A YouTube Review by Well-Read Beard

On By griffinwordsIn Internet Destinations, Words OutLeave a comment

Well-Read Beard is another reviewer who does YouTube reviews, similar to Jason White who also reviewed Armageddon House not long ago.

If you’d asked me a year ago, do I want to read book reviews or watch them on YouTube, I would’ve said I’d rather read them. Having said that, I now find that I enjoy watching and listening to a reviewer show and talk about a book in their own voice. I’m sold on this format for a review, and not just because Well-Read Beard and Jason White both said nice things about the book!

Because it’s a video review, you should probably just watch it rather than reading me talking about it. My thanks to Well-Read Beard!


Oh, and if you prefer to read reviews rather than watch them on YouTube, you can find what Well-Read Beard said on Goodreads here:

Polish Translation of Armageddon House Coming From Wydawnictwo IX

On By griffinwordsIn Words Out2 Comments
I’m pleased to announce that publisher Wydawnictwo IX out of Poland will be undertaking a Polish-language translation of Armageddon House to be published this year. In addition to paperback and e-book versions, there will also be a limited edition hardcover.

In addition to publishing fiction by Polish writers, they also publish translations of writers like Robert Aickman, August Derleth and H.P. Lovecraft… and me.

The English-to-Polish translation will be done by Tomasz Chyrzyński. This will will be the first instance (at least to my knowledge) of my work being translated into any foreign language, so it’s exciting news. I realize most existing readers of my work do not read Polish, but I love the idea of people in another part of the world encountering my work for the firs time. My thanks to Wydawnictwo IX and Tomasz Chyrzyński for making this happen.

Armageddon House Review on Jason’s Weird Reads

On By griffinwordsIn Internet Destinations2 Comments

Jason White just reviewed Armageddon House on his YouTube book reviews channel, Jason’s Weird Reads.

I don’t want to spoil the review by quoting too much of it here, but I’ll just say that Jason used the phrase, “Bloody brilliant.”

Here’s a link, and I’ll embed the video below that.
