Literary journey of an office career escapee
It is seldom that I can enjoy a story whose main character doesn’t have a single redeemable quality. When this is the case, only a writer of the highest calibre can make me interested in the book. Will Tinkham, undoubtedly, is such a writer. While he didn’t make me like Danny Coover/Slaughter, his eloquent narrative,... Continue Reading →
What would you do if left out on the streets, having been thrown out of the not-always-soft but still cosy cocoon of a family home? For many, it would be a kind of blow from which they’d never recover. Used as we are to everyday comforts, most people would give up before trying. Shay Thorton... Continue Reading →
Will Tinkham did it again. Swept me off my feet and into yet another totally immersive story, where the characters feel real rather than fictional and America becomes intimately familiar rather than a faraway continent across the ocean. “The Cary Grant Sanatorium and Playhouse” is the ninth book in Will Tinkham’s Americana series that I’ve...

A beginning and a continuation at the same time. That’s how reading this author’s newest release felt like to me. Having read all Lubov Leonova’s novels set in the magical setting of the land inhabited by mages and the Incapables – people without magic powers – it was gratifying to learn about the fates of the characters...

Genavine’s life has never been easy. Not since she was sixteen and an apocalypse had turned her world upside-down. The army killed her parents and so many other people that the city became unrecognisable. Then, the government disappeared, and with them, the army, and, seemingly, any hope the survivors had left. How could young Gena... Continue Reading →
I have always thought about the horror genre as something that is focused on making readers’ spines go cold with terror and their stomachs churn with nausea. Zombies chewing on the entrails of innocent passers-by. The more gore, the better. A multi-genre reader as I am, I seldom choose horror. I do venture into the... Continue Reading →
A huge fan as I am of Kelly Miller’s work, the fact that I’ve already read the story of the angel of death coercing Mr Darcy into entertaining him as his guest at Pemberley so that he could study the mortals’ ways didn’t stop me from purchasing this book. I loved the original version, ‘Death... Continue Reading →
I cannot get enough of Will Tinkham's Americana series. Having read eight books, I plan to read the remaining five over the course of the upcoming summer. And then, I’ll be waiting – impatiently! – for him to release new ones. The Americana series is a sweeping saga at its best. It pulls you into... Continue Reading →
This book comprises what I appreciate the most in my reading: the rich setting and intricacies of human fates. Going about their day with the characters, doing their chores, feeling what they feel, be it joy, confusion, sadness, or grief, transforms me from a reader to a participant. And that, in turn, transforms a book into... Continue Reading →
This is the seventh book in the Americana series by Will Tinkham that I have read, and I definitely don’t plan to stop until I read them all. Thanks to the author’s immaculate skill, each story fuels my desire to learn more about the diverse set of characters he created. On the pages of this... Continue Reading →
