of
The Case Book of Harry Stubbs: Four Cthulhu Mythos Adventures:
"Why 5 stars? Are these excellent, fantastic? Yes, a nice fantasy of the 1920's where the hero of the day is an boxer Harry Stubbs. Not so great to look at and in fact you might be intimidated by him. He knows some strange people and very willing to u"

| To some people, Cambridge academia is hell, with its endless drudgery, gruelling exams, back-biting politics and cutthroat competition. In Katabasis, hell is literally Cambridge academia as two PhD students descend to the underworld to bring back the ...more | |

| Somewhere between 3 and 4, entertaining enough and some of the humour lands witth a high degree of originality on show , but the plotting just is not quite there. The characters -- with a couple of notable exceptions -- are much too much standard mod ...more | |

Well, maybe between three and four stars. High expectations are a dangerous thing, and after Lincoln in the Bardo another novel covering the same near-afterlife ground, but in a lighter vein, is a risky approach. The writing is solid, but the characte ...more |

The Case Book of Harry Stubbs: Four Cthulhu Mythos Adventures:
"Another stellar bow by David Hambling with this addition to the Harry Stubbs series. All of these were previously part of other collections themed around Al-Azif, Yig, Yog-Sothoth, and the final tale from a collection called Eldritch Prisoners that c"

It is easy to laugh at this kind of adolescent sub-Bond spy fantasy. Can the unarmed hero take on any number of armed assailants? Will he successfully seduce the sexy enemy agent? Can he stroll through a casino and win thousands? Need you even ask? Th ...more |

“There is a story about a traveller chased by a tiger to the edge of an abyss. The man took hold of a vine and started to climb down when he saw an angry dragon at the bottom of the abyss, and when he looked up, the tiger was lashing its tail above. As he hung on, a mouse started to gnaw away at the vine he was clinging to. The man was ready for death when he noticed a wild strawberry growing next to him, so he plucked it. It was the sweetest he had ever tasted.”
