The Garden of Doubt on the Island of Shadows

Click here to see the book on Goodreads rating: 4 of 5 starsThere is something elegant and yet simple about this chapbook from ISMs Press. It’s presence is undoubtedly raw. The sole flower on its cover is beautiful and unimposing; the text clean and easy to read, yet haunting. This is the story of a missing musician and a love that reaches across the grave (but not in your stereotypical manner). The plot revolves around a secret island, ghostly in its almost-here/almost-not-here ambience, and the protagonist’s journey there to find her lover. Of course, find him she does, but he’s not quite what she expected. A superb promise of things to come. View all my reviews.

Book Review Up: Stardust by Neil Gaiman

Well, after writing this review, Neth over at Nethspace made a lovely suggestion on how to review book you really love. Just say: Buy it! So, I’m going to say that here, because Stardust was absolutely wonderful. However, you’re welcome to read my in-depth review here (which I suggest, because it’s nice to drive traffic to a great book reviewing blog that I am a part of). Anywho!
