The heroine should stay feisty; no fainting allowed!

Kakuriyo Bed and Breakfast for Spirits vol 6 by Waco Ioka, Midori Yuma, Laruha

November 14, 2021 by CoffeeShopReader Leave a Comment

I’d almost figured that the Kakuriyo manga had either been stalled indefinitely or cancelled; it’s been about a year I think since the current volume was out (#6) but I saw recently that there’s volume 7 coming; I liked the anime version of the story so I’m hoping that the written version continues, although it so far is nearly the same as the animated. The basic premise is that college student Aoi inherited the ability to see ghosts and spirits from her grandad who took […]

The Nightmare Brigade #1: The Case of the Girl from Deja Vu by Frank Thillez

November 10, 2021 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

I first found  The Nightmare Brigade #1: The Case of the Girl from Deja Vu by Frank Thillez, and illustrated by Yomgui Dumont as a preview e-reader. I was so in love with the start that I emailed the address at the bottom of the link sent to tell them! A few months later, chapters one and two were available in a full e-reader. (And once again, I recommend signing up for the newsletter from Papercutz if you and/or a child in your life likes […]

Do you mind giving me notice when the Apocalypse is about to hit? I need to arrange for a babysitter. Thanks!

Swashbucklers by Dan Hanks

November 10, 2021 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Yes, there are a lot of plot point holes and flowing issues and missing information in Dan Hanks novel, Swashbucklers. But (pause) I do not care. This was a funny, easy to read, but need to give a bit of attention to, warped ride. Part fantasy, part adventure, part horror, and a lot of humor cover the pages of this novel. Our hero (question mark) Cisco comes back to his hometown 30-odd years after that Halloween and the “gas leak” which he knows was not […]

Frankenslime by Joy Keller

November 10, 2021 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

To understand my feelings on Frankenslime by Joy Keller you must understand a personality quirk: I can “taste” the words. Not physically of course, but I like to chew on them in my mind. And they started out dry. Very dry. Where was this obviously Frankenstein (and later you will see The Blob references) spoof going? When the dog named Igor is the best thing, you hope it picks up. When I realized that the ending was going to be an almost pee-your-pants funny, I […]

The biggest piece of genius ever written or one big pile of steaming crap

City Monster by Reza Farazmand

November 10, 2021 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

If you like the comic, Poorly Drawn Lines, or stoner literature in general, this story by Reza Farazmand, called City Monster (which is about nothing and about a lot of s**t), is your next read. I am not sure what else I can say about this Monster, his sort of Ghost roommate, a vampire named Kim, and other odd creatures. Occasionally they go outside. Walk about. Talk crud. Maybe run into a mummy or ghost detective, but whatever. Okay, so Ghost might get stoned all […]

Events may be horrible or inescapable. Men have always a choice – if not whether, then how they may endure.

The Curse of Chalion by Lois McMaster Bujold

November 9, 2021 by esme 1 Comment

My thanks to murderofcrows for drawing my attention to this wonderful author! When I was miserably working on my dissertation nearly two decades ago, I read an article in the free weekly about the ‘most popular fantasy book that no one knows about’ or somesuch. It was, of course, A Song of Ice and Fire, and it really helped me escape from my day to day anxiety; however, the constant violence and brutality wore me down after a while. Lois McMaster Bujold’s The Curse of […]
