“The world is a book. Some words stand out from the page.”

Lucifer, Vol. 1: Devil in the Gateway by Mike Carey

July 9, 2021 by narfna Leave a Comment

**30 Books in 30 Days** Book 22/30 I liked this, but I’m having trouble remembering what happened in it, and I only read it two or three days ago. I also haven’t quite yet caught what this story is *about*. Lucifer was one of my favorite parts of Sandman. What he did in that series was so audacious, it delighted me. I wanted to see how Mike Carey (and Peter Gross) would follow that up. This volume hasn’t really answered that for me yet, and […]

The Girl With All the Gifts by M.R. Carey

The gift that keeps on giving

The Girl With All the Gifts by M. R. Carey

October 24, 2018 by octothorp Leave a Comment

This was my “cannonballer says!” square for bingo and it’s kind of a twofer as maydays’ comment on alwaysanswersb’s review doubled down on my decision to buy the book.  And honestly, enough of you guys have recommended this one that I was leaning toward buying this before maydays let me know this was written by Mike Carey (I’m a huge comic book reader but keep my cannonball reviews to prose), but alwaysanswersb really made me interested. I’m spending a lot of words on the review, […]

Tom Taylor’s journey comes to an end

The Unwritten, vol 10: War Stories and The Unwritten, vol 11: Apocalypse by Mike Carey and Peter Gross

December 27, 2017 by Malin 1 Comment

Tom Taylor is trying to find his way back to his friends, moving through a number of children’s stories. Even when he’s reunited with his storyteller father, Wilson Taylor, who by writing a popular fantasy series where the main character shared Tom’s name, pretty much gave him the abilities to move through all manner of works of fiction, and his friends, the world is in chaos, as the Leviathan, the source of all the stories in the world, is gravely wounded. The boundaries between stories […]

Post-Apocalyptic Tale of Wonder

The Girl with All the Gifts by M.R. Carey

December 26, 2017 by teresaelectro Leave a Comment

I’ve been meaning to read The Girl with All the Gifts since the film came out last year. As usual, I kept putting it off until one of my book clubs assigned it. This was voted as the Mocha Girls Read supernatural pick for October. I read nearly half of it in one day, finally finished it up in December. I’m glad that I did, still a wild ride despite hearing spoilers during the in person discussion. I’m not a fiercely against them when it comes […]

A pretty disappointing crossover – not sorry I waited so long to read it

The Unwritten, vol 9: The Unwritten Fables by Mike Carey, Bill Willingham, Peter Gross and Mark Buckingham

December 23, 2017 by Malin Leave a Comment

Tommy Taylor has been separated from his friends and is desperately trying to find a way back to them. He also needs to stop the ancient adversary, Pullman, from killing the legendary Leviathan once and for all, but is waylaid on his journey when the various witches and magical personages of Fabletown attempt to summon the greatest mage the worlds have ever seen, in order to stop the menace threatening their own realms. Tommy is pretty sure he’s not the person they’re looking for, but […]

Revisiting an old friend

Vicious Circle by Mike Carey

October 8, 2017 by Bothari43 2 Comments

I’ve read a couple yawners lately, so I needed something GOOD. I needed a dose of Felix Castor! I know Harry Dresden is beloved around here, but I’ve never really been a fan. I MUCH prefer Felix. He’s an exorcist in London. He works with the police occasionally, getting in touch with the recently deceased, and otherwise acting like a private investigator for clients with ghost trouble. He’s a conflicted atheist exorcist, though, which means he doesn’t actually like performing exorcisms, since he doesn’t know […]
