• Book Review: Camp Damascus by Chuck Tingle

    Camp Damascus is a book I knew was going to be utterly terrifying from the moment I read the blurb and first sample chapter. The reason why? It’s about a conversion camp for gay kids with a one hundred percent success rate. The silent screaming the first chapter induced was enough to make me hesitate…

    • Book Review: Mother of Demons by Eric Flint

      Mother of Demons is one of my favorite books. The novel is a “braided timeline” style novel that tells the stories of a disparate group of people–human and alien–who become allies in a conflict with an enemy tribe.

          • Book Review: Rapture of the Nerds by Cory Doctorow

            The Rapture of the Nerds by Cory Doctorow is one of those books where I am pretty sure it’s supposed to be funny, but none of the jokes hit my funny bone. This is a post-Singularity novel where a good portion of humanity has “uploaded” and left Earth. The rest of the world is pretty…
