  Anya Bast - Interview
by J. Lee Moffatt
 

When did you know you wanted to be a writer?
I’ve wanted to be a writer since I was old enough to read. I used to come home from the library with armfuls of books. I can actually remember the first time I declared it publicly, though. I was in the car with my father. I must have been about seven. He asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I leaned into the front seat (I was in the back) and said “I want to be a writer and write about worn yellow raincoats with tears patched with scotch tape.”

  Anton Stout - Interview
by T.M. Thomas

Anton Strout: With Dead To Me, it wasn’t written under any kind of deadline. I toiled for a few years on it, trying to find its legs and rhythm.  With book 2, Deader Still, I was suddenly published and under contract to produce a book with only a year to do so.  Having that deadline terrified me, but in that terror, I found the motivation to keep trucking.  Read More...
   
  Neverwhere - Review
by Jenn Wolfe
 

I would never have read Neverwhere if it weren’t for the fact that I had lost it under my bed.

It was one of those books that one of my dear friends had lent to me years ago, when he found out I had read the book Gaiman had penned with Terry Pratchett, Good Omens.  Being the rampant Vampire: The Masquerade dork I was at the time, the said friend thought I’d like this book as it was a bit darker, a bit more fantastic, and being polite, I took the book as I hated to be rude and tell him, “sorry, but the idea of a magical London beside a regular London has already been done by JK Rowling, thanks.”  Read More...

   
  Hands and Teeth - Review
by My Favourite Books
 

Shelving my own preconceptions, I started reading The Forest of Hands and Teeth the morning after I received my copy.  I was immediately struck by the author’s intimate style of writing and the ease with which you are effortlessly drawn into the lives of Mary and her closest friends.  The cast remains very small, serving to place you at the heart of the action.  Read More...

   
  Scent of Shadows - Review

review by Harry Markov

“The Scent of Shadows” by Vicki Pettersson for me is probably one of the best books I have had the pleasure to read in a while. It can be described as gritty, dark, violent and one of the more captivating Urban Fantasy titles on the market. A lot can be said about the book, the ideas it conveys and the quality of the writing. By my rating standards this novel exceeds the maximum ten points and skyrockets far in the distance.  Read More...
