J. Cornelius is the award-winning author of Remembering Demons, and, Fighting Angels, books one and two of the dark fantasy trilogy, The God Cycle. The highly original premise of the series mixes fantasy, sci-fi, and horror in unpredictable ways.

Strange Weather by Joe  Hill

I love short story collections as a way to discover a new author. They let you sample a writer's style, voice, and range without committing to a full-length novel, so Strange Weather felt like the perfect introduction to Joe Hill.

Nope. I found it to be a needlessly convoluted mess and impossible to follow. I read books, I don't study them, and this felt like a book that demanded homework just to keep track of what was going on. I know it's a beloved classic, but I wasn't enjo ...more

"Not today, Chuckie!

Who-eee! Confusion reigned in A Tale of Two Cities. Even with the Cliff Notes, it was hard to grasp what was going on. While some of it can be blamed on the archaic language and the classic American ignorance of history, Charles Di" Read more of this review »
