SOMAFM has released a podcast of Daryl Gregory and Hannu Rajaniemi at March’s SFinSF event.

READ DIVERSE BOOKS praises Nalo Hopkinson’s FALLING IN LOVE WITH HOMINIDS.

When I finish a book as daring, creative, and fantastically unique as Nalo Hopkinson’s FALLING IN LOVE WITH HOMINIDS, the book lover in me can’t help but smile in wonder at the power of words. Their ability to transport us into a myriad different worlds and allow us to see through as many perspectives is truly magical. In these 18 short stories, Hopkinson proves herself to be a consummate master of creating magical worlds and unique perspectives.

Many of these stories are quite short, some as short as 3 pages long, but in their evanescence they leave a lasting impression.

FALLING IN LOVE WITH HOMINIDS shines not because its stories are cohesive and coalesce to create a grand work of literature– it shines because the stories are remarkably diverse, disparate and undeniably original. I won’t give it a 5 star rating because not every story was great and I wanted a few more of the longer stories. Nevertheless, this World Fantasy Award winner is certainly worth your time and should be added to any Fantasy lover’s collection.

Mike Davis of THE LOVECRAFT EZINE interviews Ellen Datlow about all things Lovecraft including LOVECRAFT’S MONSTERS.

Mike Davis at The Lovecraft’s eZine recommends four new Lovecraftian books including Ellen Datlow’s newest anthology Lovecraft’s Monsters. Davis succinctly sums up his reasoning behind the selection.

If you see the words “edited by Ellen Datlow” on a book… buy it. Always.
