Divination Hollow Reviews Reviews “Butchers” by Todd Sullivan
Butchers drops you into a fully developed vampiric society in South Korea…. Yes, I am on record stating that I am not a big fan of vampire fiction. That being said, the novella format, the quick chapters, Todd’s talent, and the freshness of a story in South Korea kept me…

Namwaran and the Golden Tara by Darwin De Jesus Mariano, A Book Review by Michelle Ayon Navajas
«One thing I usually struggle with when reading novels is when there are loose ends; questions that are left hanging, scenes that feel rushed, or parts that make you wonder,“Wait, ano daw?” Thankfully, this book didn’t give me that feeling. Everything felt connected and well thought out. I really commend…

Kill the War: Peter Mladinic Reviews “tombboy” by Mykyta Ryzhykh
“tombboy,” a book of 46 concrete poems out of the Ukraine, is not a translation. Readers can rightfully assume English is a second language for its author, Mykyta Ryzhykh. Simply put, he is very good at it. In his book, as in books of poems written in poetic forms and…

Not this one. The in-your-face front and back covers each have four differently sized cut-out circles, emblematic of the…

Review: Cancer Courts My Mother by Karen Cline-Tardiff
