Does that mean you don’t love me?
This is a strange story that is oddly written start to finish. Why, thank you!

I prefer to prevent rats come in.
I enjoyed this book so, so much!
Heart on my sleeve when it comes to this book review … Just read this on Tor.com, and I get it completely: Lately, it’s really difficult to be enthusiastic about books. Perhaps I’ve read too many of them. Perhaps—though less likely—I haven’t read enough, and if I read a few more, the enthusiasm will come […]
Eyes are burning
What’s that you say, 3LBE? “The voices from the shadows of the things long extinct loose whispers that a new issue will visit soon.” You don’t say? And I wonder, why is it that I have a special interest in that? Hmm … I hear that the next issue of Three-lobed Burning Eye magazine will […]
Philip K and other stuff
Sitting in the cinema with my mate Stephen back in another lifetime, as the opening credits for Total Recall unfurled.

I count this last as a jewel in CHTHONIC, and I think you will, too. When I […]
But I wouldn’t have been a Nazi.
It is easy to judge both our fellows and our predecessors. Somehow, because we live in the future, we are better. We can scoff at those who came before us. And we know that we would have done better. We all know that we would have stood up to Hitler. Despite the risk of death, […]
CHTHONIC is here
The rock vibrates beneath the soles of your feet, and your headlamp flickers, fails. But then, you knew it would, eventually. This place is not for you, but here you are. Yes, here you are … CHTHONIC is here, now available for ordering by clicking here. I am very happy that CHTHONIC includes […]
You had me at …
Dear Ms Kiernan. If you didn’t have me before, you had me at “…militants from the Earth- Yuggoth Cooperative”. Insert extremely large smiley face here. An electronic version of the original Black Helicopters has been lost somewhere in my PC for a few years, and I haven’t read it. However, I was very pleased this […]
