Add this to your regular blog rolls, RSS feeds, or trips around the Internet if you're a regular reader of science fiction, fantasy, or horror: Upstream Reviews, brought to you by veteran authors Rob Krose and Declann Finn.
Welcome to Upstream Reviews, where we know that culture is upstream from politics, and we act on it.
In recent years, you may have heard from mainstream thinking that there is no such thing as a “conservative creative.” The idea is that no one makes entertainment unless they’re left-leaning, to the left of chairman Mao.
Usually, this claim is made by those people who refuse to look at fiction, because “fiction is irrelevant.” Then they go out and try to sell their own product.
At Upstream Reviews, we will go out of our way to bring you the best in Conservative entertainment. And only the best.
Because we’ve made our own platform, and we’re not going anywhere.
Our review philosophy is simple: no pandering leftwing garbage.
If we review a book, it’s because we think it’s worth reading. And we prioritize books and authors that go against the culture tide of relativism, cynicism, where Leftists rewrite storytelling to fit their own image. If there’s politics in it, we will discuss them. If there’s no blatant politics, we’ll explain why the book alone fits in with the rest of the right / right-leaning works.
On very rare occasions, we may review a book because it is so vile it needs a stake rammed through its heart like the abomination it truly is.
You can read "Conservative" as "Not pozzed by the Death Cult or run by its SJW shocktroopers" because that's typical of what Upstream features in its posts.
Upstream does two things as regular features: Classic titles being featured (as of this post, the most recent is "The Lathe of Heaven" by Ursula K. LeGuin), and independent or small press titles that aren't getting attention from the SJWs that dominate BookTube/BookTwitter and other mainstream social media or bookstore marketing (as of this post, the most recent is "Fatemarked" by David Estes). There are weekly roundups on Sundays, and the occassional non-fiction work gets attention when it's appropriate, but it's those regular features that you'll be coming back for.
Do I recommend it? As part of your larger set of media feeds to keep you up to date on what's out there and what's the best of what came before, it certainly is, especially if you're budget-concious and prefer to read digitally. Check it out.
