Runalong Womble

A great mix of horror, fantasy and the weird combine in the novella Crawl Space by Steve Toase (but don’t read while at the dentist) https://www.runalongtheshelves.net/blog/2026/3/11/crawl-space-by-steve-toase

A delight to go back to an alternate Paris and meet Fallen Angels in the gothic fantasy The House of Shattered Wings by Aliette de Bodard https://www.runalongtheshelves.net/blog/2026/3/10/the-house-of-shattered-wings-by-aliette-de-bodard

An early reading highlight of the year awaits in the unpeeling of the mysteries of The Misheard World by Aliya Whiteley https://www.runalongtheshelves.net/blog/2026/3/9/the-misheard-world-by-aliya-whiteley

On the blog this week I was not won over by the space opera Jitterbug by Gareth L Powell https://www.runalongtheshelves.net/blog/2026/3/8/jitterbug-by-gareth-l-powell

It’s the weekend (hooray!) so it’s time to relax with a cuppa and enjoy this week’s Wombling Along of reviews and articles that caught my eye online! https://www.runalongtheshelves.net/blog/2026/3/13/wombling-along

New Review - a novella that very much took me to places I was not expecting and it is a creepy, weird and fantastical trip to enjoy. I highly recommend Crawl Space by Steve Toase out now! https://www.runalongtheshelves.net/blog/2026/3/11/crawl-space-by-steve-toase #Books

New Review - Happy publication day to the new edition of House of Shattered Wings by Aliette de Bodard - an epic tale of fallen angels, intrigue and Paris begins and is highly recommended! https://www.runalongtheshelves.net/blog/2026/3/10/the-house-of-shattered-wings-by-aliette-de-bodard

New Review - a timely tale exploring how war itself can be a form of story. I absolute loved The Misheard World by Aliya Whiteley and strongly recommend it to you! https://www.runalongtheshelves.net/blog/2026/3/9/the-misheard-world-by-aliya-whiteley #Books

Coming soon to the blog - war, memory. Nuns, referendums, angels, food and more

It’s the weekend so relax with a new Wombling Along of reviews and other things online I saw https://www.runalongtheshelves.net/blog/2026/3/6/wombling-along

I hugely enjoyed this tale for all ages in the 1980s Mystery of the Midnight Cartographers https://www.runalongtheshelves.net/blog/2026/3/5/mystery-of-the-midnight-cartographers-by-barry-nugent

I liked this fascinating tale of gods and magic The Gods Must Burn by T R Moore https://www.runalongtheshelves.net/blog/2026/3/3/the-gods-must-burn-by-t-r-moore

On the blog this week short fiction with a new magazine Adventitious https://www.runalongtheshelves.net/blog/2026/3/1/runalong-the-short-shelves-adventitious-issue-1

New Review - ultimately I felt Jitterbug by Gareth L Powell didn’t quite come together as a story as much as I wanted it to https://www.runalongtheshelves.net/blog/2026/3/8/jitterbug-by-gareth-l-powell

One of my favourite fantasy novels last year was this epic and smart tale Out now in paperback A Song of Legends Lost by M H Ayinde https://www.runalongtheshelves.net/blog/2025/4/22/a-song-of-legends-lost-by-m-h-ayinde
