July 17, 2016 Malazan is Falling I have a hypothesis. For some authors there comes a time when success becomes a liability. My recent reading consisted, in part, of slogging through Ian Esslemont’s “Dancer’s Lament” and Steven Erikson’s “Fall of Light.” These two books are a couple data points of observable phenomena supporting my hypothesis.… Continue reading Malazan is Falling.

It’s Criminal. Resurrected Post.
July 10, 2016 It’s Criminal I suppose the appropriate thing for me today would be to write about last week’s Westercon. I’m used to doing the inappropriate, might be best you get accustomed to it as well. Today’s web log post will instead consist of a bit of upcoming news.

Michael Moorcock, Appendix N’s Prince of Angst. Resurrected Post.
May 22, 2016 Michael Moorcock, Appendix N’s Prince of Angst It is only fair that I begin my web log post on Michael Moorcock with the positives of my assessment. He deserves recognition for is contribution to the field and I’m the last man to withhold his just due.

More Too Late Book Reviews. Resurrected Post.
March 27, 2016 More Too Late Book Reviews I admit that I get around to reading certain influential, well-regarded, even seminal books rather late. Given finite time, the truth is many of them I’ll give a miss entirely. Better late than never, goes the axiom, a truism that’s probably circumstantial in application. In the circumstance… Continue reading More Too Late Book Reviews. Resurrected Post.
