The Animal in Man is a pleasant reminder that anthropomorphic fantasy, so often relegated to children's tales, is sometimes the best place to look for thoughtful studies of human nature and history. An intriguing and imaginative first look.

You don't have to be a history or fantasy buff to appreciate the talents of Gary Whitta (though it helps). I took one look at his resume and knew I'd love Abomination–and what's available for preview doesn't disappoint. It's a good price, too!

What self-respecting fantasy/horror fan hasn't daydreamed about this very premise? I can't wait to tag along with the cleverly-written An Unattractive Vampire to see Hollywood get its due for all those bad sexy vampire movies.

Right from the get-go, this book promises to have everything you loved about Terry Pratchett's work–clever phrases, lovable characters, and a silly world that takes itself very seriously,

Paramilitary groups. Armed citizens. Roaches? If the seemingly off-kilter pitch doesn't grab you, let the first chapter grip your gut in the way only well-worded first-person can., drawing you into the slow, creeping horror of this alternative Chicago.

The title struck me as a bit lofty, but what you'll find in the first chapter is down-to-earth sci-fi with just the right amount of cheek.

The opening pages are the perfectly on-the-nose sort of thing you'd expect from a book of this title, in this genre. Looking forward to getting better acquainted with Mr. Butler's madness, as this one will surely reach its funding goals.
