  • Book Review: The Chrysalids by John Wyndham

    This is the least typical of Wyndham’s novels in that it is set in the far future and not in middle England. This is a tale of a small agricultural community on the island of Labrador in a far future post-apocalyptic world. Their historical documents refer to the people of old who were destroyed by […]

  • Steampunk: Quirky, Funky, Sexy

    I must admit that I’ve recently developed a bit of a fascination for the sub-genre and its something I’ve approached through the artwork. On my woefully underused tumblr page I have posted several steampunk’d science fiction icons (a dalek, optimus prime, predator, R2D2 and C3P0) and a computer just for the amusement. However I do […]

If I had studied sociology instead of archaeology at university, I would like to […]

  • Book Review: Web by John Wyndham

    ‘Web’ is a surprisingly pleasing addition to the career of John Wyndham. Published ten years after his death, it follows similar themes to several of his better known works. After an episode of PTSD, our protagonist purchases an island in the south Pacific in order to create a utopia and get away from the strains […]
