What happens when a college mistake unleashes a dragon… and the consequences last for decades?In today's episode of Fantasy for the Ages, Jim reviews one of the most talked-about horror novels of 2025 — King Sorrow by Joe Hill. This massive supernatural thriller blends occult horror, folklore, and modern mythology into a sweeping story that stretches across decades. Featuring unforgettable characters, shocking twists, and a dragon unlike anything you've seen before, King Sorrow might just be Joe Hill's most ambitious novel yet.Jim dives into the book's premise, its strengths and weaknesses, the themes that drive the story, and why this nearly 900-page horror epic never seems to drag. Is King Sorrow worth the hype? And how does it compare to Hill's earlier novels NOS4A2 and The Fireman?Let's talk about it.If you enjoy discussions about fantasy, science fiction, and horror, consider subscribing to Fantasy for the Ages and joining the conversation in the comments!If you enjoy fantasy book reviews, be sure to like the video, subscribe to the channel, and check out our Patreon to help support Fantasy for the Ages: patreon.com/FantasyForTheAges#JoeHill #KingSorrow #HorrorBooks #BookReview #FantasyForTheAges #SpeculativeFiction #HorrorFiction #DarkFantasy #BookTube #SFFBooksWant to purchase books/media mentioned in this episode?The Fireman: https://t.ly/EqQPyKing Sorrow: https://t.ly/rucBoNOS4A2: https://t.ly/X7CXyWays to connect with us:Follow Jim/Father on Goodreads: https://www.goodreads.com/user/show/13848336-jim-scriven Join us on Discord: https://discord.gg/jMWyVJ6qKk Follow us on "X": @Fantasy4theAges Follow us on Blue Sky: @fantasy4theages.bsky.socialFollow us on Instagram: fantasy_for_the_ages Follow us on Mastodon: @FantasyForTheAges@nerdculture.de Email us: FantasyForTheAges@gmail.com Check out our merch: https://www.newcreationsbyjen.com/collections/fantasyfortheagesJim's Microphone: Blue Yeti https://tinyurl.com/3shpvhb4 Jim's Camera: Razer Kito Pro https://tinyurl.com/c873tc2n 0:00 - Opening1:38 - Book Details3:50 - Why Jim Read This4:33 - Spoiler-Lite Summary6:02 - 10 Reasons You May Enjoy This Book8:22 - 5 Reasons It May Not Be for You9:39 - Jim's Final Thoughts10:33 - Closing & Wrap-Up————————————————————————————Music and video elements licensed under Envato Elements:https://elements.envato.com/

Do different generations look for different things in their fantasy and science fiction stories?Today on Fantasy for the Ages, Jim and Zach explore that question by sharing SFF books and series they love… but suspect the other probably wouldn't enjoy.With nearly 30 years between their reading experiences, Jim and Zach grew up in different storytelling eras. That means different pacing expectations, different character preferences, and sometimes very different reactions to the same kinds of stories.In this episode, each of them shares five books or series they enjoy that they believe the other is unlikely to love—and then they discuss why.Along the way, Jim and Zach talk about things like:• Why some older epic fantasies feel different to modern readers• Whether pacing expectations have changed across generations• The role of flawed protagonists in storytelling• Why some classic SFF still resonates today• And why generational taste differences aren't necessarily a bad thing

Could Kings of the Wyld really be as good as people say?In this Fantasy for the Ages review, Jim finally dives into Nicholas Eames' wildly popular 2017 fantasy novel — a story about a legendary band of mercenaries getting back together for one last adventure.

Now, thanks to a gorgeous special edition from The Broken Binding, it finally rose to the top of the TBR. In this spoiler-lite review, Jim discusses the story, what makes it so entertaining, who might enjoy it most, and whether the hype surrounding this fan-favorite fantasy novel is justified.Is Kings of the Wyld a must-read fantasy classic… or simply a very fun adventure?Let's talk about it.If you've read Kings of the Wyld, be sure to share your thoughts in the comments!

