Olmsted, The Newspaper Axis: Six Press Barons Who Enabled Hitler
“Kathryn Olmsted’s work provides a timely and incisive analysis of four American and two British press lords, united in their isolationism, appeasement towards fascism, and proclivity to use their media apparatus and larger-than-life personalities to forcefully promote their politics.”

“Where do national myths originate? They do not emerge by happenstance. Rather their creation and spread are an exercise of power. Influential historical actors, from antebellum slaveholders to the moguls of Hollywood and those Slotkin calls the ‘political classes’, have attempted to develop and disseminate broadly acceptable myths to serve their own interests.”
Just posted a review of Death Holds the Key, the 2nd Itinerant Mendicant novel by Alexander Thorpe:
Slightly on the cosier side, the personalities, and interactions between the two main characters is a big part of the attraction of DEATH HOLDS THE KEY.

TELEPORTASM is the latest (#3) in Shortwave Publishing's Killer VHS series. Joshua Millican contributes a fun tale that pays homage to the gory, glorious films of the 80's/90's with a fresh, modern take on body horror & cursed media- tapes that offer trips that tantalize and torment, with no cure for their lure.
"Filled with suspense and danger, with ghostwriters, authors past and present, love affairs that can’t be revealed, and many surprises... an excellent mystery. I can’t wait for more from Charlie and Declan! Well done."

THE TRUEST SENSE showcases Laura Keating's unique & deftly scary stories: some sneak up quietly- some gleefully go full-throttle into nightmares- but all 15 tales are atmospheric & vivid, with an aura of permeating horror that provides an imaginative, satisfying journey into the Weird.
Today's review! The Sorrow Passage by Jeremiah Cain:
"The whole series is fantastic, and transports you beyond imagination. The Sorrow Passage is a part of the new novel At the Crosswords of Thorns, another fantastic addition to the series... n outstanding story that keeps you in suspense until the very end."
The potential of lacustrine sedimentary ancient DNA for revealing human postglacial recolonization patterns in northern Sweden – a review
“The questions of who the first postglacial peoples, or pioneers, were and where they came from therefore remain unanswered. Previous palaeogenomic analyses from remains from adjacent regions have suggested that two main routes into Sweden could have been taken by the pioneers, one from the SW through modern-day Denmark and Norway, and one from the east via Finland. However, no direct genetic evidence from the pioneers of northern Sweden exists.”

Today's review! In the Dragon's Lair" by Joy Lynn Fielding:
"Another fantastic tale... I highly recommend this book - I was thoroughly entertained by it, and hope Fielding has more stories planned for the “Wings Over Albion” series."
@bookstodon My #review of Between Two Fires is now live! Definitely a horror novel, but it has a core of gentleness and kindness that I wasn't expecting, and I love it.
Today is a double day for reviews for me, because in addition to the UNFINISHED LAND review at @NerdsofaFeather , I also review NEW ADVENTURES IN SPACE OPERA at File 770

💙📚 You may presume you'll know the story that unfolds in I THINK I'M ALONE NOW, but you'll be wrong as hell. I read this novella in a single sitting: Ali Seay has written a thoroughly enjoyable, vivid, violent, deliciously dark chunk o' horror set in the 80's that's, like, totally rad. (Grindhouse Press)
