6/29/06 REVIEW: American Gods by Neil Gaiman
Review by Violet Kane
https://www.arwz.com/zinereviewVIO31.html
In this novel, Gaiman weaves character, concept, humor and drama into a balanced whole. American Gods is precisely what an alternative reality novel should be.
6/28/06 POETRY: Madness
by Jon Ayre
https://www.arwz.com/zinepoetryJAR1.html
For on that journey, madness waits, / To blur the lines of joy and sorrow, / To mark the days beyond tomorrow
6/27/06 REVIEW: The Darkness That Comes Before by R. Scott Bakker
Review by S.K. Slevinski
https://www.arwz.com/zinereviewSKS21.html
It is when I read books like R. Scott Bakker's The Darkness That Comes Before that I realize how rare truly good fantasy is. The opener of Bakker's Prince of Nothing trilogy fits that definition precisely.
6/22/06 REVIEW: Stargate SG-1 Season 1 on DVD
Review by Violet Kane
https://www.arwz.com/zinereviewVIO30.html
The first season of Stargate SG-1 on DVD should be a crowd pleaser for both avid science fiction fans and casual viewers, mixing series-arching stories and episodic plots.
6/21/06 POETRY: Sprite
by M. Marinda
https://www.arwz.com/zinepoetryMMA1.html
Slow as the trickles / fast as the streams / the salmon it tickles / gives it its dreams
6/20/06 COLUMN: Reading List: Historical Fantasy
Article by S.K. Slevinski
https://www.arwz.com/zinearticlesLIST1.html
Increasingly, fantasy novels have been ignoring wizards, unicorns, elves and fairies in favor of human characters and milieus inspired by real-life historical settings. Magic is put on the back burner while character conflicts and political entanglements drive the story.
6/15/06 REVIEW: The Crystal City by Orson Scott Card
Review by Violet Kane
https://www.arwz.com/zinereviewVIO29.html
Orson Scott Card's newest novel in the Alvin Maker series has everything I look for in a good fantasy story. I am hoping that new writers and currently publishing authors take his example.
6/14/06 POETRY: Late Night Drive
by Brian Fanelli
https://www.arwz.com/zinepoetryBRF1.html
Air stinks of gasoline and dust, / as we pull into a driveway, / away from revealing city lights.
6/13/06 REVIEW: Bound in Blood by David Thomas Lord
Review by Nickolas Cook
https://www.arwz.com/zinereviewNIC3.html
With Bound in Blood (the first part of a proposed quintet) author David Thomas Lord shows us the best and worst faces of erotic horror.
6/8/06 REVIEW: The Historian by Elizabeth Kostova
Review by Saundra Kane
https://www.arwz.com/zinereviewSAK4.html
I would recommend this book to anyone willing to commit to a long and intriguing tale.

Interview by Violet Kane
https://www.arwz.com/zineinterviewJS.html
In his debut novel, Beneath a Marble Sky, John Shors combines poetry, love and history for a tale captivating to alternative reality and mainstream readers alike.
