Grand Master/Author Emeritus News
SFWA announced today that William F. Nolan will be named the 2006 Author Emeritus, and Harlan Ellison will be named a Grand Master.
Congrats to both!
On the Asimov’s forum, someone was asking for Ellison recommendations. Here’s what I said:
For my money, you’ve absolutely GOT to read “The Deathbird.” Oh, and “Jefty is Five.” Also high on my list of Ellison faves are “A Boy and His Dog” and “I Have No Mouth But I Must Scream.” Of his lesser known stuff, “Along the Scenic Route” is one of my faves. He’s such a master at the short story length though, he’s got a lot of great ones to choose from. There’s one up at SCI FICTION “All the Sounds of Fear” which I liked a lot, though it doesn’t hold a candle to some of his other work listed above.

The Death of SCI FICTION
Holy crap! SCI FICTION is being discontinued by SCIFI.com. Read Ellen Datlow’s farewell message. A post by Ellen on her Nightshade Books Message Board indicates it’s true. There’s also discussion on the SCI FICTION BB.
