In my new interview with C. Stuart Hardwick, editor of "Tales Of The United States Space Force," he not only talks about assembling this sci-fi short story / science fact anthology, but also how it deals with both the real and perceived thoughts about the space agency.

Good stuff so far. I especially like how she plays with structure, even within the same poem.

While many anthologies claim to present the best science fiction, fantasy, and horror short stories, only one put them to the test: "L. Ron Hubbard Presents Writers Of The Future." In my new Q&A with editor Jody Lynn Nye, we discuss the newest edition, "Volume 40."

Some might say this is blasphemous, but I liked this more than "Parable Of The Sower." Mostly for being more fucked up in a "Handmaid's Tale" kind of way.

If the first / titular story is any indication of what's to come, this is going to be a lot of smart, engaging, but also emotionally crippling .

Watching that movie , and I can think is, "If you wanted to make a movie so badly, why didn't you just make a 'Titanfall' movie?"
