His alter ego, The Widowmaker, was the monster heel all the marks loved to hate. Now, after a brutal encounter with two psychotic fans left his face horribly disfigured, he’s just a monster. […]

If there is anything that’s guaranteed to flush out my inner geek, its science fiction and fantasy art on album covers. Long before the word “geek” came into more common usage, I was a schoolboy who saved all his pocket money to buy record albums and books. Many of them I purchased for the cover […]

Welcome to another edition of SF Book Releases This Week! A couple observations on this week’s titles. First, William Meikle.

Welcome to another SF Book Releases post! The first one on our list, Burning Paradise, by Robert Charles Wilson, is at the top of my currently reading queue. The alien race that he’s created is very interesting, and the alternate history US where these aliens have prevented war for a century makes for a unique […]
