Book launch: All the Other Days by Jack Hartley
By Alina11/12/2018
It's not often you get to attend the launch of a book written both by a local debut author but also by someone barely into their twenties. Book publishing is a competitive business and the path to publication can be slow and dispiriting (for those that make it there at all), so it's an impressive…

Dan recommends: The best of fiction
By devilstatedan11/12/2018
Another year is coming to a close and it gives me pause to think about what an amazing year it has been for fiction! We've been bestowed with such a wealth of quality new releases, from longstanding authors continuing to deliver, debuts of such genius it boggles the mind, sequels that have been waiting more…

By missbeecrafty10/12/2018

We read our way through all the Pony Club Secrets books as I (and other members of my family) bought them for her as Christmas and birthday presents. Miss Missy quickly become…

Further First World War stories
By katccl07/12/2018
Although the commemorations marking the centenary of the First World War have come to an end, the war continues to be remembered and its stories continue to be told. The war is a huge, big subject which sometimes, to me, feels too massive to truly comprehend. Therefore it really is those individual or local stories…
Dracul – viscerally visual
By fionaccl07/12/2018
The characters and scenes in this story remain imprinted on my mind's eye. Dracul has not been written like a screenplay but it would make a sumptuously surreal film. Dracul Dracul is written by J.D. Barker in collaboration with Bram Stoker's Great Grand-Nephew, Dacre Stoker. The authors' note (p.483) asserts that this is the story that was left out of the…
The Other Side of Christmas

As well as family gatherings, stuffing ourselves with turkey, Uncle (insert name here) with one too many glasses of bubbly aboard regaling us with heroic tales of his long-gone youth and opening presents, as with all things in life, Christmas has its…
