One Last Mongrels Write-Up

That I’d have missed without being passed the link on Twitter—thanks. This one’s over on Amazon UK, and . . . so cool, right up there with that Will Byrnes write-up on Goodreads. I’ll link it then screencap it in as well:

Television of course is the one the whole world loved, then the usual (superhero) suspects, then a couple that should surprise no one, then a Netflix stumbleupon that was amazing, an
