Zombie Drought & Other Thirsts

Go to Postcards From Hell and read my pal Tristan Davenport’s story “La Sequía”. I mean, the first sentence is:
Contrary to promises made in church, death does not give her the use of her legs back.
You know you want to.
(And yeah, there’s been lots of cool stuff on Postcards From…, so go and troll the [...]

Magazine Catchup Part I - Asimov’s & F&SF, August ‘07 and Interzone July-Aug ‘07

In the last year, I traveled a lot — weeks and weeks, in fact — and ended up falling far behind on my magazine subscriptions. I usually catch up during the semester, sneaking a magazine in here or there, but last semester was so incredibly busy that I barely read any of my magazines. So [...]

Transcribed Marginalia on Librarything!

It’s been a busy lazy week. Since there’s nothing new in Gordland, I thought I’d just dump some links. I don’t do this often, but [...]

Going Soon to Thailand-Way…

Got my tickets booked up, and now I’m just trying to book places to stay in Bangkok and in Rai Leh. But to get myself in the Bangkok mood, I stopped by Somtow’s World, since he’s probably the most famous Thai I know of, aside from the King, of course. It’s odd I’ve never read [...]
