Mike Thorn reviews Avatar: The Way of Water for In Review Online
“If The Way of Water is a crucial work of tech Romanticism, then another of its richest central dissonances is that between past and future: it imagines a world that stands a chance against modernity’s most brutal and oppressive machinations, thus situating itself in the past, but it also uses its genre modality to speculate a future that exceeds postmodernity’s politically flattening failures.”
L. J. Zapico reviews Un Refugio para los Condenados, the Spanish translation of Shelter for the Damned
“The story, in its last third, plunges into dark depths, with touches of cosmic horror and weird , finishing off its construction of adolescent obsessions, parent-child relationships and youth psychology.”
Soraya Murillo Hernandez reviews Un Refugio para los Condenados (Spanish translation of Shelter for the Damned)
“Mike Thorn updates the psychological horror novel, taking it to cosmic horror and the most stark realism, using a scathing and sometimes excessive style, not suitable for everyone, really raw at times, he has written a brilliant exposition on the truth for urban youth. Like life itself.”
