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

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!

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. 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.

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.

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?

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.

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!
