I got to see a sneak preview of ep. 1 of "Alien: Earth" in Minnesota. An excited family sat next to me, and explained that their son was in the show.

They weren't big sci-fi fans, but it was a great break for him.

Patrick Hoffman writes like a gorgeous hybrid of Denis Johnson, Charles Willeford, and Richard Stark. As in the best noir, his novel nails how folks on the margins fall into bad choices.

Highly Recommended. What I love most about A Drop of Corruption--and Robert Jackson Bennett's ongoing series--is how seamlessly, and seemingly without strain, he integrates various genres.

Andrew’s right. I don’t post a ton here, but I am going to try and balance reposts of the brilliant folks I follow here with amazing stuff I am reading, seeing, hearing, experiencing.

Nisi Shawl’s alt history of a Beat writer, told via her journals, is great. Trust me.

Stephen Graham Jones' newest novel comes out in March, and it may be his best (so far): a huge, shaggy epic that reimagines the vampire and the Marias massacre of a Piikani Blackfeet camp, each story "point[ing its] guns" at the other. It is shot through with dark humor, ...

That’s enough “debating” for now. I need some deeply unsettling Icelandic horror to take the edge off.
