Review: “Twisted Rhymes: For the Theater of Your Mind!”

Joe Murphy | September 3, 2004June 1, 2024

Of all the forms of speculative fiction (i.e. science fiction, hard science fiction, space opera, space western, fantasy, dark fantasy, horror, time travel, magical realism, fairy tales, mythology, Authurian legend, chick fantasy, romantic horror, action/adventure fantasy, etc.), horror is easily my least favorite genre. I know all the monsters and demons are supposed to be evil incarnate, but I always find myself wondering why they have to be so mean, you know?

Also, I’m not a big poetry fan. I mean, shall I compare thee to a summer’s day? Um… you’re hot and sweaty and full of mosquitoes. Whose woods these are I don’t think I know. I’ve seen lots of things more lovely than a tree. Stop with all the pretty words, just gimme the story.

Review: “Not Your Father’s Horseman” by Valerie Griswold-Ford

Review: “Not Your Father’s Horseman” by Valerie Griswold-Ford

Tee Morris | August 9, 2005August 10, 2024 | 1 Comment

When you ask author Valerie Griswold-Ford how she got her contract for Not Your Father’s Horseman, she will tell you, “Well, Tee suggested I finish the manuscript and then pitch it to Dragon Moon. What Tee didn’t tell me was he pitched it for me to Dragon Moon and got me a contract.” So, yeah, I figured a great motivator in getting your first novel done was a contract.

Review: “Eon: Dragoneye Reborn” by Alison Goodman

Review: “Eon: Dragoneye Reborn” by Alison Goodman

Michael Hickerson | February 7, 2009May 30, 2024

“Dragoneye” is the first of a two-part story set in Goodman’s universe. Thankfully, Goodman is able to resolve enough of the storylines to keep readers satisfied and make this a complete novel, while creating a cliffhanger and situation that will leave you wanting to pick up the next installment as soon as possible and find out what happens next.

Review: “The Making of a Graphic Novel/The Resonator” by Prentis Rollins

Review: “The Making of a Graphic Novel/The Resonator” by Prentis Rollins

David Moldawer | April 30, 2006August 10, 2024

This is one of those ideas that seems so obvious you wonder why it hasn’t been done before. Writer-artist Rollins, who’s worked extensively for DC Comics, splits his book in half.

Review: “Letters From the Flesh” by Marcos Donnelly

Review: “Letters From the Flesh” by Marcos Donnelly

Joe Murphy | April 26, 2004May 31, 2024

Robert J. Sawyer is one of the Dragon Page’s best friends. Besides the fact that he writes ridiculously good science fiction, he has been generous with his time and has given us several great interviews and plugs. Which is why I’m trying to rehydrate my parched lips as I type. I’m giving the first title from his new line of books a thumbs down.

Review: “Demon Angel” by Meljean Brook

Review: “Demon Angel” by Meljean Brook

Jane Litte | February 6, 2007June 16, 2024

If there was ever a time a fantasy reader wanted to dip their toes into the romance waters, it would be this book by debut author Meljean Brook. Don’t let the cover put you off because behind the clinch embrace is a detailed urban fantasy with a good bit of action.

Review: “Parasite” by Mira Grant

Review: “Parasite” by Mira Grant

Michael Hickerson | November 30, 2013May 30, 2024

Mira Grant’s first novel Feed was one of the best novels of its year, garnering critical praise, a legion of fans and making the short list for the Hugo Award.

It deserved every bit of that attention thanks in large part thanks to a new take on the zombie thriller and a couple of interesting twists along the way that made me eager for the next installment in the trilogy.

Review: “Someone Comes to Town, Someone Leaves Town” by Cory Doctorow

Review: “Someone Comes to Town, Someone Leaves Town” by Cory Doctorow

David Moldawer | October 12, 2005June 7, 2024 | 1 Comment

This is a book that will appeal mostly to geeks, both because it’s SF and because it dwells so enthusiastically on the topic of wireless connectivity and networks and all that. But above and beyond those trappings, Someone Comes to Town, Someone Leaves Town is about family and society: fitting in, feeling left out, struggling for acceptance, struggling for independence.
