British Fantasy Awards 2013

The juries for the 2013 British Fantasy Awards have been announced.

Good Homes Wanted

Peter Coleborn is getting rid of some magazines and all you have to do is pay the postage. Some of the BFS titles are particularly hard to track down (especially for non-members) but there are also some Interzones in there too.

FantasyCon 2012

Nearly forgot to mention that the national British convention for fantastical and weird fiction is taking place this weekend in Brighton. It’s still not too late to catch some of it. Drink beer, raid the dealers’ room, etc.

The Best New Horror of the Year Volume Four

Hey, I rate a mention in the introduction because of a story I had in the British Fantasy Society Journal last year. Neat.

Ellen Datlow’s annual anthology represents the best in horror fiction and you should buy it if you’ve got any interest at all in the genre. And I’m not just saying that because I’m biased in any way. Look at the contributors to this volume if you don’t believe me.

Global Junkie

Adrift on the Sea of Rains has been reviewed by Glen Mehn for the British Fantasy Society and Christian Anderson for Global Junkie.

British Fantasy Awards 2012 Longlists

You’ve seen the shortlists. Now read the longlists. It’s a bit like time travel with the possibility of alternate universes thrown into the mix. A little bit.

Al Robertson’s Of Dawn was in Interzone 235 and Mercurio D. Rivera’s Tethered was in Interzone 236.

Dark Horizons 52

Peter Coleborn writes about co-editing Dark Horizons 52 with Jan Edwards.

Witchfinder General

My review of Ian Cooper’s new book about Michael Reeves’ film.

It’s a stunning piece of cinema that still shocks even after almost half a century.

 

REAMDE

I review Neal Stephenson’s Facebook Western for the BFS.

Escape Pod 317
