Nana – by Mark Towse – Book Review
Hi everyone! I’m reviewing ‘Nana’ today, and it will be spoiler-free. Uhhhh so, this book is about… it’s….. um. Nana is a savage but hilarious masterpiece. No, I’m not joking. This is the sort of thing I think Angry Goat would enjoy, and I’ve got no idea what I was expecting from the cover or…

Rime – by Tim Lebbon – Book Review
This is mostly a non-spoiler review – and by mostly, I mean I have to give away one fairly huge detail in order to talk about the book, because it’s related to the story-telling mechanics. I personally don’t think this will ruin the story, but if you’d rather go in blind, don’t read this review…

Hearthstone Cottage – by Frazer Lee – Book Review
Hey Kids! I hope you’ve all been having a great month. November is drawing to a close, and we’ve been frantically trying to finish reading the (quite large) pile of novellas submitted to us. During the frenzy, I managed to get to this one before the other goats got their grubby hooves on it, and…

Still Life – by Tim Lebbon – Book Review
Sup, my goat brethren. I’ve been told off for giving spoilers in my reviews so I won’t do it here… this time. Jolly Goat usually snaps up the novellas, the greedy little sh**, but when I saw this in Goat Leader’s TBR pile, I snatched it away before Jolly could get their dirty, grabby little…

Downwind, Alice – by C.C. Adams – Book Review
Hey, kids! I’m excited to share my review of Downwind, Alice today because…. yessssss YESSSSSSSS finally! One of my favourite subgenres!! This is a non-spoiler review, which is really difficult because I’d love to dissect this story in greater detail. Book TW: Rape (the word is used, but there are no depictions of it and…

Book TW: SA (rape) and suicide (both mentioned but neither are depicted). “Tapping at his window, perching atop his daughter’s grave, why will the crow not let Patrick mourn in peace? According to superstition, a single crow is an omen of bad things to come, so why does…

The Reach of Children – by Tim Lebbon – Book Review
Hi Kids! As usual, this is a non-spoiler review. There’s a good reason that this book won the British Fantasy Award (2009). Daniel is ten years old when his mother dies. She dies young, and with so much left to give. He does not understand. He cannot let her go. After the funeral, his father…
