Some science fiction writers take the "science" part very seriously. But author Nathan Ballingrud not only didn't do that in his new novella "Crypt Of The Spider Moon," as he says in this exclusive interview, this pulpy lunar Gothic story isn't even sci-fi.

The new "Star Wars" video game "Outlaws" is like Han Solo: a little bad but mostly good. But it's no "Jedi." Here's the link to my review of this third-person, open world action / adventure shooter / stealth action game.

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

My only complaint about this otherwise excellent collection is that it's too short.

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.

An epic poem? An autobiography in verse? Don't know; don't care. All I know is it demanded to be read in one sitting and was all the more effective for it.

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