Some trilogies hook us immediately with an amazing first book, expand the world and raise the stakes in book two… and then everything depends on the finale. Stick the landing and readers close the book with that perfect “ahhh, yes!” feeling. Miss the landing and suddenly the entire trilogy feels a little shaky.In this episode of Fantasy for the Ages, Jim takes a look at speculative fiction trilogies where the final book felt like a letdown for many readers, alongside trilogies that absolutely nailed the ending and delivered the payoff fans were hoping for. From legendary classics to modern sci-fi and fantasy, we're talking about the importance of satisfying conclusions, why some finales divide readers, and which trilogies truly land the plane.And of course, Jim wants to hear from you! Which trilogies do you think wrapped up perfectly—and which ones disappointed you at the finish line?

For more than a decade, the Modern Law Library has been chatting with authors about their books. But there haven't been many opportunities to talk directly with our listeners, and we want that to change. We are so excited to announce that we are launching a monthly book club series, which will appear in your normal podcast feed.  This year, we are going to be diving into The Brethren: Inside the Supreme Court, by Bob Woodward and Scott Armstrong. This book made waves when it was released in 1979, giving readers an unprecedented look into the U.S. Supreme Court chambers. Covering the 1969 to 1975 terms, The Brethren exposed the internal debates over matters like the Pentagon Papers and Roe v. Wade.  Each month, we will be reading a section of the book and inviting on a guest to discuss the issues raised. To be ready for the first book club meeting at the end of March, read the introduction and prologue! We are hoping to hear from you, so if you have a comment about the book or want to share your experiences with it, email us a written message, video or audio recording to modernlawlibrary@legaltalknetwork.com.  You can purchase a copy here and join in the discussion in our Goodreads group athttps://www.goodreads.com/group/show/1285340-modern-law-library

In this episode of Tim Stating the Obvious, titled Fix Workplace Culture: Uncommon Sense with Mel Blackwell, We welcome Mel Blackwell, a seasoned workplace culture consultant and author of Uncommon Sense: The Fight to Fix Your Workplace Culture in the Wild West of Business. We explore the workplace culture meaning, share real workplace culture examples, and discuss practical steps for how to fix workplace culture to move teams from mediocrity to greatness.   Mel draws from over 35 years as a corporate "fixer" to explain workplace culture types—from toxic environments dominated by "culture bandits," "cobras," "rattlesnakes," or "scorpions" to healthy, cohesive ones led by the "shepherd" archetype. He uses the scorpion and the frog fable and its scorpion and the frog meaning to illustrate how some people instinctively resist positive change and harm the group, no matter the cost. Leaders must protect their teams by removing these destructive influences, even if it means parting ways generously, to create a safe space where everyone can thrive.   This book reinforces the podcast's core belief: everyone deserves great leadership at work, church, or home. The conversation turns to shifting from "problem worship" to proactive problem-solving—Mel's rule of requiring a proposed solution with every issue raised empowers employees, pushes decision-making downward, and encourages calculated risks with supportive learning from mistakes.   Mel introduces uncommon sense teaching through concepts like distinguishing the main vision (destination) from the subvision (daily journey), both essential for alignment and engagement. He advocates the "best pledge," where individuals commit to being their best selves at work, home, and in the community—starting with leaders modeling accountability and high standards.   To how to overcome mediocrity and how to overcome mediocrity achieve greatness, organizations need to escape "comfortably miserable" survival mode by building trust, eliminating negativity, clarifying the journey, fostering a shared language, and enabling problem-solvers over problem-finders. Mel's book offers a blueprint for these transformations, helping leaders establish resilient cultures that drive extraordinary results through practical, battle-tested strategies rather than empty buzzwords.   Connect With Mel Blackwell: Book: https://mybook.to/UncommonSense Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GJ5QHKZ8?tag=bk00010a-20&th=1&psc=1&geniuslink=true Author Website: https://www.melblackwell.com/ Socials: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mel-blackwell-702866271 X: https://x.com/melblackwell IG: https://www.instagram.com/blackwellmel/ Goodreads: https://www.goodreads.com/user/show/198723188   Connect with Tim: Website: timstatingtheobvious.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/timstatingtheobvious YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCHfDcITKUdniO8R3RP0lvdw Instagram: @TimStating TikTok: @timstatingtheobvious LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tim-staton-04b41a271/ SKOOL Community: https://www.skool.com/timstatingtheobvious-9537/about?ref=de9c7e65d8ba4eeabc1a8eea413c125b

