Following my review of issue 1 from earlier in the week, here’s one for The Savage Sword of Conan #2. Conan shows a different side of his personality and the Solomon Kane story gears up for the finale.

A little late to the party, but my review of Titan Comics’ The Savage Sword of Conan #1 just went up at Grimdark Magazine. The new black-and-white Conan magazine is off to a good start!

My review of Dark Dreams of Nilztiria by D.M. Ritzlin just went up at Grimdark Magazine!

Lots of fun Sword & Sorcery adventure here, but I was a little taken aback by the dearth of female characters.

My review of Conan the Barbarian #10 just went up at Grimdark Magazine. The current arc is fun. but I wouldn't mind moving on from the black stone storyline.

My review of Conan the Barbarian #9 just went up at Grimdark Magazine. A significant improvement over the previous issue, but I worry they're adding too much "extended universe" material for this early in the series.

I reviewed The Angel of Indian Lake by Stephen Graham Jones for Grimdark Magazine. In this concluding installment of the Indian Lake Trilogy “final girl” Jade Daniels gets the send-off she deserves. Best book I’ve read so far this year.

Who knows indie record (as we used to call them) labels? What indie label might be interested in something that resembles Social Distortion, the Bad Seeds, Lou Reed, with a touch of southern rock? There's a new demo...

Formerly from Seattle, I’ve lived in Japan since mid-2001. I work in the mobile gaming industry, mainly localization and licensing.

My book reviews have appeared in New Edge Sword & Sorcery Magazine, Grimdark Magazine, etc. I'm particularly fond of sword & sorcery, pulp fiction, historical fiction, and horror.
