Publisher’s Weekly Booklife section recently reviewed Boobs of Steel for the October release of their magazine! “Finney (author of Tabula Rosa) begins his Boobs of Steel series with an exploration of the Amazon archetype and its literary, creative, and cultural influence. “Classic superheroes have been systematically insulted, debased, and then replaced by so-called ‘inclusive and diverse’ females,” he writes, asserting that those changes have negatively impacted comics. Finney looks at examples, past and present, of comic and film’s female icons, including notables like She-Hulk, Xena, and, the “seed from which all our modern action heroines sprung from,” Wonder Woman—taking note of their symbolism as well asRead More →

In: Reviews, The Sadist's Bible

Joe from AudioBook Reviewer recently gave The Sadist’s Bible a listen. And the results?… Story (Plot) Performance Production Quality Attention Holding Overall: The story does hold the listener’s attention. It is short and sometimes graphic and wicked in its challenges to what many people believe are the norms of Christian concepts of Heaven and Hell. Pain and Suffering. The narrative makes a few shifts between characters and may be confusing for a second or two. This audiobook will not be for everyone but it will hold your attention until the end if you are interested in wanting to see what happens next. The narration isRead More →

Recently, Library Journal posted a review of Casefile: ARKHAM – Her Blood Runs Cold… Hank Flynn, who bears an uncanny resemblance to actor Robert Mitchum, is a recently returned World War II marine who has just received his PI license, and his first assignment is a doozy! Trying to locate a vanished, untouchable playboy who’s been behaving badly, the amateur sleuth encounters a feast of gritty cynics, twisted con men, and bodacious, independent women. Haunting this fast-paced noir like an invisible villain are sinister dark forces: imagine Dashiell Hammett meets H.P. Lovecraft to produce a marvelous gumshoe adventure set in the flickering, neon-lit 1940s AndRead More →

Recently, horror writer and Stoker winner Nicole Cushing wrote an editorial for the Ginger Nuts of Horror about nightmares, dissociation, experiencing death at an early age, and how that has affected her writing, especially for penning her latest novella, The Sadist’s Bible. Here is a sample: I don’t mind such nightmares. Nightmares are research. Now, to be clear, nightmares lack the narrative structure of a story and they typically lack well-developed characters, too. So there’s still a lot of work to do after I wake from them. (It isn’t just a matter of getting zapped with the right nightmare and writing it all down. As withRead More →

Comic Wow just gave Casefile: ARKHAM a stellar and annotated review. “This is a really amazing book, with a lot of really cool references and hidden meanings. If you don’t know them, you’ve got a really good story. If you do know them, you’ve got a really amazing story. There are certainly more of them than I would have expected…but they did keep my eyes glued to the pages, looking for more. The plot itself is really interesting with supernatural ghouls and real magick (with a “k”) being explored. This is definitely up my creepy alley. It’s definitely worth the read, so give it aRead More →
