them all. Except it will likely be Amazon or Costco

Mimic & Me

28 September 2023

I quite like mimics… even though they tend to be maniacal evil monsters with insatiable appetites and no morals whatsoever beyond whatever they need to get their next feed. The mimic in this one is no different, and the premise

Inappropriately Human

19 August 2023

I took a bit of a chance with Inappropriately Human, 21 Short Stories by Andrew Heaton and I am very glad that I did so. Short stories can be hit-and-miss at the best of times, and without knowing anything about

The Silas Kane Scrolls

22 July 2023

This was an entirely unexpected origin story. Like the Brandon Thighmaster tale, this is the origin story of Silas Kane, paladin of the Authors and Dragons podcast as played by Rick Gualtieri. I wasn’t expecting to feel sorry for the

Attack of the Killer Tomatoes

21 June 2023

Yeah, I don’t know what inspired me to pick this up, but well here we are. I’ll admit I’ve not seen the movie this was based on, so I’ll assume it remains pretty faithful to the plot. I have seen

Big Sneaky Barbarian

13 December 2022

Big Sneaky Barbarian, written by Seth McDuffee, at times had me snort-laughing. Embarrassing to admit? Yes. Do I care? No, it was totally worth it. This was a low-stakes romp following an apparently dim-witted human transplanted into another world where

Deepwater Dungeon

15 November 2022

I pre-ordered Deepwater Dungeon, written by Ryan Rimmel and Boe Hagen, on the strength of Rimmel’s other series, “Noobtown”, and am regretting my haste a little. Maybe that’s where I went wrong, assuming the humour and writing would be on

(Re)Possessed

20 September 2022

Much like the earlier books in the series, (Re)Possessed (book 4 of the 24/7 Demon Mart series) kicks off and barely pauses for breath between one bonkers thing going awry and the next. Lloyd once again finds strange things are

26 November 2021

Bound to End Badly, written by R. L. Tiochta, is a superb example of dark romantic comedy. Set in Derby (UK), and follows Peter and Maze as they stumble through the dating scene and ever so slowly towards each other.
