This sounds like an interesting storyline on the fantasy characters of goblins and how they are hunted for food by Unctionites. Thanks for the review.

Through the fantastical world of 'The Goblin Addiction,' Joe Paul Vanhaverbeke skillfully parallels themes of systemic racism and power dynamics, offering readers a thought-provoking exploration of societal issues within the framework of an adrenaline-pumping adventure. Nice review.

This is a book that readers who enjoy dark fiction will like. For me, it's a pass. The idea of goblins being hunted and killed isn't appealing. Congrats on BOTD

Per the book's description, it isn't my cup of tea. However, I liked how the author portrayed the characters to give his readers the bigger picture of what is happening in the world now. It has never been easy for me as a reader to take in the accounts of brutality and violence, yet I think that those who can are very brave.

This sounds like an absolutely fun read. I would like to see how deeply the author has taken storytelling. There's nothing as appealing as a reader being in a story while it is being read. The author has really done well.

I did wonder about the title "The Goblin Addiction." While I love fantasy, I don't think the storyline "goblins being hunted and eaten by the Unctionites for the feeling of ecstasy only goblins can give" is for me. I'm sure the book will find the right audience for it, though. Thanks for the review!

I like the fact that the author discusses spiritual aspects that would educate readers about other religions. Thank you for your review.

The story in "The Goblin Addiction" by Joe Paul Vanhaverbeke revolves around goblins running for their lives and Unctionites chasing after satisfaction. The battle line looks interesting.

The Goblin Addiction, reviewed by Sam, seems to be a fairytale novel written for adults instead of kids. A fairytale full of adventure, black magic, dark theme is supposed to allure fantasy lovers who have become adults but have a kid's heart dreaming about their childhood for imaging cartoons by reading books but in darker mode in the case of this book. So, yes, this book is surely a must read for those guys.

The Goblin Addiction, The Devil Ate My Homework, and The Bible of Bobism have received five star reviews and Vance and the Vances a four star one, all from the Online Book Club.

My books are available in every online bookstore in the US I have searched, an acknowledgment of recognition by Amazon allowing them to be of some worth but nothing to drive buyers in their direction, an algorithm giving value to my work but my job to get readers to see them.

All the talent in the world depends on knowing it is there, its genius or lack thereof something that hides in obscurity. My books are different and have endings with the possibility of being expanded upon, aka, a sequel.
The Goblin Addiction" is the author's creation portraying fantasy addiction, with the characters getting trapped by the enchantment of goblins and their mysterious kingdom. This resemblance to any addiction is that it is all consuming which not only affects ones thoughts and actions but the whole social and personal life of a person. Either is the pleasure of adrenaline, the pledge of buried treasures, or the tendency to get away from actuality - the spell of goblins is addictive.
This book was like none I have read. I wondered in the beginning if there were any good beings among the two species, the Unctionites and the Goblins. Most stories are predictable, but I never knew where this one was going, keeping things always interesting. The author addresses addiction, narcissistic leaders, and prejudice through its characters. This book would make a neat movie!