This episode I am reading from Daniel Rekshan's book 'Galethog the Grey's Field Guide to Anomalous Geometry' "Greetings fellow travelers, I am Galethog the Grey and this is my field guide to you. Perhaps you are lost in a Terran Matrix, those hidden hive minds have many caves! Perhaps you are stuck in a screen memory, don't forget that they key is geometric and not numeric, as your Christopher Walken once said as his played Whitely Strieber who once imagined the Grey alien form. If you haven't guessed, I am a Grey, a Tall Grey to be exact. I'm the one who controls the short Greys as they poorly perform their covert medical procedures according to my telepathic suggestion. And I'm going to teach you enough geometry to finally decode the secret messages we've marked on the skin of around half all abductees..." This book presents the mantic art of divination using anomalous geometric body marks such as from alien abductions, past lives, fairy encounters, and other supernatural sources. Half of this book is a rational and scholarly inquiry, the other half is an irrational and imaginative inquiry (channeled text from Galethog the Tall Grey Extraterrestrial Alien). The research is based on Integral Theory, which recommends mixed-methods approaches to integrate objective and subjective perspectives. While previous abduction researchers such as Hopkins and the medieval witch-hunters presented body marks evidence for supernatural visitation, this book puts forward a communication hypothesis. Anomalous geometry may be a potential source of SETI-style communications from ET/NHI civilizations. Just as many people find meaning in crop-circles, so too many meaning be found in the geometry of the strange body marks associated with alien abductions and other supernatural experiences. This book is a compliment to Missing Time Found, which presented the hypothesis that UFO missing time is like unremembered REM dreaming and that regression hypnosis is like shamanic dreamwork, arguing against the epistemology of recovered memory and for the epistemology of dreams. Galethog the Grey's Field Guide to Anomalous Geometry argues against the use of anomalous body marks alone as physical evidence for historic or physical events and argues for the use of body marks as oracles. Bio Daniel Rekshan is an integrative researcher, hypnotist, and software developer working at the frontier of dreamwork and artificial intelligence. His career bridges empirical data systems with transpersonal exploration, creating new ways to measure and collaborate with consciousness. Inspired by SETI @ Home, Daniel envisioned a distributed research network where human minds — not just machines — become the receivers. Instead of searching radio frequencies for alien transmissions, D-SETI Dreamwork searches the inner sky: analyzing patterns in distributed human dreaming through ethical AI systems now powerful enough to explore this hypothesis at planetary scale. Daniel's background spans classical liberal arts education, integral studies, and professional software engineering.

Being an entrepreneur is challenging, which is why you need the right mindset soundtracks. In this episode, I'm sharing three powerful soundtracks from my entrepreneur card deck that will help you build and scale your business. You'll discover why relationships get you the first opportunity but skills get you the second (and why you need both), how to balance the optimism required for dreaming with the realism needed for planning, and why you don't have to be the smartest person in the room if you're willing to be the bravest. After 13 years of running my own company and turning it into a seven figure business, I've learned that success often comes down to one thing: bravery. Not intelligence, not secrets, just the willingness to try, risk, fail, and try again. If you're building a side hustle, scaling a small business, or leading a team, this episode is for you.Grab your very own Soundtracks Card DeckMake sure to follow me on Instagram and share with your friends!Keep up with my book list on GoodReads!Sign up for my newsletter, Try This!Book me to speak at your event or to your team!You can grab a copy of my book All It Takes Is a Goal from your favorite bookstore or at my website!Sign up for the Remarkable You Community today!

