Review: Still Just A Geek by Wil Wheaton

In 2004, Wil Wheaton released his memoir, Just A Geek, largely based off of his blog. Last year, he updated it. Still Just A Geek is, above all, a celebration of personal growth. He acknowledges that he could be an ass back then, and likely still. …

Review: Terry Pratchett: A Life With Footnotes by Rob Wilkins

Major confession time: I am not a Terry Pratchett fan. I simply have never managed to get into his work. Gaiman yes, Pratchett no. So this is another book I would never have read if it hadn’t landed in the Hugo packet. …

Review: Blood, Sweat, and Chrome by Kyle Buchanan

If you’re old enough, you probably have a strong memory of Tina Turner in Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome. If you aren’t, you probably still have a strong memory of Charlize Theron in Mad Max: Fury Road. As Furiosa she stands alongside Sigourney Weaver’s Ellen Ripley as a certain type of…

A Look at This Year’s Hugo Nominated Short Fiction

I am going to stick my neck out and say that short fiction awards are the hardest to win. Best Novel has the prestige, but each and every year sees thousands of truly excellent short stories. This also means the category is often the hardest to vote in (It usually…

The Swarm Episode Review: Season One, Episode Two

CW: Slime-adjacent substance in the teaser. If you’re sensitive to that kind of thing, may not want to watch this while eating. We’re starting to get an idea as to what is going on, and it has to do with ice worms and ice eating bacteria. Which may be alien…

Cinema Disaster: Ogre

This SyFy original stars Bo Duke, from The Dukes of Hazzard. It starts with a plague in a small town in Pennsylvania and people “accepting the consequences whatever they may be.” By the way, when anyone asks you that question, you say no. …

A Look at This Year’s Hugo Nominated Novelettes

So, with the two short fiction categories, I’m going to go through all the stories. I tend to find it hard to write decently long reviews of novelettes and short stories. Starting with the novelettes: “The Difference Between Love and Time” by Catherynne M. Valente Even by Valente standards, this story is weird, about somebody who has a lifelong love…

Review: Where the Drowned Girls Go by Seanan McGuire

I will note, Wayward Children is my least favorite Seanan McGuire series. (My less than popular first choice is InCryptid). But she has produced some very good novellas in this series. Where the Drowned Girls Go is one of the stronger ones. It’s ultimately about abuse. Actually? It’s about conversion…

Review: What Moves the Dead by T. Kingfisher

The best character in this novella is the horse. I haven’t seen a horse done as a character so well in a while. The novella is, otherwise, a retelling of “The Fall of the House of Usher,” the famous Poe story. It’s given the fairytale retelling treatment. …
