The Desolation by Andrew Gillsmith
"There will be people who hate this book. I know this. What's more, I understand it.

This is dark material. There is light in it, but the light is not easy to find.

In the first story, you will meet Fr. Janusz, a priest who has committed the worst poss" Read more of this review »

Sword & Sorcery: ...: KS is alive! 35 25 Nov 22, 2021 03:58AM  
Robert E. Howard
“Barbarianism is the natural state of mankind. Civilization is unnatural. It is the whim of circumstance. And barbarianism must ultimately triumph”
Robert E. Howard

P.C. Cast
“Don't fuck with an English major. They keep lots of useless crap trapped in their heads. Once in a while they let some of it out and it bites you square on the ass.”
P.C. Cast, Divine By Mistake

Brian McNaughton
“Fear, if not accompanied by pain, turns into a habit”
Brian McNaughton

“The four libertarians who came to New Hampshire had thinner wallets than…other would-be utopians, but they had a new angle they believed would help them move the Free Town Project out of the realm of marijuana-hazed reveries and into reality. Instead of building from scratch, they would harness the power and infrastructure of an existing town—just as a rabies parasite can co-opt the brain of a much larger organism and force it work against its own interests, the libertarians planned to apply just a bit of pressure in such a way that an entire town could be steered toward liberty.”
Matthew Hongoltz-Hetling, A Libertarian Walks into a Bear: The Utopian Plot to Liberate an American Town

“It's not clear whether, at this point, the Babiarzes fully understood that the libertarians were operating under vampire rules—the invitation to enter, once offered, could not be rescinded.”
Matthew Hongoltz-Hetling, A Libertarian Walks into a Bear: The Utopian Plot to Liberate an American Town
