News , Non-Fiction , Rebellion , Sci-Fi / June 26, 2015

If I’m not reading genre fiction then I am more than likely watching a genre movie. When this interesting titbit of news popped into my mailbox I felt compelled to share. Ex Machina is a wonderful, transcendent piece of cinema and this book sounds equally wonderful.  Jock’s ‘Ex Machina’ concept work to be released as ‘Ava Evolved’ The creative process behind the break-out science fiction hit movie of 2015, Ex Machina, is to be opened up in a very special book this August.

Testimony by Mark Chadbourn
Emerald Eye , Mark Chadbourn , Non-Fiction / January 17, 2015

Strange faces appear on the floor of a house in a remote village in southern Spain. A ghost plane rises from the depths of Ladybower Reservoir on the Derbyshire Moors. The mummified hand of an English martyr is used to raise a Benedictine monk from a coma on the edge of death. Odd stories. Perhaps unbelievable stories. Yet all of them were reported in British newspapers in the first half of 1995. They are just a tiny drop in the tidal wave of weirdness that sweeps over us every day of the year, Read more […]

Sometimes it’s nice to be able to take a break from my regular reading schedule. I stick almost exclusively to genre fiction, but I also like to be able to mix things up from time to time. When the following couple of books popped through my letterbox I realized I could have my cake and eat it. It’s time to take a look at some myths and legends, and learn the fact behind the fiction. Jason and the Argonauts by Neil Smith The voyage of Jason and the Argonauts and their hunt for the Golden Read more […]