Would today's biggest fantasy hits have survived the 1980s?In this episode of Fantasy for the Ages, we flip the script.Last time we talked about classic fantasy that might not get published today. Now we're asking the reverse question:Which modern fantasy novels would've bombed in the 80s market?This isn't about quality. Every book discussed here is outstanding. This is about publishing climate, genre expectations, and how fantasy evolves over time.The 1980s fantasy shelves were filled with:• Clear heroic arcs• Farm boys discovering destiny• Quest-driven narratives• Archetypal good vs. evil• Sweeping epic toneModern fantasy often embraces:• Moral ambiguity• Political complexity• Grimdark realism• Structural experimentation• Hard magic systems• Trauma-driven character arcsWould those trends have resonated with 1984 bookstore audiences?Let's find out.⸻Fantasy doesn't decline.It transforms.Markets shift.Readers shift.Storytelling expectations shift.The real question is:Are we better off now?Were we better off then?Or does every era bring something essential to the genre?Let's talk in the comments.Which modern fantasy do you think would've struggled in the 80s?And which 80s fantasy wouldn't survive today?If you enjoy deep dives into fantasy across generations, subscribe and join the FFTA community.

This week I'm talking to Daniel Rekshan about his book 'Galethog the Grey's Field Guide to Anomalous Geometry' "Greetings fellow travelers, I am Galethog the Grey and this is my field guide to you. Perhaps you are lost in a Terran Matrix, those hidden hive minds have many caves! Perhaps you are stuck in a screen memory, don't forget that they key is geometric and not numeric, as your Christopher Walken once said as his played Whitely Strieber who once imagined the Grey alien form. If you haven't guessed, I am a Grey, a Tall Grey to be exact. I'm the one who controls the short Greys as they poorly perform their covert medical procedures according to my telepathic suggestion. And I'm going to teach you enough geometry to finally decode the secret messages we've marked on the skin of around half all abductees..." This book presents the mantic art of divination using anomalous geometric body marks such as from alien abductions, past lives, fairy encounters, and other supernatural sources. Half of this book is a rational and scholarly inquiry, the other half is an irrational and imaginative inquiry (channeled text from Galethog the Tall Grey Extraterrestrial Alien). The research is based on Integral Theory, which recommends mixed-methods approaches to integrate objective and subjective perspectives. While previous abduction researchers such as Hopkins and the medieval witch-hunters presented body marks evidence for supernatural visitation, this book puts forward a communication hypothesis. Anomalous geometry may be a potential source of SETI-style communications from ET/NHI civilizations. Just as many people find meaning in crop-circles, so too many meaning be found in the geometry of the strange body marks associated with alien abductions and other supernatural experiences. This book is a compliment to Missing Time Found, which presented the hypothesis that UFO missing time is like unremembered REM dreaming and that regression hypnosis is like shamanic dreamwork, arguing against the epistemology of recovered memory and for the epistemology of dreams. Galethog the Grey's Field Guide to Anomalous Geometry argues against the use of anomalous body marks alone as physical evidence for historic or physical events and argues for the use of body marks as oracles. Bio Daniel Rekshan is an integrative researcher, hypnotist, and software developer working at the frontier of dreamwork and artificial intelligence. His career bridges empirical data systems with transpersonal exploration, creating new ways to measure and collaborate with consciousness. Inspired by SETI @ Home, Daniel envisioned a distributed research network where human minds — not just machines — become the receivers. Instead of searching radio frequencies for alien transmissions, D-SETI Dreamwork searches the inner sky: analyzing patterns in distributed human dreaming through ethical AI systems now powerful enough to explore this hypothesis at planetary scale. Daniel's background spans classical liberal arts education, integral studies, and professional software engineering. He trained in dreamwork, hypnosis, and transpersonal psychology while studying philosophy, symbolic systems, and contemplative traditions. Professionally, he has worked as a full-stack developer at Goodreads, a data systems architect at Community Attributes, and a technical contributor at LightNet and Archimedes Digital. He co-created the DreamWell app and has led multiple AI and visualization projects focused on extracting meaning from complex human experience. https://dseti.org/about/ https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CSXJY11R https://www.pastliveshypnosis.co.uk/https://www.patreon.com/alienufopodcastMy book 'Verified Near Death Exeriences' https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DXKRGDFP Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Are some of the greatest fantasy books ever written… “unpublishable” today?In this episode of Fantasy for the Ages, I explore 20 classic fantasy novels and series that might struggle to get traditionally published in today's market — despite being absolutely brilliant.We're talking about sprawling epics.Earnest heroism.Clear moral frameworks.Slow-burn mythic storytelling.Yes… even farm boys with destiny.This isn't about nostalgia. And it's definitely not about tearing down modern fantasy. It's about how publishing trends shift, how markets change, and how certain storytelling styles rise and fall in popularity.Would today's industry greenlight:• 1,000+ page epics?• Overtly metaphysical themes?• Clear good vs. evil conflicts?• Long-form mythic pacing?Or would they be told to trim, modernize, or “subvert expectations”?Let's talk about it.

