Retro Review: Cash by Johnny Cash

July 14, 2017 by Jon Del Arroz Leave a Comment

I don’t read a ton of biographies, auto or otherwise. Many of them come across as very dry as they recount events in life chronologically, and no matter how well done that is, it can get boring. The ones that really stand out are the ones that put the feeling and soul of a person […]

Review: Netflix’s Castlevania

July 10, 2017 by Jon Del Arroz Leave a Comment

A lot of buzz about this animated program over the weekend, and I promised I’d watch it and review. This is based on the old Nintendo games, an action/horror thriller that was very intense when I was a kid, even on the 8-bit system. Naturally there’s been a lot of Castlevania games over the years, […]

Drown The Cat – The Writer’s Guide For The #PulpRevolution

July 7, 2017 by Jon Del Arroz Leave a Comment

  Doing a post on writing advice this morning reminded me of a new release this week, something that flies in the face of conventional “how to write” guides, focusing on dialing in the passion of a writer. Drown The Cat quite intentionally parodies the title of Save The Cat, the writing guide that so […]

Review: Wandfasted by Laurie Forest

July 6, 2017 by Jon Del Arroz Leave a Comment

I’ve been saying that within 2 years, Laurie Forest will be one of the biggest, most respected names in fantasy. Her new novella, Wandfasted, will go a long way toward making that reality. It’s a longer novella, almost full novel length, which is good bang-for-your-buck in terms of entertainment/cost value. And actually, it’s almost two […]

Anthology Review: Straight Outta Tombstone

July 5, 2017 by Jon Del Arroz Leave a Comment

Straight Outta Tombstone – edited by David Boop.  Between the title and the cover, it didn’t take much for me to be salivating over buying this. I’m a big fan of the Weird West, as many folk know, going back to my work on Doomtown Reloaded for the Deadlands RPG universe. Add in some of […]

#SteampunkMonth Review: Everland by Wendy Spinale

June 30, 2017 by Jon Del Arroz Leave a Comment

I went into Everland not knowing what to expect. I saw steampunk wings on a cover, heard it was a Peter Pan retelling but Steampunk, and that was enough to get me in the door. It turns out it’s more of a “twisted fairy tale” which I found out afterward is a genre in and […]

#SteampunkMonth Retro Review: 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea

June 9, 2017 by Jon Del Arroz Leave a Comment

I had originally thought that this would a short read, something quick that I could get into and show its influence on the streampunk genre, as in steampunk communities, this book is talked about regularly. I’d considered it proto-steampunk from my loose memory of it as a child. Perhaps its due to its attitude, just […]

#SteampunkMonth Short Story Review: Chasing Christmas Past by Melanie Karsak

June 3, 2017 by Jon Del Arroz Leave a Comment

I learned of Melanie Karsak’s Airship Racing Chronicles through a friend yesterday, and figured I’d check out the short story last night. The short is very short indeed, and it’s actually available for free on amazon, so well worth a try.  The short opened in a personal moment, a sad Christmas eve of getting drunk […]

Review: Your Name by Makoto Shinkai

May 29, 2017 by Jon Del Arroz Leave a Comment

I went into reading Your Name. thinking that it was going to be a stupid bodyswapping movie. Unfortunately, from American media, the whole “Freaky Friday” thing is so overdone in every television show – and done so poorly, that the concept jars me and makes me not want to pay any attention in the least. […]

Retro Review: Star Wars: Dark Force Rising by Timothy Zahn

May 26, 2017 by Jon Del Arroz Leave a Comment

In my review of Heir to the Empire, I called it space opera t its finest. After reading Dark Force Rising, I am sorry to report that I am wrong, because THIS is space opera at it’s finest. While Heir to the Empire did a lot to set up the story in Dark Force Rising, […]

Comic Review: X-O Manowar #3

May 25, 2017 by Jon Del Arroz Leave a Comment

Some spoilers ahead, though I left out a couple crucial details to ensure the story is still enjoyable to those who pick this up. X-O Manowar #3 picks up right where #2 left off, with Aric preparing for an outright assault on the President of the other faction. It starts out with this pretty montage […]
