Stefan Dziemianowicz reviews Stephen Jones' Best New Horror 25Thursday 25 September 2014 | Reviews
From Locus Magazine's September 2014 issue
Stephen Jones's Mammoth Book of Best New Horror series celebrates its 25th anniversary this year, a landmark by any standard in genre publishing. Paul Di Filippo reviews David ShaferWednesday 24 September 2014 | Reviews
Special to Locus Online
Ending satisfyingly but with ultimate outcome uncertain, WTF deals with its big themes in a sprightly yet serious fashion. If you were to fuse Max Barry's Lexicon with Dave Eggers's The Circle, then blend in some of Matt Ruff's Bad Monkeys, you might approach the lunatic sanity and gonzo wisdom of Shafer's accomplished debut.

Reviews of new stories in Analog, Asimov's, Strange Horizons, and of Octavia Cade's novella The Don't Girls
"A Hunger for Games?": A Review of The Maze Runner
Saturday 20 September 2014 | Reviews
Special to Locus Online
The Maze Runner, as one hardly needs to say about any major film that achieves wide release, is a fast-paced, involving adventure with excellent special effects, and there are even hints of an imperfectly realized effort to achieve a sort of profundity not found in the novel. Periodicals: mid-SeptemberFriday 19 September 2014 | Monitor
New issues of Analog, Asimov's, and Perihelion
Gary K. Wolfe reviews Genevieve ValentineThursday 18 September 2014 | Reviews
From Locus Magazine's September 2014 issue
The real achievement of Genevieve Valentine's The Girls at the Kingfisher Club isn't just that it recasts the princesses as flappers in 1927 New York — even Anne Sexton saw that coming when in her version she described them as dancing "like taxi girls at Roseland" — but in delicately balancing her language between the transparent directness of the folktale and the contemporary sensibility of the novel. Paul Di Filippo reviews Jay LakeWednesday 17 September 2014 | Reviews
Special to Locus Online
This volume contains over thirty stories, published from 2007 to 2013, so there is assuredly little overlap with Lake's earlier collections. In other words, we are getting his mature work, written almost precisely in the interstices of his illness, which began in 2008. New Books : 16 SeptemberTuesday 16 September 2014 | Monitor
Jay Lake's "Last Collection" Last Plane to Heaven, and titles by Barnett, Cato, Hoover, Mamatas & Washington, Marr, Pagliassotti, Prineas, Shearman, Stroud, Yancey, and Zhang

Nicola Griffith: The Body & the WorldSunday 14 September 2014 | Perspectives
Excerpts from Locus Magazine's September Issue interview
I like to write about women who are the subject, not objects. I like to write about women who do rather than have done to them. They might do bad things — a lot of my women do bad things — but they do them because they seem like efficient ways to deal with what's going on. I’m very much a creature of the body. New in Paperback: SeptemberSaturday 13 September 2014 | Monitor
Robert Charles Wilson's Burning Paradise and titles by Brust & White, Donaldson, Farmer, Gemmell, Hair, Lake, Mooney & Fawcett, Palwick, Shinn, Stirling, and Weber & Lindskold
Paul Di Filippo reviews Benjamin ParzybokFriday 12 September 2014 | Reviews
Special to Locus Online
Whatever silly tag we try to affix on Parzybok and Sherwood Nation, the undeniable truth is, he's a unique voice who's delivered a very good book that is both comic and tragic, grounded and fanciful, closely observed and well imagined. Locus Bestsellers, SeptemberThursday 11 September 2014 | Magazine
Bestsellers from specialty bookstores are led by Jim Butcher's Skin Game, George R.R. Martin's A Game of Thrones, Neil Gaiman's The Ocean at the End of the Lane, and titles by David R. George III and R.A. Salvatore.

Yoon Ha Lee: Axioms & TheoremsSunday 7 September 2014 | Perspectives
Excerpts from Locus Magazine's September Issue interview
I approach writing like it's an equation. What is the... moral is maybe too loaded a term... but what is the thing at the end that the reader should come away with? What is the final conclusion? What is the theorem that I am trying to prove, and what are the axioms that will get me there, and how do I show the steps? Periodicals: early SeptemberSaturday 6 September 2014 | Monitor

Cory Doctorow: Audible, Comixology, Amazon, and Doctorow's First LawWednesday 3 September 2014 | Perspectives
From Locus Magazine's September Issue.
It's been half a decade since I coined "Doctorow's first law of electronic publishing": "Any time someone puts a lock on something that belongs to you, and won't give you the key, you can be sure that the lock isn't there for your benefit." I'm talking, of course, about "digital rights management." New Books : 2 SeptemberTuesday 2 September 2014 | Monitor
