The last few novellas with Eric Brown’s name on the cover that I’ve reviewed here were the four outings of the ‘Kon-Tiki Quartet’, co-written with Keith Brooke and published by PS Publishing. ‘On Arcturus VII’ is by Brown alone and is published by Ian Whates’ NewCon Press as the sixth book in their NP Novellas […]

And our young intrepid Dungeons & Dragons players are questing a little too […]
With a title like ‘Policing The Monstrous’, pay attention to the sub-title, ‘Essays On The Supernatural Crime Procedural’. How do the police and other agencies handle crimes with a supernatural element? That already lays some ground rules for selection and the eleven writers here have chosen across the board, although not everyone. I mean, you […]

Here is a new comedy cartoon series from Netflix, called Inside Job. It can best be described as Men in Black, but rather than wrangling aliens specifically, the secret agents in question are wrangling all the world’s conspiracy theories – everything from the moth man through to the Loch Ness monster and Area 51.
