Book Review: The Secret History of Food, by Matt Siegel

by Felix the Fox (Assaph Mehr) on February 9, 2022December 23, 2021

I love history, I love food, I love the food in history (and as a reader of this blog you’re probably aware of – and share – this passion) — so naturally this book held a great appeal. What to Expect Expect 10 chapters in rough chronological order about certain less well-known episodes or aspects […]

Book Review: A Night Owl Slips Into a Diner, by Douglas Lumsden

by Felix the Fox (Assaph Mehr) on January 26, 2022December 16, 2021

I loved the Southerland urban fantasy series from the moment I first came across it, so obviously jumped on this one as soon as I could. (See my previous reviews here – as well as a wonderful guest post on Meso-American things that go bump in the night!) What to Expect Expect Alex to get […]

Detecting Roman Britain

by Felix the Fox (Assaph Mehr) on January 12, 2022December 23, 2021

I sometimes wish I could visit Britain, where, it seems, Roman ruins are everywhere and you can just randomly fall on them. No, really – a UK farmer went for a walk, stumbled on remains of rare Roman mosaic and villa. Really pretty mosaics and I suggest you read that article, but this post is […]

2021 – A Review

by Felix the Fox (Assaph Mehr) on December 31, 2021December 23, 2021

Exactly a year ago I published a blog post here with the somewhat dubious title of I Quit My Job So I Could Write!. I thought I’d review how that went…

Fantasy Creatures of the Western Hemisphere

by Felix the Fox (Assaph Mehr) on December 15, 2021November 12, 2021

Readers of this blog know — and share — my fascination with unusual mythological creatures, and embedding them in fantasy books. So it gives me great pleasure to host a post about Mesoamerican critters from one of my favourite writers, Douglas Lumsden. Today celebrates the release of his latest novel, A Night Owl Slips into […]

Book Review: The Blacktongue Thief, by Christopher Buehlman

by Felix the Fox (Assaph Mehr) on December 8, 2021October 11, 2021

I first noticed this novel when Tor was promoting it, and it looked like something I’d enjoy – I’ve been in a mood for lighter fantasy recently. So, for a change, I read something in the year it was published 😅 What to Expect It’s not humorous fantasy (like say Myth Adventures), and in fact […]

TV Series Review: Domina (Season 1)

by Felix the Fox (Assaph Mehr) on November 24, 2021October 10, 2021

I’m a sucker for Roman-era fiction, so no surprises that I’d watch TV series set on the same background 🙂 What to expect The series follows the life of Livia Drusilla, Augustus’ wife and first empress of Rome. She was one of the most influential figures in politics and civic life of the early empire, […]

Book Review: For a Breath I Tarry by Roger Zelazny

by Felix the Fox (Assaph Mehr) on November 10, 2021October 11, 2021

Every so often I like to read something from the classic grandmasters of SFF, and Zelazny has always been a favourite of mine. This came up during a conversation with a friend, so I just jumped on it. What to Expect After the extinction of man, the machines he has set in place are trying […]

Book Review: A Year in the Life of Ancient Greece, by Philip Matyszak

by Felix the Fox (Assaph Mehr) on October 27, 2021October 11, 2021

I adore Matyszak’s works for bringing daily life in antiquity to the modern reader. Our perceptions of life in the classical era are influenced so much by contemporary writers that were from and concerned with the 1% plus Hollywood’s misappropriation and misrepresentation, that Matyszak’s works are a breath of fresh air. What to Expect The […]

Book Review: NPCs, by Drew Hayes

by Felix the Fox (Assaph Mehr) on October 13, 2021September 19, 2021

I was in the mood for something light and quick (and fantasy), and found NPCs languishing in my TBR pile. Now I’m glad I pulled it out 🙂 What to Expect When a group of careless adventurers dies in a local pub from mushroom poisoning, a few of the locals decide to impersonate them rather […]
