Talking goats, the common cold and other ways to change history

Earthdivers V01: Kill Columbus by Stephen Graham Jones

Earthdivers V02: Ice Age! by Stephen Graham Jones

October 6, 2025 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Time travel books. I like the concept of them and even have enjoyed some time traveling TV shows and movies, and I have even enjoyed some books with the theme. However, they also can confuse the bejimminies out of me. The Earthdivers series had all the good stuff I like about books and time traveling books but also all the pieces that confuse me. And while things are fairly straight forward, when people start to backtrack on themselves, it gets confusing. Part of this is […]

In any case, it’s been a while since I’ve read any American Vampire, but fortunately I seemed to remember most of the characters and what-have-yous from the previous volumes when I picked up the […]
