Last of the major Russian classics I wanted to read, and clearly a good one to end on.

We all love dogs, and we all love otters, but a dog / otter hybrid with a taste for human flesh?!?

Thankfully, we don't have to love those, we just have to read about them in Sherri Cook Woosley's urban fantasy / horror novella "Mother's Instinct" ... and this exclusive interview about it.

Is it cliché to say a poet has a way with words? A vivid way? Well, fuck it; she does.

While author Cameron Reed's name may not be as familiar to fans of cyberpunk science fiction as Philip K. Dick's or William Gibson's, that may now change thanks to Tor Books reissuing her 1996 novel "The Fortunate Fall." To learn more about this pioneering novel, check out this exclusive interview.

I can't live in space, and I don't like opera...and yet, one of my favorite genres of science fiction, regardless of medium, is space opera. Which is why I was excited to trade emails with Jonathan Strahan, editor of the new sci-fi short story anthology "New Adventures In Space Opera" for this Q&A.
