Gee, thanks for coming down from Elysium to talk to us….
Someone from the New Yorker decided to read some fantasy: I’ve read a few best-selling fantasy series—Harry Potter, The Lord of the Rings, His Dark Materials, Twilight, Narnia, A Wrinkle in Time, The Dark Is Rising—but I would never describe … Continue reading
“They move in dark, old places of the world.”

OK, I am now working my way through Guy Gavriel Kay’s A Song for Arbonne, which means that it’s time for you, the Readership, to decide what I read next. Up for selection this time are two works of old … Continue reading
