Book Review // Angels of Caliban by Gav Thorpe
Night Lords, Dark Angels and Gav Thorpe. What more could I possibly want from a Horus Heresy novel?
In my latest Adventures with Peps book review, I'm diving into Angels of Caliban. A story packed with Primarchs, political intrigue, ancient grudges and some major revelations about the Fallen. From Luther's continued development to Konrad Curze stealing the show, there's plenty to get excited about!
Plus, all that backstabbing and power-grabbing has got me thinking... could a would-be king trying to protect his people inspire a new Sector 102 adventure?
Come and find out!
Comic Review // Aliens: Rescue by Brian Wood
Can Aliens: Rescue save the day after the disappointment of Resistance? Brian Wood brings Amanda Ripley, Zula Hendricks and a grown-up Alec Brand back into the Xenomorph-infested nightmare, but is this sequel worth your time?
Join me as I review the comic, weigh up the good and the not-so-good, and dig out an idea for a new Sector 102 adventure. DROKK!
Comic Review: Aliens – Resistance by Brian Wood
Today I head back into the world of Aliens. This comic has everything I could want: known characters, evil corporations and Xenomorphs! What could go wrong?
Turns out quite a bit, come a read what went wrong.
Audiobook review // Halloween Ends: The Official Movie Novelization.
Well, we've done the first two, so it's time for it to end!
I've reached the final chapter of David Gordon Green's Halloween trilogy, but this time I'm trading the screen for the headphones with Halloween Ends: The Official Movie Novelization.
Nearly nine hours with Michael Myers… what could possibly go wrong?
The Lurker at the Threshold – H. P. Lovecraft & August Derleth
Horror season is upon Ottawa, which means Pumpkin Spice Lattes and a healthy dose of eldritch horror! I'm diving into my thrift-store haul of H.P. Lovecraft, starting with The Lurker at the Threshold by Lovecraft and August Derleth. An ancient house, occult secrets, and Elder Gods… sounds promising, right? Well, let's just say this one didn't quite hit the mark for me. DROKK!
Horror Review // The Pear-Shaped Man by George R.R. Martin
Ever met a Pear-Shaped Man?
George R.R. Martin’s horror has left me thoroughly creeped out and feeling a little gross in my soul! Forget dragons and epic fantasy, this is horror that gets under your skin, builds a horrible sense of dread, and makes you want the main character to RUN!
Horror Review // The Juniper Tree by Peter Straub
My journey into modern horror continues with Peter Straub’s The Juniper Tree, and, DROKK, I was not prepared for this one. I went looking for ghosts and movie-style monsters, but found something far more disturbing: the dark side of humanity.
As a parent, this story hit me hard. A powerful read, but one that came with a serious emotional cost. My latest horror review is up on Adventures with Peps. Read with caution.
Book Review // The Greater Festival of Masks by Thomas Ligotti
A strange city, a festival of masks, and a world where nothing is quite what it seems! I'm continuing my dive into modern horror with Thomas Ligotti's The Greater Festival of Masks. The atmosphere was wonderfully creepy, but I'll admit, I got a little lost in the plot!
Book Review // Jacqueline Ess: Her Will and Testament by Clive Barker
After Dancing Chickens left me cold, I turned to Clive Barker for another dose of horror! Jacqueline Ess: Her Will and Testament delivers some wonderfully gruesome body horror, but did the story hit the mark? My latest book review is up on Adventures with Peps!
Sector 102 // Mutie Kharnagar – Scout for Hire
Need someone to find a safe route through Sector 102? Track down supplies? Sneak into places where he probably shouldn't be?
Kharnagar might be your mutie!
Book Review // Dancing Chickens by Edward Bryant
I've taken a little break from my Halloween reading and wandered into Modern Horror with Edward Bryant's Dancing Chickens.
Sadly… this one didn't really do it for me.
Aliens, abuse, a very disturbing chicken puppet and an interesting idea about humanity becoming someone else's plaything, but unfortunately, the execution left me cold.
Book Review // Halloween Kills: The Official Movie Novelization by Tim Waggoner
Michael Myers is back… and apparently he's still the fastest slow-walker in horror.
I'm continuing my October Halloween reading with Halloween Kills: The Official Movie Novelization by Tim Waggoner.
More character depth, more blood, more Michael, and a whole lot of people making terrible decisions.
Book Review // Halloween: The Official Movie Novelization by John Passarella
Halloween is here!
I'm revisiting Michael Myers, but this time in book form with Halloween: The Official Movie Novelization by John Passarella.
It's tense, creepy and surprisingly detailed, giving us a deeper look into the characters, and even a little more insight into Michael himself.
Book Review // Star Wars: The High Republic – Escape from Valo
A ruined zoo. Three young Jedi. One mechanic who's suddenly found himself in charge. And a teenage pirate who probably isn't going to make things any easier!
I'm heading back to the High Republic with Escape from Valo by Daniel José Older and Alyssa Wong.
Audio Drama // The Sigillite by Chris Wraight
Audio drama again fans! I promise I do other things as well haha. Malcador takes centre stage, there's plenty of juicy lore, and we get a glimpse behind the curtain of one of the most mysterious characters in the Imperium.
Come on let’s go!
Audio Review // Lost Sons by James Swallow
Lost Sons takes us to Baal, where just thirty Blood Angels are left behind while the rest of the Legion heads for Signus Prime. Then communication is lost, loyalties are tested, Malcador’s Knight Errants turn up, and suddenly the Blood Angels are painting their armour black and crossing out their Legion symbols.
What is happening? Let’s find out.
Audio Review // Ghosts Speak Not & Patience by James Swallow
This week, I'm back in the Horus Heresy with James Swallow's Ghosts Speak Not and Patience. Two connected short stories bringing us back to the Knights Errant, the surviving loyal Death Guard, and the fascinating Amendera Kendel.
It's great to catch up with these forgotten threads of the Heresy, but there's something darker going on here too. The Imperium is changing, the old ways are disappearing, and even those fighting for the Emperor can't go back to what they were.
Predator in Mega-City One! Bringing the Ultimate Hunter to Sector 102
There's something hunting in the Spillways…
I've taken an old Heroclix miniature, turned it into a classic Predator, and found it a new home in Sector 102. But what is it hunting? Mutants? Criminals? Judges?
With a fantastic set of subscriber-created rules, the ultimate hunter is ready to stalk the dark tunnels beneath Mega-City One.
Just remember… if you hear that clicking noise, it might already be too late.
New video over on Adventures with Peps!
Audio Review // Distant Echoes of Old Night by Rob Sanders
In Distant Echoes of Old Night, Rob Sanders unleashes Chaplain Murnau and a terrifying force of Destroyers on the surviving Imperial Fists. We're talking claustrophobic corridors, brutal close-quarters combat, and enough biological nastiness to make you think twice about breathing.
