Stefan Dziemianowicz reviews Henry KuttnerWednesday 25 May 2011 | Reviews; Magazine; 2011 Posts
From Locus Magazine's May 2011 issue
The last story in Terror in the House: The Early Kuttner, Volume One was published in April 1939. Within a year, he would marry C.L. Moore. Science fiction and fantasy would never be the same again, and this book captures one of its best writers on the threshold of its transformation.

Gary K. Wolfe reviews China MiévilleWednesday 18 May 2011 | Reviews; Magazine; 2011 Posts
From Locus Magazine's May 2011 issue
Miéville is far less interested in the exoticism of his setting and characters, or in their science fictional ingenuity, than in their capacity to express some rather complex themes, among which are issues of colonialism, betrayal, and perhaps most of all language and reality.

From Locus Magazine's May 2011 issue

Howard Waldrop & Lawrence Person review ThorMonday 9 May 2011 | Reviews
This is a slightly split decision; Howard thinks it’s pretty dire, while I think it’s almost passable, if you set your expectations low. Like, “I hope it’s better than Ghost Rider” low…
