The BookViral Review:
Something dark is brewing in Montreal and it’s sure to capture your imagination in Bruce J Mitchell’s Helruna: An Anglo-Norse Tale of Terror.
A magic that has spanned the centuries, manifested in the forces of good and evil as destinies reveal themselves. It’s a splendid tale that Mitchell has spun, his plot intricate and well-conceived, regaling readers with age-old mysteries, whilst the devices of suspense and tension are maintained throughout.
Many authors try and fail to pull off the kind of supernatural plot that Mitchell nails in ” Helruna” and the secret to his success here are confidence, patience and a sound understanding of what readers want from the Dark Fantasy genre.
His confidence is apparent in the way “Helruna’s” core mythology and characters dovetail into a feverishly enjoyable guilty pleasure. His patience is evident in the intriguing backstories he creates for his characters whilst his understanding of the genre is clearly evident in a narrative that embraces gratifyingly dark overtures and is cool enough to convince his readers that he isn’t simply spinning a yarn that they have read some iteration of many, many times before.
In short, “Helruna” has all the ingredients for a compelling and rewardingly entertaining Dark Fantasy adventure. Mitchell’s characters are superb, and they make an appealing, believable group as the supernatural elements escalate to create an emotionally compelling hook whilst the central relationship between Bessie and Bryant Butterworth is good enough to build an exciting series around.
Yes, you could point to a host of bestselling books in the genre and make justifiable comparisons, but Mitchell has delivered a read that is rather distinctive and it’s this combined with the mechanics of good storytelling that make it a highly recommended read!

Smart, insightful, and warm Shaiken’s tone is uplifting and pleasantly humorous; quite a feat when discussing a career in the American legal system, distilling titillating observations into engrossing narratives that take us from forklifts to courtrooms before finally embracing his passion for the creative arts.
Have you ever come home to a hot bath strewn with rose petals and filled with bubbles, in a bathroom bedecked with scented candles and an ice cold glass of champagne fizzing invitingly on the side. If not you might be thinking poor me but you might want to think again!
Is anything ever again like your ‘first love’? The trembling hands, the beating heart, the breathless anticipation-in short, the culmination of all you ever saw and heard and felt about love?
The bedrock for authenticity has to be robust research but the inclusion of fact doesn’t necessarily make for a compelling read.
I read with both fascination and disgust as I learned how he was attacked by a bear who scalped him and left part of his skull flapping open but was not prepared to lay down and die.
