a newsletter by Erik Kain about the things that make life worth living: games, tv shows, movies, novels and all that jazz and leaves politics and controversy at the door (or rather, over at diabolical).
Dear Erik, thanks for your ongoing energy and writing quality. I enjoy everything you write, regardless if I share the specific opinion or not, and will definitely continue to read all your stuff. You make some intriguing observations and conclusions; you write with intellectual cleverness and a good sense for relevance in our times; your self-doubt honors you, but rest assured, you give away the positive impression that you really know what you are doing!
Cool! Let's admire the Elden Ring trailer together! What a reveal, right? I'm so excited, I can barely wait for January. I hope you will be posting first impressions after release.
Keep on trucking Erik! I always look forward to your thoughtful reviews. Whether I agree (most of the time) or not, I always come away with food for thought. I’m a huge fantasy fan and would appreciate a bit more of your thoughts on novels as well, if that’s your thing. Hoping you find your sweet spot!
For fantasy, The Broken Earth trilogy, by Jemisin has some of the best world-building and writing I’ve read in quite awhile and very poignant for the current times. For sci/fi, The Murderbot’s novellas by Wells are incredibly funny and cynical at the same time. What does it mean to be human? I’d love to hear your thoughts.
Congratulations! I look forward to reading everything you write.
Thanks, Kimberly! That means a lot!

Thanks DeeVee! Yes, I plan on covering more fiction/fantasy/sci-fi here as well. Any good ones you recommend?

I have the first book in both these series sitting on my Kindle waiting to be read, so this will spur me to action, thanks!!
