Faren Miller reviews Tim PrattWednesday 14 December 2011 | Reviews
From Locus Magazine's December 2011 issue
The final section defies both genre and general morality with a sly zest that takes Briarpatch well beyond the darkness of the opening.

Graham Sleight's Yesterdays Tomorrows: Roger ZelaznySunday 11 December 2011 | Reviews
From the December 2011 issue of Locus Magazine
Roger Zelazny's writing gives an impression of having integrated all the jobs of an SF writer into one consistent voice. It is, for a start, knowing, informal, sophisticated. It happily mixes the informal with the businesslike and the borderline-pretension of dropping in a word like recherches. New in Paperback: DecemberSaturday 10 December 2011 | Monitor, Directories

Gemma Files: The Sex and Death ShowSunday 4 December 2011 | Perspectives
Excerpts from Locus Magazine's December Issue interview.
I have always had an urge towards the horrific. Often I say that horror is a ghetto inside a ghetto inside a ghetto, in terms of genre.
