A Star Wars manga! Now I can happily retire and say to myself, I've seen it all. It would be funny, wouldn't it, if the thing to finally get me into manga was a Star Wars product? What a shame it isn't so; that said, I had a fun enough time with The Edge of... Continue Reading →

This novel constitutes my first experience with the non-fiction work of the great Haruki Murakami. It was a hell of a lot of fun - and now that I've read it, I feel I have a touch greater understanding of the man behind some of my favourite magical realism fiction. This book will motivate you...

I received Melokai for free as part of r/fantasy's TBRindr initiative, meant to popularize and highlight the works of independently published authors.
