Gary K. Wolfe reviews China MiévilleSunday 27 June 2010 | Reviews; Magazine; 2010 Posts
A sample review from Locus Magazine
The level of sheer inventiveness in Kraken is exhilarating, though it never slows the pace of the basic let's-all-save-the-world plot. M.K. Hobson: BustlepunkSaturday 26 June 2010 | Magazine; Perspectives
Excerpts from Locus Magazine's June Issue interview.
I like a little taste of fantasy better than a whole big plate of it. People who say, 'I'm going to build the kind of world I want' - that doesn’t turn my crank as much as, 'What can I say about this world?' I don’t want to escape. I don't care about escape. Adrienne Martini reviews Helen MerrickFriday 25 June 2010 | Reviews; Magazine; 2010 Posts
A sample review from Locus Magazine
Merrick traces how the field has evolved over the last ninety years, from a boys' club to a moderately inclusive field — inclusive for women, that is. Kit Reed: Make a BunnyThursday 24 June 2010 | Magazine; Perspectives
Excerpts from Locus Magazine's June Issue interview.

Justin Cronin's The Passage debuts on print lists this week, while Stephenie Meyer's The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner is still #1 at USA Today.
Jonah HexMonday 21 June 2010 | Reviews
The fact that Jonah Hex is as watchable as it is, is a credit to Hollywood professionalism. With such a poor script and such indifferent direction, reaching the level of "meh" is actually quite an achievement.

Gary K. Wolfe reviews Peter S. BeagleWednesday 16 June 2010 | Reviews; Magazine; 2010 Posts
A sample review from Locus Magazine
Surely there are few 70-year-old writers in any genre for whom a "best of" anthology, consisting of only 18 stories, could include 12 from the last five years and still be a balanced overview of their finest work. This Week's BestsellersTuesday 15 June 2010 | Monitor, Directories
