Path of the Bearers and Other Stories by Nicholas Licalsi

Path of the Bearers and Other Stories by Nicholas Licalsi

Path of the Bearers and Other Stories by Nicholas Licalsi is a creative collection of seventeen science fiction tales that test the ingenuity and limitations of both man and machine – an orphan who grows to 1200 pounds eating pizzas in a spaceship, dangerous multi-limbed creatures, orbs that hold every child’s purpose, and humanized computers are among the original inventions that populate these stories. Thematically linking explorations into outer space and the examination of the interior space of human emotion and fallibility, Licalsi’s stories are uniquely varied and inventive. Several pieces would gain strength from more plot development and less […]

Metamorphosis by Isabella MacLeod

Metamorphosis by Isabella MacLeod

A woman struggles with a mysterious disease, a difficult marriage, and clandestine affairs in Metamorphosis by Isabella MacLeod, an original work that veers into supernatural fiction, erotica, and psychological thriller. The novel chronicles the life of Miranda, who is in a desperate search for someone who can provide a cure for the painful, debilitating, and often grotesque symptoms that threaten to dismantle her life as a nurse, wife, and mother. The story is compelling in its originality and creativity, but it is hampered by grammatical issues and a first-person narrator who is somewhat hard to follow given the abrupt transitions […]

The Three Witches and The Three-Headed Dagger by Henry Regnault

The Three Witches and The Three-Headed Dagger by Henry Regnault

An action-packed work of paranormal fantasy, The Three Witches and The Three-Headed Dagger by Henry Regnault is a master class in world-building, character creation, and finely drawn action scenes.

Mixing contemporary reality with ancient fantasy lore, Regnault immediately immerses readers in this grisly and occasionally graphic story with well-drawn characters and original magic. The prose is sometimes too reliant on dialogue, but overall this is a […]
