Story fragment: Avatars of Vulpran

This piece is long, so I'm putting it under a page break

Down the Stacks #33: White Sand

Normally, I draw material for Down the Stacks from my local library, and I have yet to review a graphic novel.  This week, things are different.  I was at Barnes & Noble and noticed something on one of the “special feature” tables: the name Brandon Sanderson printed across the top of a graphic novel called White Sand.  Considering my moderate obsession with Brandon Sanderson and his Cosmere, it should come as no surprise that I picked that book up without a second thought, nor that I’m about to gush about it for this week’s Down the Stacks.

Down the Stacks #32: The Desert of Souls

This week on Down the Stacks, we’ll be looking at The Desert of Souls, a story by Howard Andrew Jones that would not be out of place among the 1001 Arabian Nights.

Down the Stacks #31: Unholy Ghosts

This week on Down the Stacks, we’ll be hitting up a dark, urban fantasy set in an alternate history plagued by the undead and desperately short on optimism: Unholy Ghosts by Stacia Kane.
