Am totally gripped by this really clever, but also really personal (and thus really painful) version of a multiverse / miniverse story.

Finished reading Camille Bordas' "The Material."

Was a bit all over the place, character-wise, but in a good way; like life itself.

Loved her first English language novel, "How To Behave In A Crowd," and this seems like it's going to be equally as unique and offbeat and compelling,

As much flirty fun as the first two books in this / series, though a bit more frantic.

This was a super good collection of narrative ; gonna add his other books to my TBR pile ASAP.

Gonna tell my kids this was Led Zeppelin BECAUSE I'M NOT GOING TO LIE TO MY KIDS LIKE A MONSTER.

Under normal circumstances, I'd tell you to always ignore jerks. But in my exclusive interview with author Beth Revis about her sci-fi space opera novella "Full Speed To A Crash Landing," she says it was inspired by something some jerk said to her, so...

In Mattie Bukowski's science fiction space opera novel "Up The Entropic Hill," death isn't a problem anymore, which makes it that much worse when you lose someone you love. And in my exclusive interview with Bukowski, he talks about how this sends someone hitchhiking across the galaxy.

In my new interview with author Aliette de Bodard, she explains why the complicated method of space travel in her character focused science fiction space opera novella "Navigational Entanglements" is so monstrous.

Seems like this is going to be as fun and flirty as the first two books in this / series.

Classic Genet ... with all the filthy insight that implies.

I really like good narrative , and this book starts with a bunch of them.

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.

While I will never take a space ship to another planet, this still freaked me the fuck out.

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.

Only read the title story so far, but it was weird and good in a way I was not expecting.

A mostly good bunch of clever , though I'm on the fence as to whether I feel the need to read any of her other collections.
