Please find my full #bookreview on FanFiAddict for the grimnoir novel The Hallows by @hollytinsl3y.bsky.social who had me immersed in her murky world where urban fantasy meets 1920s style murder mystery. Superb. fanfiaddict.com/the-hallows-...

What a detailed, in-depth review, not just of VIOLENCE & VIGILANCE but the events that helped create it. Thank you Grady Shelton of SFF Insiders for reading and reviewing V&V and for going the extra mile and dropping some lore on Turesia Untamed. www.sffinsiders.com/blog/review-...

Violence & Vigilance by David T. List — SFF Insiders

A Dark Fantasy daring to dream big. The heavy swing from David T. List made full contact, delivering an astonishing opening salvo to both the gut and heart.

V&V is a finalist in SPFBO!! Thanks in no small part to Lee's brilliance and vision as an editor! If I haven't recommended him lately, forgive me because he's a gem and the forthcoming sequel/conclusion will be vastly improved if not saved outright with his help!

A multi-book epic taking place across Halandor (same world as V&V, diff continent), featuring crime families, ranchers, railroads, airships, hive-mind goblins, world-ending pig people and the giant hunters who fight them. It threatens to be more complex than V&V, which I swore I'd never do again 😭
