Keval Shah fully understands the assignment when he narrates this funny, sexy, action-packed story of good vs. evil. Or dim vs. dimmer, as the case might be. It's never a good day when one wakes up with no memory and then learns one is an evil wizard. With all the problems his previous self left him with, Dread Lord Gavrax has picked a fine time to start being "good." Shah's cheeky tone and British accent set the scene beautifully in this completely unserious fantasy world.

We’re thrilled to share an excerpt from Caitlin Rozakis’s debut high fantasy farce Dreadful, out from Titan Books on May 28th. It’s bad enough waking up in a half-destroyed evil wizard’s workshop with no eyebrows, no memories, and no idea how long you have before the Dread Lord Whomever shows up to murder you horribly and then turn your skull into a goblet or something. It’s a lot worse when you realize that Dread Lord Whomever is… you.

Nathan’s review of Dreadful by Caitlin Rozakis The tl;dr: Dreadful is a witty and fun cozy-ish fantasy that delightfully and lovingly pokes fun at the tropes of epic fantasy – especially everything to do with the big-bad villains. Readers will find a lot to love with goblin henchmen, kidnapped princesses who are not damsels in distress, garlic festivals, thwarted plots, people being turned into roosters, and more.

The Spellshop by Sarah Beth DurstI couldn’t wait any longer to check out The Spellshop because I was dying for a good cozy fantasy!! I’ve read about half of this and I am really loving it, especially Caz the sentient spider plant!Dreadful by Caitlin RozakisIf I finish up The Spellshop in a reasonable amount of time (which I expect I will), I’m going to check out Dreadful. This sounds like a lot of fun – the bad guy wakes up with no memory and begins to question why he would be the bad guy anyway.
