My schedule will be returning to something more like 'normal' tomorrow. Expect more content soon. I have three episodes prepped and ready! Working on the fourth. Hope to drop the first of them late tomorrow. #SFF #Fantasy #SciFi #horror www.youtube.com/@Fantasyfort...

Dad Joke Alert: My wife and I enjoy some chemistry in this one! #DadJokes #Humor youtube.com/shorts/m62xX...

Dad Joke Time: Some words can be hard to swallow! #DadJokes #Humor youtube.com/shorts/kVC1v...

Video Rec 'From the Vault': Episode from April 2025 where Zach & Jim proposed 4 great reads that could be the perfect match for when a person first finishes The Wheel of Time, and asks, "What now?" Still great suggestions! #WoT #SFF #Fantasy youtu.be/b403nATKNRY

Traveling for work this week, TERRIBLE wifi (a hotel I'd now never recommend). Throws a HUGE wrench in recording plans. No new episodes this week (hasn't happened in years!). I'll be prepping a bunch, instead. Time to explore our back catalog! www.youtube.com/@Fantasyfort...

NEW EPISODE: I've already shared the books I'd love to reread (and have!). Here's the opposite, the ones I endured, but will never read again! Will you agree? I'm pretty sure some of these will surprise you... #SFF #Fantasy #SciFi #DislikedBooks youtu.be/qbedoKh5o9U

Dad Joke Time: It can be surprising what results from a silent auction! #DadJokes #Humor youtube.com/shorts/Q3cj1...

Demon’s Rise (Jantakai Saga 2), 52%: Beyond a doubt, R.E. Sanders has done it again. This novel is SO fun to read, a delightful epic fantasy tale, building on book 1 (and the other novels in this world), but going so much further, so richer. Loving it! #Fantasy #SFF

NEW EPISODE: We’re talking DISAPPOINTING endings in SFF book series today. Here’s Jim’s 12 greatest letdowns. Will you agree? #sff #fantasy #sci-fi youtu.be/4aVazNSU-A0

Dad Joke Time: Coffee is no laughing matter. Except when it's in a dad joke! #DadJokes #Humor youtube.com/shorts/-pZ6H...

Now reading The City of Mirrors, the final book of Justin Cronin's The Passage Trilogy. Ready for the big finish! Cronin, don't let me down. #Dystopian #Apocalypse #Vampires #SFF #Fantasy #SciFi

Finished Ex-Purgatory, the 4th in Peter Clines' Ex-Heroes series. Brought a creative twist, helped us understand core characters better. Enjoyed it. 4.5 out of 5, as it lacks the narrative depth for a 5, but it's well-written & thoroughly entertaining. #SFF #Superheroes #Zombies

NEW EPISODE: Jim shares his occasional book review, but here Zach shares TEN brief reviews all in ONE episode, chatting books with his Dad. Come enjoy book content & father/son banter, and see which books you've read & agree with Zach on! #SFF #BookReview youtu.be/1ASKkrKS9Hs

Ex-Purgatory, 92%: The author took a HUGE gamble in the premise of this story. And at this point, I have to say it TOTALLY worked for me. Still have to complete the wrap up, but WOW. So great a read! #ExHeroes #SFF #Fantasy #Superheroes #ZombieApocalypse #Dystopian

Dad Joke Time: Hope you have the guts to take this one on, and manage the groans! #DadJokes #Humor youtube.com/shorts/0-MFS...

NEW EPISODE: The Girl With All the Gifts was an amazing read. But how could there be a sequel? Actually, how could I ever question it? This book was REALLY something. Check out my spoiler-lite review of The Boy on the Bridge. #SFF #Zombies #Dystopian youtu.be/DA60tjFvKnM

Dad Joke Alert: Who says getting old can't be funny? (We already know it comes with groans...) #DadJokes #Humor youtube.com/shorts/dxgpA...

NEW EPISODE: Zach & Jim get together in this episode to discuss & debate who they find to be the most OVERHYPED characters of fantasy fiction. Which of your favorites end up roasted? Or will you just agree with their wisdom? WAFO! #Fantasy #SFF #BookTube youtu.be/aH0W9_xagXI

Now reading Ex-Purgatory, Bk 4 in the set of 5 of Peter Clines' Ex-Heroes series. Relatively short novels, and an entertaining, interesting apocalyptic superhero genre mashup. This ones off to another great start. #SFF #Zombies #Superheroes

Finished The Twelve, Bk 2 of Justin Cronin's The Passage Trilogy. A worthy successor to bk 1. More action packed, less mysterious, but still with enough going on to suck one's interest in. I look forward to the finale! #SFF #SciFi #Vampires #Apocalypse #Dystopian

Dad Joke Time: Corny Jokes are A-MAZE-ing! Come see how I earn your groans today! #DadJokes #Humor youtube.com/shorts/2Nvb2...

