- Lot's of great stuff over at AMC's SciFi Scanner this week:
- BookSpotCentral interviews Matthew Stover (Caine Black Knife).
- Dark Worlds interviews Dave Tackett of QuasarDragon fame: "I love storytelling that inspires the imagination. My favorite aspect of SF, Fantasy, and horror is that, at their best, they take us beyond the ordinary mundane world and show us more than any human being can ever see."
- Free Fiction [courtesy of QuasarDragon]
- From now through Dec. 31, all new/renewing Weird Tales subscribers in the U.S. will receive a free copy of The Neil Gaiman Reader.
- At Futurismic, "Jonathan McCalmont suggests that repackaging the masterworks of the genre with a side serving of serious critical examination might add a cachet to science fiction which it has previously struggled to attain." It'd work on me. I don't know how many Masterworks volumes I bought even though I already own an earlier edition of the book.
- Over at Ecstatic Days, guest-blogger K. Tempest Bradford has some tough love for genre fiction writers.
- Lauren Panepinto, Creative Director for Orbit and Yen Press, shares some cool book cover art Still lovin' the Orcs covers.
- The savvy authors over at Book View Cafe have teamed with PortableReading to make their stories available over the iPhone and through AnthologyBuilder. [via SF Scope]
- Biology in Science Fiction deep-dives into The Biology of Creature From The Black Lagoon. That thing scared the begeezus out of me when I was younger.
- Dark Roasted Blend offers a really cool Steampunk Extravaganza. [via Enter the Octopus]
- Here's the latest update on the HelpVera Fundraiser. Way to go, sf community!
