Finished “The Lost Reliquary” by Lindsay Ely.

It’s a fun fantasy novel about a special “chosen” servant of the last deity of a land who doesn’t *want* to be. A few good twists; only negative is that it is definitely the setup for more story that’s not out yet.

Another series I have to wait for the next book of!!

Startling Stories vol. 8, no. 2 (September 1942)

Love the monster with its big green cat eyes. Great choice of angles, foreshortening adds drama and brings everything together more tightly.

My friend asked me to read some bits of a new deep lore #fantasy story he's been working on, I really enjoyed what he's accomplished so far but he has a knight character named Dando and all I could imagine is the role being played by Evan Dando of The Lemonheads.

Today’s book review is of “Infernal Hearts” by Danny Haliwell. #Fantasy #MMRomance #GayBookReviews

After losing his mother in a terrible accident, Jason decides to leave his father’s practice where he treats supernatural creatures and set up as an ordinary veterinary doctor. Levi is an incubus, possibly one of the last of his kind now that his maker is dead. The maker’s last act was to extract a promise from Levi to find the only other surviving incubus. If Levi doesn’t fulfill his promise, he faces oblivion. He tracks the other incubus to the same small mountain town where Jason lives. Levi is attacked on his first night in town, and turns up severely injured on Jason’s doorstep, having mistaken Jason’s practice for his father’s. Despite turning away from magic and supernatural creatures, Jason can’t turn the fatally wounded Levi away.