NEW EPISODE: Here's the final of the series, highlighting the best sci-fi novels of each year that were completely overlooked by awards. We finish with the 2010s, and some INCREDIBLE books! #SciFi #SFF #BestBooks youtu.be/ufYPOGomLf0

NEW EPISODE: Jim's back with the Sci-Fi Snubs of the 2000s, awesome tales that were completely overlooked for award nominations. These are GREAT stories all sci-fi fans should know about. #SciFi #SFF #BestBooks youtu.be/YilO9qLIN80

Now beginning Demon’s Rise, book 2 of the Jantakai Saga by R.E. Sanders. It’s an ARC, but I’m slow to get to these — the book actually published end of August. Still, been out less than a month. This is my fourth novel I’ve read from Sanders — the first three were great! #SFF #Fantasy #EpicFantasy

Finished The Boy on the Bridge. Went from wondering how this could be much of anything, to thoroughly enjoying just how beautifully this story bookends the 1st one. Excellently crafted, it gave me so much to enjoy and appreciate, and so many answers. Loved it! #SciFi #Dystopian

Dad Joke Alert: Working out is no laughing matter. Or is it? #DadJokes #Humor youtube.com/shorts/ijufK...

Ahhh... my patience is soon to be rewarded. 28 Years Later releases on Netflix here in the U.S. in just two more days! #28YearsLater #zombies #horror #dystopian

The Twelve, 73%: One followers said read bk 1 of this trilogy, The Passage, skip the rest. REALLY glad I followed my completionist tendencies instead. This 2nd book is less deep, more just a great narrative, but that's what I love! Fantastic! #ThePassage #SciFi #Dystopian #horror

Dad Joke Time: A funny thing about vampires... #DadJokes #Humor #Vampires youtube.com/shorts/_HeVs...

NEW EPISODE: Jim turns to the science fiction of the 1990s here, digging into data to discover the two BEST BOOKS of each year that were passed over by award selectors and voters. Why??? Come discover some GREAT novels! #SciFi #SFF #BookRecommendations youtu.be/ZR1wnKRuc5g

Dad Joke Alert: My wife makes the most painful choices! #DadJokes #Humor youtube.com/shorts/tf8D1...

Hilarious! Our best video so far, nearly 41k views & climbing, and someone just criticized my video choices & said, "You have to work harder but you posts will be far more interesting & perhsps gain wider audiences." Ummm... thanks? LOL (spelling mistakes not mine...) #YouTube #ContentCreator #SFF

Dad Joke Time: Dog lovers may groan more than others at this one! #DadJoke #Humor youtube.com/shorts/pMY7K...

NEW EPISODE: Here's some of the best sci-fi from the 1980s, books that were immensely successful, great stories, but deemed 'not quite good enough' by the fans & critics handing out award nominations. They might be YOUR next great reads! #scifi #SFF youtu.be/HNKgBduO2go

Dad Joke Alert: YES, math can be funny. At least, in a groan-worthy way. #DadJokes #Humor youtube.com/shorts/X8zpa...

NEW EPISODE: Jim turns to the 1970s, digging into data to reveal the best 2 science fiction novels of each year that were overlooked for the big literary and SF awards (not even nominated!). Prepare to discover some gems. #SFF #SciFi #BestBooks youtu.be/dq4Dsiykufs

The Boy on the Bridge, 33%: Not entirely sure where Carey is taking this story, though I can guess the end, but so far it has been surprisingly satisfying & entertaining. I love the character work again! #scifi #dystopian

Dad Joke Time: My wife joins me to be the first to groan over this geographic bit of humor. You will likely be joining her. #DadJokes #Humor youtube.com/shorts/e3SOu...

Dad Joke Alert: This may result in groaning. Be warned! #DadJokes #Humor youtube.com/shorts/jVlwz...

That moment when a viewer finds not one, but TWO factual errors in an episode you spent HOURS researching. Glad they are watching so carefully, but DANG IT! Must... try... harder... 🤪 #SFF #ContentCreator #BeSmarter

NEW EPISODE: Right now, I want to get away from the world for a while. You also? Today's episode might help, diving into the Best Sci-Fi Novels of the 60s that were snubbed by lit & genre awards. Gems await your discovery! #SciFi #SFF #The60s youtu.be/tACdYWOC9OA

I'm sitting here in shock over the video of Charlie Kirk being shot. This just after the Ukrainian immigrant's random murder by a multi-repeat offender on a city bus in Charlotte. So much darkness right now. Praying for God's help, & for more unity in our nation. #CharlieKirk #LoveNotHate

NEW EPISODE: Jim finished another Stephen Graham Jones novel, The Least of My Scars, a psychological horror thriller. Nothing supernatural here, but perhaps all the more terrifying for it. Into a little darkness? Come check it out. @sgj.bsky.social #BookReview #Horror #Thriller youtu.be/cWa-ReLRgFo
