“Whatever makes you think a few buildings brings about a civilized human being?”
I have a soft spot for weird westerns. I enjoyed this story of mysterious monsters facing off against mysterious monsters. The backstory of the albino mulatto cryptozoologist who is transforming into an unknown creature is a great story of its own. And is Crowley some kind of Faust? This story deserves a book or at least a novella.
That was everything I wanted: humor, action, adventure, combat, an unexpected kinship. It was cinematically entertaining! Now I need to read some Joe Ledger.
*I subsequently read three Joe Ledger books but only liked the first one.
A supernatural MIB story with more bureaucracy than style. Still, there was some memorable imagery, vampires with heads that can bail by floating away?!?!
That was freaky goodness!
An army of the undead colonized of India taken on the English and Scottish troops devastating their land. Exciting stuff!
Himmler’s special SS occult team unearths a secret beneath a Russian monastery and unleashes a wrathful baby Cthulhu! It was over too soon, the baby needed to grow more.
A fast and furious beginning as a covert team attempts to rescue a young woman lost to the mysterious cult ripped from the early work of H.P. Lovecraft!
A glory hound cavalryman faces off with a thunderbird. He won’t live to see the fortune in peddling the hide.
Little Johnny Jump-Up by Christine Morgan ★★★☆☆
That was an ok story of a ghost who became the mascot of Civil War detachment.
Special Operations Interview PTO-14 by Wayland Smith ★★★☆☆
That was sad. You just saw a man do something amazing, heroic, and you shoot him. It was war. just doesn’t cover it.
Making Waves by Curtis C. Chen ★★★☆☆
Lovecraft, magic, war, and Kaju meet in a SyFy Channel historical fiction. Needless to say I loved the world building but did not like the characters.

A ghost in an abandoned temple in Laos traps all the soldiers who come to her.
A training mission at Stonehenge goes wrong when the dark god imprisoned beneath the stones awakens.
Covert Genesis by Brian W. Taylor ★★½☆☆
Read yesterday forgotten today. Something bad happens, there no ending, the characters just throw their hands in the air and say I guess we try and survive. Lame.
100,000 year story of violence over a small misplaced object. The world-building was non existent, but it was interesting to see a future where we have shrunk possibly due to climate change and scarcity.
Death at 900 Meters by Tyson Mauermann ★★☆☆☆
Sort of a zombies (or vampires?) in Gulf War story that was not enough.
Holding the Line by Eric S. Brown ★★☆☆☆
A fast, hard, and empty rabid Bigfoot story.
