For most, Bayfield is a quaint, unassuming harbor town. For some, the decades-old headlines alleging unexplainable sightings of strange creatures in the water tell a different story. For a select few, the truth behind these legends, speculations, and folklore is more than a mere mystery: There’s magic in the bay.

Excellent Storytelling
Revisado: 10-25-23
Michael Thompson has created a wonderful, colorful, imaginative world in Winslow Hoffner's Incredible Encounters. Each chapter is an entertaining blend of characters and story centered around a different cryptid each time. Thompson's descriptions are detailed and thematic, and his narration of the tales makes them truly immersive. A well done collection!

Paul Schumann, a German American living in New York City in 1936, is a mobster hitman known as much for his brilliant tactics as for taking only "righteous" assignments. But then Paul gets caught. And the arresting officer offers him a stark choice: prison or covert government service. Paul is asked to pose as a journalist covering the summer Olympics taking place in Berlin. He's to hunt down and kill Reinhard Ernst - the ruthless architect of Hitler's clandestine rearmament.

No Translation Necessary
Revisado: 08-20-19
I particularly enjoyed this book, but one thing always distracted me: many German words were translated. This is a book of Nazi Germany. It is the Third Reich, not the Third Empire. Grunenstrasse is Green Street, not Grunen Street, but should be left in German. Riechsfuhrer-SS is not Chief of Police, Unter den Linden should be called that, not Under the Lindens, etc.
I enjoyed the characters and the plot progressed well.

Daniel Carter used to be a homicide detective, but his last case - the hunt for a serial killer - went wrong in strange ways and soured the job for him. Now he's a private investigator trying to live a quiet life. Strangeness, however, has not finished with him. First, he inherits a bookstore in Providence from someone he's never heard of, along with an indignant bookseller who doesn't want a new boss.

Excellent Homage to H.P. Lovecraft
Revisado: 01-22-18
Carter & Lovecraft is an amazing story in the tradition of HPL. It is well written, has engaging characters, lots of philosophical and metaphysical questions, and the proper ratio of weird and real. One of the best new Lovecraftian tales I have ever read.

For millennia men have strutted their pride over the fragile surface of the Earth, arrogantly proclaiming themselves masters of creation. But now their feeble investigations have disturbed the planet's original rulers far beneath the globe's crust.

My Favorite Mythos Tome
Revisado: 11-04-17
The Burrowers Beneath was the book that hooked me on the Cthulhu Mythos all those years ago. Not only is it a terrific story, it’s a great introduction to all things Cthulhu.
The Burrowers Beneath is written to more modern tastes than the work of Lovecraft and his correspondents, and offers something seriously lacking in the canon: the heroes have a chance.
I wholly recommend the audiobook. Simon Vance does an expert job conveying the distinctions between the various characters in Lumley’s masterpiece.

Enforcer Silhouette returns to tackle another interplanetary mission by the order of the tenacious Senator Folami. Colonization on Thuun has come to a halt, and its residents have gone silent. Silhouette joins a team of terraformation specialists and ragtag mercenaries in an effort to bring the facility back online. The crew expects to find death and destruction, but what they discover is madness. When one of the scientists goes missing, Silhouette follows the trail to an underground labyrinth that may hold the answer to Thuun's mysteries.

A Good Solid Story
Revisado: 06-02-17
Deceit of Humanity is an engaging read with believable characters and a gripping plot. The protagonist, Silhouette, is three-dimensional and her thoughts and feelings are integral to the story. Her experiences are described in a real and believable manner. I am not a sci-fi enthusiast, but enjoyed this book. The integration of technology was seemless, believable, and not over-powering.
Zehra Jane Naqvi's accent adds a degree of exotic, other-worldliness to the presentation that enhances the experience.
