Though not as Gaiman-y as one of his original novels, these retellings of, yeah, Norse Myths were just as gripping, entertaining, and vivid-ly written. So, yeah, Gaiman-y.

Interesting (but entirely coincidental) to start reading this on the same day I started replaying "God Of War: Ragnarok."

If the first two stories are any indication (and I really hope they are), this is going to be a super good collection of .

Thought this was going to be a small but exciting / engaging story, and it was — until it opened up towards the end and man, the implications. So good.

While other writers have put science fiction spins on the Greek myths, in "More Perfect," her sci-fi take on the myth of Orpheus and Eurydice, writer Temi Oh also incorporated her "background in neuroscience.” To learn how, check out this exclusive interview.

Really, really good so far, especially "The Museum Of Broken Relationships."

I'm enjoying the new version of the way I enjoy all faithful remasters of old games: with nostalgia in my heart, and a wish they'd updated everything in my head.

Well, this certainly started off with a bang. Er, bangs.

Wait, do chests go "bang" when they explode outward?

Not nearly as good as the previous one in this trilogy, but still interesting. Now, for the final book.

Though this certainly had some good , her earlier book, "Bestiary," was much better.

Seems like this isn't going to be just a bunch of normal parallel reality stories.

His earlier were better (at least to read; maybe they were better when performed). Too many of these were overly clever and smirk-ing-ly self-aware.

Despite what the title suggests, Honey Watson's new novel "Lessons In Birdwatching" isn't an instruction manual; it's a sci-fi story...with some birdwatching. Why? Find out in this exclusive interview.
