My favorite read in 2024

Book cover of Lost Gods

❀️ loved this book because...

Beside Brom's prose, the world they were able to build was fantastic. Rivaled by King and Martin, Brom thrusts you into the pits of purgatory. The relentlessness of the odds the main character has to overcome feels even more authentic by the relationships that are formed and the emotional strings that are pulled...and even torn at times. The audio book narrator only added to its depth.

What is this book about?

In Lost Gods, Brom, the artist and author of The Child Thief and Krampus, brings readers into a dark, fantastical, masterful mix of brilliant illustrations and dazzling prose. A young man descends into Purgatory to save his wife and unborn child in this gorgeous, illustrated tale of wonder and terror from the mind of master storyteller and acclaimed artist Brom. Fresh out of jail and eager to start a new life, Chet Moran and his pregnant wife, Trish, leave town to begin again. But an ancient evil is looming, and what seems like a safe haven may not be all…

My 2nd favorite read in 2024

Book cover of Hellmouth

❀️ loved this book because...

Giles makes the "stacked against the odds" trope not only tolerable but meaningful. Such a punchy novella he has written. HIGHLY recommend.

Bohemia. 1370. A lost soul named Galien leads a band of hardened mercenaries on a mission for Mother Church. But in the dark forests of central Europe, a darker secret awaits. Bestselling author Giles Kristian (Lancelot, The Raven Viking Trilogy) takes us on an unnerving ride into fear and paranoia, bloodshed and redemption.


My 3rd favorite read in 2024

Book cover of Crota

❀️ loved this book because...

What do you get when you mix Jaws, a creature feature and heavy handed Native American lore? Crota is a fantastic ride with not a wasted sentence. I will always recommend the writings of Owl Going back.