 One of my favorite books of last year, A Light at the End of the Woods combines history and adventure and more! Listen in to learn how I mortified myself while giving a five-star review!   note: links may be affiliate links that provide me with a small commission at no extra expense to you.  Carrie Brownell's love of history and England comes through loud and clear both in her books and in our conversation. You won't want to miss it. A Light at the End of the Woods by Carrie Brownell  How much risk should a person take to protect someone who has been dead for centuries? Siblings Alice and Henry are about to find out when they head to the country with their parents for a summer holiday. The cottage the family rents near the childhood home of Lady Jane Grey is nothing like their house in Oxford, not least because it appears to harbour a maze of secrets. Alice, Henry, and their parents are determined to unravel the puzzles that have been placed in their path. But when an old woman with a mysterious past begins haunting the family's every move, they have second thoughts about continuing their holiday. This family adventure about resilience, courage, and duty in the face of adversity brings past and present together in a swirl of intrigue. The children and their parents are running out of time to make a decision that could have far-reaching effects. And someone is determined to stop the family at all costs.

Some sci-fi and fantasy films explode into franchises… and others quietly become cult classics.In today's episode of Fantasy for the Ages, I'm diving into my personal Top 10 Underrated SFF Movies Since 2000 — the films that were misunderstood, under-marketed, overshadowed, or simply never given the lasting cultural appreciation they deserve.We're talking bold sci-fi, divisive twists, box office disappointments, and films that deserve a second (or third) watch.What does “underrated” really mean in the world of speculative fiction cinema? Is it box office? Cultural staying power? Critical reception? Or just my refined and completely objective taste?

We interview master storytellers on the struggles and stories behind the first page of their books. About the guest author: Crystal King's latest book The Happiness Collector was published by Mira. King is also the author of In the Garden of Monsters, The Chef's Secret and Feast of Sorrow, which was long-listed for the Center for Fiction's First Novel Prize and was a Must Read for the MassBook Awards.

As an author and writing coach, I know that the first page of any book has to work so hard to do so much—hook the reader. So I thought to ask your favorite master storytellers how they do their magic to hook YOU.  After the first few episodes, it occurred to me that maybe someone listening might be curious how their first page sits with an audience, so I'm opening up Page One to any writer who wants to submit the first page of a book they're currently writing.  If your page is chosen, you'll be invited onto the show to read it and get live feedback from one of Page One's master storytellers.

