Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?
Critics praise Kim Newman's masterful world-building and rich pop-cultural references. The Los Angeles Review of Books calls the series 'one of the most media-literate, rampantly intertextual, exuberantly allusive compendiums of pop-cultural materials ever assembled.' Borg.com describes Newman as 'the master of world-building and mash-ups,' affirming this new release maintains that high standard.
