“It’s easy enough to state that the debut collection by Laura Mauro, Sing Your Sadness Deep (Undertow), is a work of fine and accomplished writing, as near to flawless in its execution as you might wish for. Mauro weaves love through the horror of many of the stories which such ease which says a lot about her as a writer.” – Toni the Reader “Personally, I think that love and acceptance take the center stage in many of the stories that Mauro writes. “ Sing Your Sadness Deep, will have you running through every emotion, from joy to despair, from warmth to revulsion, with its transcendent look at the human condition.” – Ginger Nuts of Horror “Mauro distorts quaint divides between the inhuman and the human too often a source of deep anxiety, but also of curiosity about ourselves unexpectedly exposed as alien, as always having been alien.” – Rowan Fortune, The strangeness is magical as a reader because it deliberately alters your perception, rendering you more curious and open to what a story has to say.” – Gemma Webster, Fiction Unbound “Mauro has a lot of literary knack on top of her weird fiction capacities making her stories well formed, beautiful, sometimes scary and always strange.

Stillness is the Key The play's internal evidence of style and textual preferences points to Ford it shows, among other particulars, the pattern of unusual contractions ( t'ee for "to ye," d'ee for "do ye," y'are for "you are") that typifies Ford's work. Since Ford is thought to have written for the King's Men only early in his career – just two of his earlier plays were acted by the company - The Queen may be another early work. This suggests that The Queen may also have been acted by the King's Men. Gough had earlier been a member of the King's Men, and had been part of the cast of that company's production of Ford's The Lover's Melancholy in late 1628 or 1629. The first quarto edition of 1653 was published by the actor-turned-bookseller Alexander Gough. The date and circumstances of the play's authorship and performance are unknown, though scholars can draw some inferences from the little factual information available. Though published anonymously in 1653, The play is now generally attributed to John Ford - making it a significant addition to the very limited canon of Ford's works.

If all that sounds wildly imaginative then you’d be absolutely correct. Deryn, thanks to a mishap involving the a jellyfish-based air creature, finds herself aboard the titular Leviathan and airship composed mostly out of a whale but in truth a living ecosystem unto itself. Meanwhile, young Deryn Sharp disguises herself as a boy in order to enter the British air service whose genetically engineered animals take the place of the mechanized constructs of the Austrian empire. Loaded into a Stormwalker, a mechanized military walker, he and his two mentors flee towards the Swiss border. Leviathan starts in June of 1914 as the fictional son of Archduke Ferdinand, Aleksander, is whisked away on the eve of his parents murder. Which is regrettable since Leviathan is an exciting novel full of imagination, adventure, and excitement in spades.