How does an author earn double-digit commitment from a reader?In this episode of Fantasy for the Ages, Jim reveals the only 23 SFF authors he has read more than 10 novels from — ranked from the ones who just sneak in at 11 books… all the way to the author he's read a staggering 61 novels by.No novellas. No short stories.

Welcome to part two of our five part series on soundtracks! This episode is specifically for parents with kids. I'm pulling three random soundtracks from our Parents with Kids card deck and breaking down why they matter. You'll discover why you can fast forward childhood but you can't rewind it (and what that means for decisions like when to give your kid a phone), why tired beats regretful (a soundtrack my daughter taught me when she studied abroad in London), and why family shows up (even when it's a three year old's birthday party or driving a 24 foot Penske truck down the East Coast). These aren't just nice ideas. They're the repetitive thoughts that turn into remarkable actions that turn into remarkable results. If you're a parent trying to navigate the narrow window of childhood, this episode will give you language for the culture you want to create in your family.Grab your very own Soundtracks Card DeckMake sure to follow me on Instagram and share with your friends!Keep up with my book list on GoodReads!Sign up for my newsletter, Try This!Book me to speak at your event or to your team!You can grab a copy of my book All It Takes Is a Goal from your favorite bookstore or at my website!Sign up for the Remarkable You Community today!

Send a text“Finding your style” is the number one question we get asked, and the one we've asked ourselves for years. In this episode, we're diving into the real question behind it: what if it's not about finding a single aesthetic… but about uncovering your creative identity? We're celebrating the announcement of our new book, Follow Your Art, and sharing why we wrote it, what you'll find inside, and how the entire process changed the way we think about style, niching, and creative confidence. We talk about why committing to one aesthetic can feel like a cage, why effortless ideas are often your most authentic ones, and how your “secret sauce” is built from everything. We also unpack our take on “niching out, not down,” how to write an artist statement that actually feels like you, and how to market your work without feeling gross.All that and more when you listen to this episode:Why “How do I find my style?” might be the wrong questionThe difference between style and creative identity Why committing to one aesthetic feels terrifying (and limiting) The ice cream shop metaphor that reframes everythingHow to identify your creative “secret sauce” Why what feels effortless might actually be your magicThe role of childhood memories, relationships, and non-art influences in shaping your workWhat “niching out, not down” really meansWhat it was like to co-write a book over several yearsWhy creative work doesn't have to feel hard to be valuableAnd so much more! Mentioned in this episode:Follow Your Art (our new book!) https://goodtype.us/follow-your-art-book Free audiobook with pre-order https://goodtype.us/follow-your-art-book Goodreads https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/239923273-follow-your-art Connect with Katie & Ilana from Goodtype Goodtype Website Goodtype on Instagram Goodtype on Youtube We wrote a book!

Chatting with Ashlyn McKayla Ohm is always a delight. Listen in as we chat about her spin-off new series and the first book, Between Heaven and Earth. I love Avery and can't wait for you to meet her and Addisyn. note: links may be affiliate links that provide me with a small commission at no extra expense to you.  Anyone listening to Ashlyn talk about Colorado will see just how much she LOVES the Rockies.  This new series combines her love of the mountains with a love of Lakota culture and the stories she's discovered there. Between Heaven and Earth by Ashlyn McKayla Ohm In the High Country, Heaven is closer than they know... After fighting to overcome her mother's abandonment, Avery Miles is thrilled to be working at a nature center in her beloved Colorado Rockies. But when her younger sister, Addisyn, begins revisiting their past, Avery's struggle with anxiety returns—especially as Addisyn comes dangerously close to the secret Avery kept to protect her. And Avery's problems worsen when she's forced to work alongside the creative—and cocky—YouTuber Creed Running Wolf on a conservation project with a surprising link to her own past. Now, Avery is caught between Addisyn's search for the truth and the anxiety that's becoming harder to hide…and the only answer lies in the town she ran from years ago. Creed Running Wolf has always been fascinated by the Lakota concept of kapemni—a doorway between Heaven and Earth. If that doorway exists, he's sure it's not in Colorado, the place he never wanted to see again. However, as he learns Avery's story, he begins to hope he can still rewrite his own—especially as he and Avery find common ground. But when the past resurfaces and his friendship with Avery is shattered, they will both have to face everything they've tried to escape—and discover once and for all what would truly bridge Heaven and Earth. Captivating and compelling, Between Heaven and Earth is an honest yet hopeful look at the stories we tell, the secrets we keep, and the healing power of forgiveness.  To learn more, visit Ashlyn's  WEBSITE.  Also follow her on GoodReads and BookBub! wildgoosewords.substack.com Like to listen on the go?

