On Stranger Tides - SFX #259 Book Club

Today sees the release of SFX magazine issue #259, which just happens to include, as this month's Book Club feature, my review of Tim Powers' On Stranger Tides - the book that influenced the creation of my own Fighting Fantasy adventure Bloodbones more than any other.

This is my sixth Book Club piece. The complete list to date reads as follows:

SFX #219 - Alice's Adventures in Wonderland
SFX #225 - The Warlock of Firetop Mountain
SFX #232 - The Tripods Trilogy
SFX #239 - The Haunting of Toby Jugg
SFX #254 - The Iron Man
SFX #259 - On Stranger Tides

Hopefully Tin Man Games and Snowbooks will be pleased. ;-) 

SFX #254

The latest  issue of SFX is rather a special one for me, as it turns out.

I've known my Book Club piece on Ted Hughes' The Iron Man was going to be in there for a while.

I also had an inkling that a write-up of Fighting Fantasy Fest 2014 might appear as part of Event Horizon.

However, I had no idea that friend of Fighting Fantasy, and this blog, Group Editor-in-Chief Dave Bradley, would have this on his bio bit this month...

SFX Book Club: The Haunting of Toby Jugg by Dennis Wheatley

The latest issue of SFX magazine (#239) is now out and includes a piece by Yours Truly, assessing the impact and importance of Dennis Wheatley's occult thriller, The Haunting of Toby Jugg.

So why not pick up a copy of the mag today and let me know what you think of my assessments and opinions?
