Booklist gives a starred review to OCCULTATION by Laird Barron: – "In every tale, everything heard and unheard, seen and unseen becomes creepier and creepier. The protagonists try to escape by drinking, drugging, fighting, fucking, even fleeing. Yet it’s doubtful any of their gorgeously scary stories has much of a sequel."

SFRevu reviews THE SHADOW PAVILION by Liz Williams: – "Somehow Liz Williams blends occultist, near-future, detective action, with eastern mythology, lovely prose and giggles. No easy feat. This makes The Shadow Pavilion a lot of fun but a tough place to jump aboard. I recommend starting at the beginning with Snake Agent. However, fans of [...]