So in this episode, I build a starter shelf for families, youth leaders, teachers, and young readers themselves.We cover:• Middle Grades (explicitly Christian SFF + Christian-friendly classics)• Young Adult (explicitly Christian + secular works with strong moral foundations)• Stories that emphasize courage, sacrifice, redemption, humility, loyalty, and hopeIf you're building a home library — or just looking for your next great read — this one's for you.

Adoption can be tough on anyone, but being a teenager adopted and moved to a new country?  Whoa... Rume Emma-Okerhe's Rains of Mercy tackles a lot of tough topics. Listen in and see why I think it's such an important book. note: links may be affiliate links that provide me with a small commission at no extra expense to you. I love books that tackle tough topics, and this one tackles loss, adoption, culture shocks, teen pregnancy, and the love of a woman who didn't give birth to you or see you grow up from a small child. How amazing is that? Rains of Mercy by Rume Emma-Okerhe A Millennial's Story of Self-discovery and Faith Tehillah loses everything in a bomb explosion. She gets adopted by strangers. She relocates a thousand seas away from the country of her birth and heart. And… then ends up with a malicious adoptive sister. She struggles with culture shocks, low self-esteem, ends up in a dodgy relationship and becomes a single mum. Will Tehillah find a way to rebuild her life, rediscover her worth, and experience the mercies of a God who loves her more than she can imagine? Will she ever accept Mrs Ezegwu as her mother? And will she stop seeing Jordan as the shorter, younger boy she could never like? Learn more about Rume on her WEBSITE and follow on GoodReads. Like to listen on the go?

What if I told you the zombie apocalypse could be… beautiful?In this Jim solo episode of Fantasy for the Ages, I review The Reapers Are the Angels by Alden Bell — a short, haunting, Southern Gothic take on post-apocalyptic horror that absolutely stunned me. At just 225 pages, this novel delivers more depth, character development, and thematic weight than many books three times its size.Going into this, I was just hoping it would be an interesting read worth my time. I didn't expect to love this. But wow. Temple may be one of the most unique and reflective protagonists I've encountered in horror fiction, and the prose? Gorgeous.In this spoiler-lite review, I cover:• Why this zombie novel feels unlike anything else in the genre• Six reasons you might love it (including the stunning prose and emotional depth)• Four reasons it may not be for everyone• Why I ultimately gave it ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐• And why the ending lingers long after you close the bookIf you enjoy thoughtful horror, Southern Gothic atmosphere, morally complex characters, and character-driven storytelling — this one deserves your attention.Have you read The Reapers Are the Angels?

