Book Review: Wolfman Confidential, by Justin Robinson
Reviewer’s note: the author of the below reviewed book is an internet friend of mine for whom I often serve as a beta reader and who has helped me to promote my own books in the past. So I’m not 100% objective here. But I wouldn’t go to the effort of writing this if I didn’t think this book was worth your attention, dear readers. We here at Skiffy and Fanty enjoy a good genre mash-up, and in Werewolf Confidential, Justin S. Robinson’s third volume in his City of Devils series*, we’ve got an absolutely smashing example of one.
Book Review: Nobody’s Home (An Anubis Gates Story) by Tim Powers
Tracking the murderer of her fiance through 19th century London’s darkest warrens, Jacky Snapp has disguised herself as a boy. But the disguise fails when she tries to save a girl from the ghost of her jealous husband. Jacky soon finds that she has made herself visible to the ghosts that cluster around the Thames… And one of them is the ghost of her fiancee, who was poisoned and physically transformed by his murderer and unwittingly shot dead by Jacky herself. Jacky and the girl she rescued, united in the need to banish their pursuing ghosts, learn that their only hope is to flee upriver to the barge known as Nobody’s Home — where the exorcist whose name is Nobody charges an intolerable price.
