James is enthusiastic about these two excellent #weirdfiction #horror collections. One from @undertow.bsky.social and the other from @kegedoncepress.bsky.social www.theseaboardreview.ca/p/reading-we...

"Here we have the magic of Lost Signal, a book that resists certainties, denying that its meanings can ever be entirely found." Dawn Macdonald reviews LOST SIGNAL, #poetry by Chris Hutchinson, published by @palimpsestpress.bsky.social. www.theseaboardreview.ca/p/chris-hutc...

"...a richly absorbing novel." A review of THE BOUTIQUE HOTEL by Melissa MacKinnon, a cozy mystery with some deeper threads in the narrative, is reviewed by James. www.theseaboardreview.ca/p/the-boutiq...

“Despite the title of the book, Harvey-Clark’s tales are of more than sharks, ranging from the aforementioned clams to beavers to electric torpedo rays.” @benjaminwrites.bsky.social reviews this #nonfiction title from @pottersfieldpress.bsky.social. www.theseaboardreview.ca/p/in-search-...

“Outpacing its own snails, Endling is a metafictional novel that plays fast with fact and fiction, Reva and Yeva, history and fantasy.” Michael Greenstein reviews ENDLING, another longlisted #Booker title for The Seaboard Review of Books. www.theseaboardreview.ca/p/endling-by...

James' review of UNCERTAIN SONS is coming soon, but all indications are it's a 5 star #weirdfiction collection.

“Throwback Thursday” is back (for now)! @melaniejackson5656 looks at this great summer read. “No spoilers, except to say that the enchanting Summer has some shocking plot twists, the latter including a final line that’s one of the best ever in a novel.” www.theseaboardreview.ca/p/revisiting...

Tickled to have my take on #Antifa, #GordHill's updated history of #antifascism, named🌟review in @theseaboardreview.ca. Hill's vivid, clever illos & captions are at once appealing, inspiring & worrying. But info is power, as fascies know, so go, Gord! @arsenalpulp.bsky.social iny.one/1MtKw9

James is almost finished with Uncertain Sons and he can confirm the weirdness.
