Interview With Dahlia Adler, Editor of His Hideous Heart
This week, Bookish Valhalla has had the honor of participating in Flatiron’s Blog Tour for the upcoming release of HIS HIDEOUS HEART, an anthology collection of retellings inspired by Edgar Allan Poe.

Prowling The Darkness | A Blog Tour Review
Stephen Zimmer’s Prowling The Darkness is a novella worthy of a read. It’s a perfect fit for anyone with a taste for high fantasy and for those on the hunt for a badass female assassin unafraid to claim her desires — or face down foes.

Q&A With Peter Roe, Composer Of Cinematic Electronic Music
