Heraclix & Pomp is a book that feels much older than it is, and that is most definitely a compliment. In reading it, one can't help but wonder if whatForrest Aguirre has really done is uncover a lost masterpiece of the 18th century, edit it, clean it up, and present it for our enjoyment. Yes, there ...
First things first: I need to mention I received an ARC of this book from the author in exchange for an honest review. Heraclix was a golem (actually Frankenstein monster would be a better description) and Pomp is a fairy. The latter being immortal has practically no understanding of time, so her ...
This is a solicited ARC that I agreed, with much anticipation, to read and fairly review. Full disclosure thingy you know. Now that all the ethical things are out of the way.

In fact, I've taken my first-published Gargoyle work as the title story in my e-chapbook collection Fossiloctopus. So I'd be ungrateful if I didn't acknowledge some debt there to Peabody's good taste.Still...

I feel that some of these authors submitted story projects that they couldn't flesh out as a full length novels and started calling them a sh...
