Review: Rana Ahmad – Frauen dürfen hier ...

Two things first, this is not a work of fiction I am going to review, this is an autobiography/ the story of the author’s escape from a life in an oppressive and repressive regime, and it is not available in English. I really hope it will be very soon, though, …

Project Stoicism: On the Futility of War

War today is, as always, driven by the interests of the wealthy and powerful to further their own agendas in one way or the other. Many great thinkers have through the ages recognized that war is ultimately futile and only increases suffering. Seneca has something very poignant to say on …

Review: The Color out of Space (2019 fil ...

So, the first part of the announced Lovecraftian trilogy has been released on DVD, which meant: I got a chance to watch it. I went into the experience with mixed feelings. I am not too fond of most adaptions of Lovecraft’s work, my favourites so far being the films produced …

April 2020

April was the serious beginning of quarantine in Australia. It was also the point at which I ceased being a PhD student… it was insane, intense and weighed heavily on everyone’s mentality. Poems Heat by Melissa Lee Shaw Series Little Women by Louisa May Alcott (Little Women #1) Sm(B)itten by Delilah Devlin (Night Fall #1)…

O For a Fiery Gloom and Thee by Brian St ...

There was something completely beautiful and stunning about the language used in this story. It had that great lyrical value that doesn’t often show it’s face in contemporary writing. The story felt somewhat familiar, as it would to anyone who has an obsession with tales of the fae. I loved that this felt both familiar and new as the gorgeous lyricism of the story evolved.

Our Turn Too Will One Day Come by Brian ...

This was a very intense, family-secrets way too real kind of story. But it was brilliant. And gorgeous. And seriously put me in my happy place. Again, not going to delve too far into the fact that a freaky story with a pretty twisted family secret puts me in my happy place… there are just some questions we probably shouldn’t ask.

Last Rites by Louise Cooper

This was a seriously tripped out story. I did enjoy it. But I can’t really remember much of what happened… I suppose many of the more trippy stories that I read are like that though.

Eldest by Christopher Paolini

I vaguely recalled reading this novel years ago. But, as I reread it… I seriously began to doubt my memories. There was just so much in this novel that I didn’t see coming and which completely pulled me in. There is just a great sense of intrigue and interest in this story… an amazing journey that doesn’t end the way you expect. Although, it does end in a great way. Now I can’t wait to read Brisingr… a book that I know I’ve never read before…
