The Entropy of Bones Is One of the Year’s Best Action Movies, Except It’s a Book

Sometimes the best books are the ones which just kick your ass on the first page and keep thwacking you up one side of the page and down the other, for pages and pages.

Why Don’t Libraries Have Dungeons & Dragons Gamebooks?

Dungeons & Dragons and libraries should be a natural fit. Both attract people who love books, storytelling, and lore. Early D&D gamebooks even point readers towards their local libraries for research, and many libraries host comic book-themed events or have D&D clubs. This is why I was so surprised to learn how rare it is…