Send a textHistory is back in session with an anime horror of a timeless tale told three times. The “Blood” series is an unusual story told in a unique way that isn't a rarity to discover. It's been on my list to talk about the anime so I thought I'd give it a history lesson to the screenies. Btw I'll be phrasing it differently since it doesn't have a “true” name so it'll be Blood series or called by the first title. Also also, apologies in advance for the diction changes and noises. It was caught after the sections had already been recorded or couldn't be redone. Eventually it'll be fixed. Part 1: Intro!Part 2: Blood: The Last Vampire and it's Sequel (2000)Part 3: Blood + (2005)Part 4: The ‘murian version (2009)Part 5: Blood C (2011)Part 6: Ending Support the showMy Inglorious Ink series! - https://www.amazon.com/stores/Samantha-Parrish/author/B0BNQ2D7D1?ref=ap_rdr&store_ref=ap_rdr&isDramIntegrated=true&shoppingPortalEnabled=trueI'm on Goodreads! - https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/20042112.Samantha_ParrishHow To Support The Show! - https://ko-fi.com/queenofthescreen#linkModalArticles I've written - https://vocal.media/authors/samantha-parrishMy Linktree https://linktr.ee/themysticalspacewitch Cover art by Emily Whitacre (https://teenytinycoffeebean.carrd.co/)

Have you ever been wounded by people of God, people in the church? Have you experienced church hurt and you're wondering if you should go back? Many people suffer from the place that they were meant to get healing. The people that they should be able to rely on and trust for support turned around and ended up hurting them. If you've ever experienced, experienced hurt from the church, this podcast is for you. Award-winning author, life coach, and empowerment speaker Amy Joob delves into this issue of church hurt, in which wounded people often walk away from the very community meant to offer healing and support, struggling to find hope and trust again. Amy Joob shares her own story of church hurt, and offers practical steps for pursuing healing, forgiveness, and healthy community. We discuss how to process difficult emotions like anger, shame, and betrayal, how to navigate these experiences as a family, and why it's worth seeking out true connection even after deep disappointment. Whether you're currently wrestling with church hurt or supporting someone who is, this conversation offers compassion, encouragement, and resources for taking those first steps toward restoration. Join us as we discover how to move from pain to purpose within the body of Christ. What You'll Discover: Amy Joob shares her family's deeply moving story of walking through grief and betrayal, highlighting the confusion and isolation that often accompany church hurt. Learn practical steps for seeking resolution and finding forgiveness, even when leaders falter in their responsibilities. Real-life advice on how to separate the imperfect actions of people from the true character of Jesus – and why holding onto faith matters. Wisdom for supporting your family through church-related wounds, including why kids and teenagers may respond differently and how to help them process. Guidance on knowing when it's time to look for a new church, and how to step back into community engagement without carrying bitterness forward. Encouragement for anyone facing isolation after leaving a church, with actionable tips on reconnecting and trusting again. Key Takeaways: "Don't quit. Give yourself permission to heal, but don't give up on the body of Christ." "Forgiveness is a process. Say it out loud, pray blessings over those who hurt you, and trust God with your healing." Create stability and routines for your family during difficult times – consistency can be a lifeline. Connect with Amy Joob: Looking for coaching, grief resources, or support? Amy Joob invites you to connect on amyjoob.com or find her on Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn. Final Encouragement: If you've been knocked down by church hurt, remember Amy Joob 's favorite line based on scripture: "If you get knocked down, get up again and keep going."

What if three simple phrases could transform your relationship? In this episode, I'm kicking off a brand new five part series on soundtracks by diving into the couples deck. I'm pulling three cards at random and breaking down why these soundtracks matter for your marriage or relationship. You'll discover why every good relationship costs the same exact thing (hint: it's not money), why you should never, ever ask your spouse to be your accountability partner (seriously, change that setup right now if that's you), and how crisis magnifies kindness in ways you can't imagine. Plus, I'll share why you should never make big decisions when you have crisis brain and what a double thumbs up from a stranger during COVID taught me about small gestures. Whether you celebrated Valentine's Day or not, these soundtracks will help you build a stronger, healthier, more fun relationship.In This Episode:Grab your very own Soundtracks Card DeckMake sure to follow me on Instagram and share with your friends!Keep up with my book list on GoodReads!Sign up for my newsletter, Try This!Book me to speak at your event or to your team!You can grab a copy of my book All It Takes Is a Goal from your favorite bookstore or at my website!Sign up for the Remarkable You Community today!
