Intergalactic Medicine Show just published the first installment of my new “small screen” or TV/DVD review column, CAMERA OBSCURA. In the column, I review the first three episodes of season one of the new Dr. Who.
I expect a lot of people will disagree with my opinion, so let the hating begin!

Shocked and dismayed that Charlie Finlay’s collection, Wild Things, had no customer reviews at Amazon, I whipped one up, which I shall reproduce here:
If this book only contained Finlay’s brilliant Nebula and Hugo Award-nominated reinvention of space opera, “The Political Officer,” it would be worth buying for that story alone. But fortunately, the book’s also got thirteen other compelling and finely-crafted tales, which run the gamut from humor to alternate history to swords-and-sorcery. This variety makes for an interesting reading experience, as if Finlay wanted to take the reader on a tour through all of what science fiction and fantasy has to offer. And Finlay seems equally adept at each of the subgenres he explores, so it’s not a matter of him trying new things until he finds something that works; it’s more like having written a great story in one subgenre, he goes looking for new kingdoms to conquer.Technorati Tags: books, science fiction, fantasy

“…an infectious and clever reinvention of the vampire novel…[Westerfeld] is a natural storyteller…”
