Fantasy and horror books and blogposts
And we're back! Spoilers for Dororo this week, previously discussed in this post. The baby should never have lived. Hyakkimaru, the rightful heir to the Daigo name, was meant to die. His death, in the mind of his father, was necessary, noble. It was right. Hyakkimaru belonged to him. If Kagemitsu chose to give his... Continue Reading →
I've got some pretty varied content lined up over the next few weeks and I feel a lot more inspired to be doing this again. A break was what the doctor ordered. See you Friday!
Hey folks! It's August, and August is my birthday month, so I'm taking some time off. I've been pretty wiped out recently due to some wrestling with personal and dayjob stuff, plus it's summer and summer is a rollercoaster for me. I suspect other people find that summer is a time that helps them rejuvenate.... Continue Reading →

I read a bunch of books over vacation, and I thought I would go through and give a brief review of each! Before I left, I put a story up on Instagram with my four vacation reads I'd picked out and why I was excited about them. Let's see how they held up. So I... Continue Reading →
Hey folks! I meant to have this post done Friday, but I didn't so here we are. As previously mentioned here, I went on vacation for two weeks in June. I've been back at work for a little over a week now and things are finally starting to settle enough for me to find time... Continue Reading →
Happy Solstice, everyone! Last year, a dark horse of a book made it on my Best of 2018 list. Glory's Teeth was a wonderful, odd bit of urban fantasy in the vein I like most: strange gods with feelings and existential crises of their own. I found it because a random tweet from the author...

About a year and a half ago, I was chatting with a friend. This person had been mostly supportive of my writing in the past. During the conversation, however, he dismissively referred to writing as my hobby. Flash forward to January of 2019, when I realized that he might have been, at least in some... Continue Reading →
