Russell Letson reviews M. John HarrisonSunday 24 March 2013 | Reviews
From Locus Magazine's March 2013 issue
Empty Space would seem to be part of an argument Harrison is having with certain kinds of fiction and, finally, with certain ways of viewing the world and the self. Gwenda Bond reviews Elizabeth Hand's Radiant DaysSaturday 23 March 2013 | Reviews
From Locus Magazine's March 2013 issue
It's difficult to capture how perfectly attuned to this story of art and artists the prose Hand uses to render it is. But by capturing vivid texture and detail, we feel the world as close around Merle and Arthur as they do — and with an artist's vantage. Classic Reprints: MarchFriday 22 March 2013 | Monitor

Lavie Tidhar: Stranger Than PulpFriday 15 March 2013 | Perspectives
Excerpts from Locus Magazine's March Issue interview
Osama was a very honest book, because it's really about me and my wife, even though it starts in Vientiane. The narrative tone alternates between noir and reportage, and the pulp bits are supposed to be pulp. I'm obsessed with Israeli pulp fiction. Locus Bestsellers, MarchThursday 14 March 2013 | Magazine
Bestsellers from specialty bookstores are led by Jim Butcher's Cold Days, George R.R. Martin's A Storm of Swords, J.R.R. Tolkien's The Hobbit, and titles by David Falconer and Karen Traviss.

Special to Locus Online
Like prequel volumes Point of Hopes (1995) and Point of Knives (2012), the Lambda Literary Award winning Point of Dreams is a genre-bending police-procedural novel set in a secondary world in which astrology, alchemy, and necromancy are working sciences.
