The Collapsing Empire (The Interdependency #1) by: John Scalzi

The Collapsing Empire (The Interdependency #1)The Collapsing Empire by John Scalzi
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I have read several of Mr. Scalzi's books. so I thought I knew somewhat what to expect..I was pleasantly suprised and a bit in awe at what I have read.

This is a TERRIFIC beginning to a series, and the awe comes in at the language and how the author manages to flesh out a world and a universe with some extemely to the point writing. It is a fast paced, well done science fiction tale that has an economy to the writing that is rare in this genre.

I loved it, consumed it in two sittings, and started book two.

Definitely give it a read if you haven't already.

The Sea Dreams It Is the Sky: A Novella of Cosmic Horror By: John Honror Jacobs

The Sea Dreams It Is the Sky: A Novella of Cosmic HorrorThe Sea Dreams It Is the Sky: A Novella of Cosmic Horror by John Hornor Jacobs
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The recent spout of authors doing Lovecraft better than Lovecraft CONTINUES!

This is a beautiful book, and it captures the pure dread of "cosmic horror" perfectly..it isn't the shock and blood and gore you read in some horror, it's the viseral punch, that slow sneaking itch at the back of your neck. It's the feeling that you are a small fish in a deep, deep body of water...THAT is the true horror that is throughout this masterfully told tale.

top ratings, One eye written in blood over 5 glowing stars...read this TODAY.
