When a Series Ends: Featuring interviews with Tatiana Obey, N.C. Scrimgeour, and Zack Argyle

4 days ago | beforewegoblog.com | James Lloyd Dulin |Beth Tabler

When people have asked me what it feels like to have finished my first trilogy, I don’t know how to respond. I never sat down to take stock of what it meant to finish and publish my first book. Everything in the realm of publishing has been a race towards this end since January 2023. Now that I’m here, it only feels like only the first leg of the race. I have so many more stories to tell. My books haven’t reached enough people to rest and call this quits.
Television Review - The Last of Us season two (Pride)

5 days ago | beforewegoblog.com | C.T. Phipps |Beth Tabler

THE LAST OF US season two was…okay. If that sounds like I’m soft pedaling the opening to a negative review, well, then you are extremely perceptive. The Last of Us season one was one of the best, if not the best, video game adaptations of all time. The only real competition I would say it has is the Fallout show and that is an entirely different genre despite them both being post-apocalypse science fiction programs.
Review - Deep Roots by Ruthanna Emrys (Pride)

5 days ago | beforewegoblog.com | C.T. Phipps |Beth Tabler

“Wicked for the Cthulhu Mythos” —Seanan McGuire on the Innsmouth LegacyRuthanna Emrys’ Innsmouth Legacy, which began with Winter Tide and continues with Deep Roots, confronts H. P. Lovecraft’s Cthulhu Mythos head-on, boldly upturning his fear of the unknown with a heart-warming story of found family, acceptance, and perseverance in the face of human cruelty and the cosmic apathy of the universe.
Pride Month Recs- The Innsmouth Legacy by Ruthanna Emrys

6 days ago | beforewegoblog.com | C.T. Phipps |Beth Tabler

I’m a huge fan of Ruthanna Emrys’ work and think she’s the perfect author for Pride Month to highlight. Not just because I love her work as a fellow Cthulhu Mythos author but because she just has such a wonderful message of fortitude in the face of adversity.
Villainous & Vulnerable: A Swoonworthy Return to Evil, a Review of Apprentice to the Villain by Hannah Nicole Maehrer

1 week ago | beforewegoblog.com | Beth Tabler

If Assistant to the Villain by Hannah Nicole Maehrer was a breath of fresh air, then Apprentice to the Villain is a full-on swoon, clutch-your-heart, scream-into-a-pillow moment. The second installment in the series dials up the tension—those long, lingering looks where someone might get caught. The accidental hand touches that last a beat too long. And when the leads finally lock eyes? Reader, I had to take a cold shower. That’s the energy Maehrer brings in book two.
Review: The Lineman by Christina K. Glover

1 week ago | beforewegoblog.com | Esmay Rosalyne |Beth Tabler

You know, The Connections series has been excitingly unique and unpredictable from the very start, but I somehow still wasn’t prepared for the number of surprises that Christina K. Glover had in store in The Lineman. It takes all the best elements of the previous two books and just weaves every single thread together in one hell of an epic finale full of action, emotion, heart, and hurt.
Cthulhu Armageddon and The Tower of Zhaal are on sale for 99c

1 week ago | beforewegoblog.com | C.T. Phipps |Beth Tabler

Hey folks,I’m pleased to say that CTHULHU ARMAGEDDON and THE TOWER OF ZHAAL (Cthulhu Armageddon #2) are on sale for 99c on Kindle for the rest of May! Same for the anthology companion to the books, TALES OF AN ELDRITCH WASTELAND. A post-apocalypse lovecraftian adventure series where the protagonist must choose between life as a monster and merciful death as a man with revenge perhaps being the thing that tips the scales either way.
Review: The Eye of the Bedlam Bride by Matt Dinniman

1 week ago | beforewegoblog.com | Esmay Rosalyne |Beth Tabler

You would think that Dinniman would run out of new ways to keep this insane dungeon crawling adventure exciting at some point, but ooooh no, instead The Eye of the Bedlam Bride might just be the best and most refreshing instalment in the series yet. What can I say that I haven’t already said before? This series just has absolutely zero business working as well as it does, and yet here we are.
COVER REVEAL: The Lineman by Christina K. Glover

1 week ago | beforewegoblog.com | Esmay Rosalyne |Beth Tabler

GRASPING AT THREADSIf there’s one thing Henley Yu has learned, it’s that nothing is easy when it involves Chief Operator Kittinger. The pair can finally face the world together, focused on the pursuit of the Ethereal lord who escaped into the Actuality. This time the mortal world won’t be a silent victim, and Kit and Henley will hunt their quarry with the help of mages who have plenty to lose. But Kit punched through something he shouldn’t have in the battle for the Order Headquarters.
A Mouth of Magic: A Review of The Secret Lives of the Nine Negro Teeth of George Washington

1 week ago | beforewegoblog.com | Beth Tabler

P. Djèlí Clark has firmly established himself as a master of short fiction. Known for his lush worldbuilding and layered explorations of myth, history, and justice, Clark’s stories often feel bigger than the space they occupy. The Secret Lives of the Nine Negro Teeth of George Washington, published in Fireside Magazine in February 2018, is no exception.
