This is a rather interesting dystopia novel. The characters are not likable, and they are not really meant to be. It is more of a character study about what sexism and out of control capitalism can make people be as well as how it can affect creatively. Despite its age, the themes of the book can st...
Anthology. I only read stories 1 through 6 so my rating is based only on those stories. 2.58 out of 5 stars. 1. The Truth About Werewolves by Lisa Tuttle. This story was very confusing. A woman is obsessed with werewolves, starts a support group to meet one, meets one who "changes" maybe, and then h...
Despite the brief appearance of St. Germain at the end of this short novel, it is really straight historical fiction. Tishtry, a character from Blood Games, is the center of this novel. The book details her journey via performance in the Roman games.The plot is pretty basic, but Yarbro steers clear ...
This installment of Yarbro’s long running series finds the Count dealing with McCarthyism. The Count, though his publishing house, meets various members of the Coven, a group of exiles from the US. He takes particular interest in Charis, a woman who has been forced to Europe, even while she misses ...
Disclaimer: Arc via Netgalley. Thank god for Open Road Media. Truly and completely. Years ago, I picked up this book when it was being re-issued via a small independent press. The edition was so badly edited and produced that any reader knew it was the publisher...
Disclaimer: Arc via Netgalley. Chelsea Quinn Yarbro might the best historical writer around who doesn’t get the props she deserves because her historical fictional has a supernatural twist to. There’s her Count St. Germain series, whose title character is a vampire, though the ser...
I got this *just* for the Kitty story and I'm getting caught up on books I have before the last book comes out. I skimmed some of the other stories, but none caught my attention."Kitty Learns the Ropes"- very typical Kitty. I liked it, but it didn't really add anything to the series. It's one that c...
This isn’t the best Count book, but it is not the worse either. It is very reminiscent of the travelogue of Margery Kempe as she went on pilgrimage. The drawback to any book in this series, at least in terms of a reader who has read more than one book, is that the reader knows t...
Read this review, and many more on my blog October Tune!I won this book in a giveaway at Wensend, and I had been excited for this book for a while! I love Halloween, and I really like scary stories, so this book was perfect for me. It took me a while to actually finish the book, because I didn’t wan...
I received this book free via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. Halloween is a holiday-themed anthology of eighteen stories that are, as Paula Guran says in the introduction, all themed to the holiday in its various forms--from Halloween to All Souls Day to a fictional harvest holiday an...
