Comics: Black Magick, Issue #1

The clue is in the title, but it's not what you think. The practice of magick has always raised eyebrows and has historically instilled fear into people's hearts for centuries. In this story, a modern day detective (named detective Black - a play on the title) discovers that a witchhunt is still ongoing; that the burning of witches is still being practiced, and that they know who she really is, whover "they" are.

"The Doll Life" Season Premiere Review

 "The Doll Life" Season Premiere Review

I have seen some shows that make Lolita look bad and while I am still skeptical about how this series will come together, it seems to show a bit of promise and positive light. Taking a behind the scenes approach, the show answers the curious question of most people on the outside of the J-fashion culture looking in- OMG! Did you make your clothes?!

Lenni Reviews: Three Days in April by Edward Ashton

                                                                      &nbs…

                                                                       (Image Source)

Have you ever wondered what would happen if someone rewrote The Happening and made it... Well, all around better and cool? Then welcome to the technothriller Three Days in April.

In this world, there Augmented people, non-Augmented people, AI's that can run your house, and NatSec watching through every connected device in the net as well as cameras everywhere. Augmented people can connect and download information right into their heads,  have increased speed and agility, or strength. Then one morning in April, most of the people in Hagerstown keel over and die. Then the town is turned into a smoking crater. Our main protagonist is Anders, a down and out Augmented who is perfectly happy in his mundane teaching job when his friend Doug asks him to decrypt some documents he "found" suddenly Anders is involved in a massive conspiracy against all of humanity; genetically modified or not.

When I tell you this is The Happening and Ghost in the Shell, I am not kidding. While not suicides, a bunch of people all of a sudden drop dead in a painful way and everybody understandably scrambles around like crazy people. But then we THANKFULLY flee from any Shyamalan-ian mistakes for some cyberpunk, government conspiracy goodness! Having read (and LOVED) the Avery Cates series, this novel is a tense ride that won't let you go, with an ending ripe for a continuation should Ashton decide to write one. The characters are dynamic, real, and fun in this fantastical setting. I'm glad I gave this book a read and if you like cyberpunk, I think you will too.

Three Days in April is available now as an ebook and in paperback on October 13, 2015.
