In the upcoming series of reviews we will be tackling works of fiction which some of you may not be familiar with yet are INFAMOUS🦀REVIEWER recommended.
This series will focus more on books I consider to be absolute must-read masterpieces from different authors, eras, and genres.
These titles are not necessarily the most popular or even the most praised from each of their respective authors, yet I always felt compelled to bring more attention to them and give them their deserved credit.
Authors like Mark Twain, Julian Hawthorne, and H. Rider Haggard will be part of our fun ride into this world of Legends. And when I say Legends I am referring to stories that-due to their content and nature-will not and cannot ever grow old or become outdated. You can read these stories hundreds of years from now and their power will not have faded at all.
I hope that if you are a writer and have never heard of these titles that you’ll read them and study them. If you’re just a fan of good stories like myself, I guarantee you these stories will find a way to your heart and soul in ways you might not even expect.
Modern trends live a short life before being replaced by other trends, but Legends are forever!

Stay tuned for the first review of TRENDS DIE OUT/LEGENDS LIVE ON: SARA WAS JUDITH by Julian Hawthorne
Looking forward to this! Speaking of legends and classics that never die, I’ve convinced my wife to re-watch Opera North’s complete production of Richard Wagner’s Der Ring des Nibelungen, not least because it’s a major source of inspiration for my current WIP.
I have to say, it’s the biggest breath of fresh air: it represents so much of what I want to bring to the fantasy genre, and it stands as an incredible alternative to the things that I’m quite frankly tired of.
Even if opera isn’t usually your thing, I recommend making an exception–and the whole thing is free on YouTube!
I will definitely check it out. By the way one of the novels from this series that I’ll be covering has aspects that very much reminded me of the ‘mythos’ element I’ve read in your book! It was almost spooky to see that similarity in a novel published in 1886!
Very cool, I’ll look forward to your review of that book!
