Another 5-star review!

A few days ago, Amazon user ChickJ gave a 5-star review to The Adventures of Lazarus Gray Volume 11, mentioning specifically how much the ending surprised him. Well, he’s back with a review of the follow-up to that book, Volume 12. Once again, he gave it 5-stars, titling it “If you read Lazarus Gray 11, this is a must-read.” Here’s the rest of his review:

“Lazarus Gray 11 had one of the most surprising endings I had ever read. Thankfully, I had already gotten the next book. (Thank you Barry for putting out the next book so soon!) This book wraps up some of the storylines and of course, sets up for more. I really don’t want to reveal too much. It would really spoil the impact of Book 11. Get both 11 and 12. You will thank Barry for writing such a wonderful, fascinating tale. It will make you so glad you are reading anything from Barry’s universe. A must-read for pulp, superhero, SF, and fantasy fans.”

I’m so glad that you enjoyed the wrap-up! Book 12 was one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to write, simply because I had to resolve so many plotlines and do it satisfactorily. I’m glad you felt I succeeded!

A 5-Star Review

Amazon user ChickJ posted a review of The Adventures of Lazarus Gray Volume Eleven. He gave it the title of ‘The Ending Blew Me Away’ and this was what he went on to say:

“Although his last book I read, (Worlds Apart: An AC Comics/Resse Unlimited Crossover) I thought it was his best book. But this one I wish I could give 7 stars or at least 6 stars. The book is darker than most of his writing but the storyline needed it. Images of strange things abound, like a house that runs around on chicken legs. The worlds of the living and dead are merging. And toss in Nazis into the mix, you have a terrific tale. But the ending really surprised me for the first time in decades. A must-read for everyone.”

Thanks, o’ faithful reader! I’m glad you enjoyed it — the ending was definitely meant to throw you for a loop. Let me know if you think I handled the fallout well in the next book!

A Review from Hel

A new review of The Sword of Hel has hit Amazon.com, this time courtesy of Scott Rowland. He gave the book 5 stars and titled his review “Some twists on the sword and sorcery genre”. Here’s his full comments:

“I have liked all of Barry Reese’s books I have read and this is no exception. This is different from the new pulp adventures of Lazarus Gray, but has the same sort of excitement. The book grew on me as I read, with the Ragnil character, in particular, bringing a huge smile to my face. While true to the conventions of S&S heroines, Ragnil has a more compelling “origin” and that plays interestingly with Grimarr’s own. Grimarr himself has a unique backstory that gives him a sometimes melancholy air, and an actual reason to wander away from the new friends he makes. A worthy addition to Mr. Reese’s impressive body of work, and I will pick up any future appearances.”

Thanks, Scott! Glad you enjoyed the book. It’s been somewhat divisive amongst readers with some really liking it and others being left pretty cold. I’m happy you’re among the former!

Worlds Collide Review

Dale Russell gave the Reese Unlimited/AC Comics crossover a 5-star review. Here’s what he had to say:

1940 – Laura Wright – also known as Nightveil finds herself torn through time and cast into a time – and a body – not her own. Powers diminished; she has teamed up with Charity Grace who has survived her time of redemption as the supernaturally powered Gravedigger. After their latest battle, they have begun the travel home when serendipity brings them into the company of Lazarus Gray, returning from a mission performed at the behest of the French Government. But, as is the world’s wont, no good deeds go unpunished and soon the three heroes find themselves fighting against a demon from Nightveil’s world…one who magically restores a long thought dead enemy of Gray and Co. Soon, the friends become enemies and a new group of heroes is thrown into the conflict…the only hope to destroy the evil before it destroys them all.

Here is a great new entry in Pro Se Productions publishing the expanding universe of REESE UNLIMITED, created and populated by the fertile mind and storytelling of Barry Reese. Combining his iconic hero, Lazarus Gray, with the Gravedigger – another hero populating his world – and teaming them up with Nightveil – perhaps the strongest and long-lived of AC Comics FemForce, Reese delivers another fun and exciting story that readers of his books and one of comic fandoms’ favorite comic book run.

If you’re looking for great New Pulp adventures and fan-hoped for genre crossovers, this is the one.

Thanks for the kind words, Dale. This digest-sized story was a lot of fun to write. Nightveil is such a rich character and she fits right into my fictional world. Hopefully I’ll get to write the character again someday.

Reese Unleashed!

So Pro Se ain’t playin’ around when it comes to catching up on the backlog of Reese Unlimited titles. In April, they will be releasing not one, not two, not three, but FOUR novels of mine! You can expect Lazarus Gray Volumes 11, 12, and 13, as well as the first Lilith novel!

BOOM!

Spring Break

Off work this week for some much-needed relaxation. I’m working on the third volume of Straw-Man right now and things are going well — introducing a really cool villain.

Saw the Morbius film this past weekend — if you enjoyed the Blade trilogy, you’ll like this. It feels like an early 2000s or late Nineties superhero film and I don’t mean that in a bad way.

Just finished reading the East of West series. All ten trades are available from Image Comics and I would HIGHLY recommend it. Great artwork, some genuinely shocking twists, and a few amazing characters that I think I’ll remember for many years to come.

Approved the galley proofs of Lazarus Gray Volumes 11 and 12 so hopefully they’ll be released sooner rather than later!
