Review: The Prince: Lucifer’s Origins by J. M. Erickson ★★★★
The Prince: Lucifer’s Origins is a science fiction, coming-of-age adventure tale by prolific independent author J. M.

Review: Not in God’s Name by Paula Fouce ★★★★★
Much of the commentary surrounding recent terrorist attacks and threats might lead one to think that religious hatred is a new thing. But in fact violence and hatred in the name of religion have been around a very long time, perhaps as long as religion itself. Or at least as long as the monotheistic Abrahamic religions. For many Americans, religious violence seems to have recently arrived on American soil, but that is a bit ingenuous as well. From the Salem Witch Trials to the Sikh Temple massacre in 2012, the United States is no stranger to hatred and violence that […]
Review: The Test by B.A. Sherman
Review: The Miseducation of the Zombie by Timothe Davis ★★★★
In the United Federation of Sectors, a nation of 13 Sectors altogether, the creatures of the forest, lagoon, and full moon are all real, races from beyond have landed, and the dead walk the Earth – but that’s not the real issue these days.
After the Sectors began to pass proper laws for that sort of thing, Humans and the Other-Worldly Beings (or “OWBs”) are now fairly co-existent, both together and within each other’s broad spectrum of individuals. Sure, there are Vampires, Werewolves, Zombies – but nobody gets turned without a permit and proper medical procedure these days. Helping this […]
