My new blog

[Ainulindale]

Just started a new blog to work to both coincide with FBS and add more. I have been able to accumulate a good amount of access due to FBS, and in the future I ill bring interviews there in genre we don't specifically voer at FBS. Until then some reviews, and news and thoughts on speculative fiction.

Thanks

Another chance to wn an autographed, recently released book, Shriek: an afterword by one of my favorite writers of fantastic fiction, Jeff Vandermeer in a free drawing!

Check out details here

Here is some of the accholades by famous folks:

"Here is a desert island book, a tale you can lose yourself in for days, a novel of character in which the setting--the magnificently gritty city-state named Ambergris--proves as the light fails to be the finest character of all."

- Gene Wolfe

"There's a madness in Jeff Vandermeer’s literary eye, and I would be a liar if I didn't admit it seems intimately familiar. VanderMeer envisions an outlaw literature of shrieks and shouts and a screaming across the sky, worth a thousand polite and respectable mutterings. I, for one, am listening."

- Steve Erikson

"Ambergis is one of my favorite haunts in fiction"

- China Mieville

"VanderMeer explores brilliantly, penetratingly, the frail, evanescent intersection of human understanding and historical actuality. In the telling, Shriek: An Afterword is an exceptional novel, a tapestry of fine writing, deep psychological insight, and acute narrative excitement...Shriek: An Afterword is a dark fantasy of tremendous distinction."

- Nick Gevers (Locus)
