Suite 225
November 30, 2009Robert Holdstock
November 29, 2009Robert Holdstock died at 4am this morning after a brief illness. We had recently interviewed him for Interzone and, as well as being one of the finest fantasy writers around, he was also a delight to work with. This is no surprise to anyone who’d had the good fortune of meeting him in person.
No more Mythago.
Too soon.
Fergus Bannon
November 29, 2009GSFWC writer Fergus Bannon now has his own site – plenty is still to be added to it, including testimony from some of the finest writers alive today, but you can already find Burning Brightly from Interzone 71 there.
Nebula
November 27, 2009Aliette de Boddard has been doing some research and it turns out that Interzone stories are eligible for the Science Fiction & Fantasy Writers of America’s annual Nebula awards. This is because they are published online by Fictionwise. This should also apply to other magazines and publications that are available online, such as Jupiter, Dark Horizons and so on.
Feel free to nominate and vote if you’re a SFWA member…
Books in the West
November 22, 2009Books in the West is a new bookshop that opened last Friday in West Kilbride. The staff are friendly and informed and I recommend it to anyone in the area. In fact, I’ll even recommend it to anyone who’s not in the area.
Guest Blog
November 19, 2009There is a possibility that I may be making a guest appearance on another blog in February. To differentiate it from The Cave of Doom, I will be utilising features such as content and opinion.
Stay tuned for more generalisations.

November 14, 2009Interzone 225 Out
November 12, 2009Interzone 225 has been published. Go here to buy it or sample some of its fiction.
It’ll also be available from the usual suspects – Borders, Forbidden Planet, Transreal, Central Books and others - and some new overseas suspects, thanks to a distribution deal that kicked in with the previous issue.
And, while you’re here, there is an online interview with cover art genius Adam Tredowski that’s worth taking a peak at.
