The Forgotten Fiction

Book Reviews Magazine

The Forgotten Fiction book reviews magazine features quality written works of fiction, preview reviews of upcoming unreleased titles, and author / artist interviews.

We have to spread the power of fiction to change the world for the better! Another special focus of TFF:  detailed reviews of Small Press and Fine Press Limited Editions that feel heavy in the hand, though we review works from any publisher.

Each book review has one rule: we feature The Forgotten Fiction Grade, Yea or Nay, as a recommendation to pick up the book...or let it be forgot.

The Murder of Roger Ackroyd Mystery Confounds Hercule Poirot

Agatha Christie’s magnum opus is the fourth installment in the Hercule Poirot Series, and as this grisly murder investigation unfolds, the reader is given more insight into the now ‘retired’ eccentric Belgian sleuth than we have had to date. The Murder of Roger Ackroyd is one of the all time great crime-mystery novels and it forever deeply changed fiction. Treasure a...

Dan Brown Evolves Brilliantly In The Secret of Secrets

Much as I love Dan Brown’s work, it was pure elation to read the thrilling new Robert Langdon novel and find it full of enough science and philosophy to evoke, dare I say, Michael Crichton. I do not bring up Crichton lightly. Fans of the legendary author of Jurassic Park will enjoy the components and overall feel of Brown’s most recent foray into science-fiction...

Piranesi by Susanna Clarke: New Mind-bending Magical Realism

There is no way to prepare readers for walking into the dream that is the astounding, infinite labyrinthine halls of Piranesi’s house. I will do my best, but any reminiscing about Susanna Clarke’s incredible book of fantasy can only prepare you for a deep mystery amidst a magical setting so innovative, realistic, and unnerving, that it will only touch on the surface of...

P.S.

If You Want To Know A Little More About How The Forgotten Fiction Book Reviews Magazine Is Different & Our Mission . . .

We are really trying to achieve two main goals here at The Forgotten Fiction Book Reviews:

  1. To bolster every author who puts out a work of fiction long after the initial buzz that accompanied its release and to bolster publishers, especially small press and fine press, that make works of art out of the books we love. For newer books, we either offer up preview reviews before the book comes out, sometimes followed by more elaborate reviews after release day, or we post a review after the release date so that long after the initial 60+ day marketing push for the book is over our review lasts and continues to be plugged into the online book-verse, something that is usually left to a public relations manager or company and even with all of their powers of marketing / PR are limited in where they can place the book months after its launch. We also focus on limited edition and small press publications, like Hard Case Crime and Suntup Editions, that are also reviewed for their physical beauty, as well as the work's literary art and often illustrations.
  2. We love books of fiction and as readers we have too little time to read ALL of the books that fall onto our tentative To-Read List. The Forgotten Fiction hopes that with our Yea or Nay stamp, we can definitively give our unbiased opinion to you as a recommendation to aid your decision to move a book from The Stack and onto, or off of, your Must-Read List. Goodreads is fantastic, we practically live in it, but at TFF we feel that we supplement Goodreads in three vital areas. We have professional writers giving an in-depth review of each work of fiction, and the reviewers at TFF work hard to earn your trust; we also do not bother with ratings, because we give you a clear answer as to whether we think you should read the book or not; and for our small press book reviews, we review the myriad physical aspects that make up the finer editions of the written works.
