The latest reviews and mentions of Tachyon titles and authors from around the web.

Congratulations to editor Ellen Datlow and artist John Picacio on winning 2020 Hugo Awards.

Worcester (MA) Public Library Virtual Science Fiction Book Club selected Kage Baker’s IN THE COMPANY OF THIEVES as their July title.

Andreea aka INFINITE TEXT was excited by the review blurb in Carrie Vaughn’s THE IMMORTAL CONQUISTADOR. She also previews forthcoming Tachyon books DRIFTWOOD by Marie Brennan, NUCLEATION by Kimberly Unger, THE MIDNIGHT CIRCUS by Jane Yolen, and THE FOUR PROFOUND WEAVES by R.B. Lemberg.

In support of the Kickstarter for Recognize Fascism Anthology, contributor (and Tachyon editor) Jaymee Goh reads from her selection.

For The New York Times, Stephen King praises Lauren Beukes’s “splendid” new thriller Afterland.

The flap copy on my advance edition declares that “Afterland” is a “high-concept feminist thriller that Lauren Beukes fans have been waiting for.” It is a thriller, I grant you that, and feminist in the sense that most of the men have been erased by a flu virus that develops into prostate cancer, but Beukes is too wise and story-oriented to wham away at ideas that have been thoroughly explored, sometimes at tedious length, on cable news and social media. She lets her tale do the talking, and the results are quite splendid.
