And For Writers: The Latest Speculative Fiction Writing Wroundup
In the “Written” section, the link to “The Landline” is broken.
Thanks, OM… fixed.
Not free, but Amazon’s Daily Deal features a number of Ray Bradbury titles for $1.99, which is pretty sweet.
Thank you for mentioning my short story, “A Vampire’s Family Values”!
Leaving out the spoilers, is that short-work story of Vonnegut’s just a random coincidence, or meant to correlate to “Too ‘Bro’ to be”? Because it would work perfectly with the current culture and whatnot.
