Five StarsBy CustomerBoth in visuals and in comics' scripting, IT IS SUPERB. -- Mark Powers, horror author0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. A fitting tribute to a literary legendBy Drake VaughnRay Bradbury was a great supporter of comics, so a graphic novel tribute is a perfect fit. Not only is the art terrific, but the stories are by some of the best writers in the business. Here's what are included:By The Silver Water of Lake Champlain by Joe HillThe Man Who Forgot Ray Bradbury by Neil GaimanBackward in Seville by Audrey NiffeneggerLive Forever by Sam WellerWeariness by Harlan EllisonWho Knocks? by Dave EggersEarth (A Gift Shop) by Charles YuAltenmooor, Where the Dogs Dance by Mort CastleConjure by Alice HoffmanThe standouts of the collection are from Joe Hill (art by Charles Paul Wilson III), Sam Weller (art by Mark Sexton), Dave Eggers (art by Matthew Dow Smith), though the others are likewise entertaining. Also, the illustrations by Shane Pierce between the stories are amazing. Of course, there are fewer stories than the companion book, which is likewise excellent, but graphic adaptations run longer and there is more than enough to keep me happy. Great stories, wonderful art, I think Bradbury would be proud.1 of 9 people found the following review helpful. Very disappointed!By Anthony J AlfanoI bought the book because my wife is a fan of Joe Hill. The title of the offering includes s"Signed x 26" . That would indicate to me that the book had 26 signatures. That is not the case. My copy only contains signatures from two of the contributors/editors. Very disappointed! WINNER OF THE BRAM STOKER AWARD FOR BEST GRAPHIC NOVEL - 2016! In Shadow Show, acclaimed writers and artists such as Joe Hill, Mort Castle, Audrey Niffeneffer, Charles Paul Wilson III, Maria Frohlich, Eddie Campbell, Neil Gaiman, and more come together to pay tribute to the work of the one and only Ray Bradbury. In this graphic novel collection are stories based on "By The Silver Water of Lake Champlain," "The Man Who Forgot Ray Bradbury," "Backward in Seville," "Weariness," "Live Forever!," "Who Knocks?," "Earth (A Gift Shop)," "Altenmoor, Where the Dogs Dance," and "Conjure." From the AuthorThe editors, Chris Ryall, Carlos Guzman, Sam Weller, and I, are honored that the book has earned the 2015 Bram Stoker Award of the Horror Writers Association, for "Superior Achievement in a Graphic Novel." The celebration of the wondrous wordworker, Ray Bradbury, continues!About the AuthorJoe Hill is the #1 New York Times Bestselling Author of The Fireman, NOS4A2, Heart-Shaped Box, and Horns (which was made into a feature film starring Daniel Radcliffe). His book of short stories, 20th Century Ghosts, won the Bram Stoker Award and British Fantasy Award for Best Collection. He earned the Eisner Award for Best Writer for his long-running comic book series, Locke Key, featuring the eye-popping art of Gabriel Rodriguez.

Swartz The Hugo Awards originally were called the Science Fiction Achievement Awards and first were given out at Philcon II, the World Science Fiction Con- vention of 1953, held in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The second oldest--and most prestigious--awards in the field, they quickly were nicknamed the Hugos (officially since 1958), in honor of Hugo Gernsback (1884 -1967), founder of Amazing Stories, the first professional magazine devoted entirely to science fiction. No awards were given in 1954 at the World Science Fiction Con in San Francisco, but they were restored in 1955 at the Clevention (in Cleveland) and included six categories: novel, novelette, short story, magazine, artist, and fan magazine.

After forming a coalition of human resistance against the enemy invasion, Dalinar Kholin and his Knights Radiant have spent a year fghting a protracted, brutal war. Neither side has gained an advantage, and the threat of a betrayal by Dalinar’s crafty ally Taravangian looms over every tactical move. Now, as new technological discoveries by Navani Kholin’s scholars begin to change the face of the war, the enemy prepares a bold and dangerous operation.

Adolin and Shallan must lead the coalition’s envoy to the honorspren stronghold of Lasting Integrity and either convince the spren to join the cause against the evil god Odium, or personally face the storm of failure.

  • NOTES on PETER STRAUB "Houses Without Doors"
    PETER STRAUB: A MAGELLAN OF THE INTERIOR By John C. Tibbetts Providence RI, 1990 Peter Straub is one of America's most successful and esteemed contemporary writers of imaginative fiction. He was born in l943 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. After receiving his BA at the University of Wisconsin and his MA at Columbia University, he taught English at a boys’ school in Milwaukee in l966-68. (“It was my only real job,” he says.) During subsequent travels in Dublin and London, he wrote a volume of poetry, Open Air (l973), and his first novels, Marriages (l973), i (l975), and If You Could See Me Now (l977). In his “breakthrough” novel, Ghost Story (l979), he took the elements of fantasy and horror that had been present in his earlier work and developed them into the full-throated gothic expression that has marked all of his subsequent writing. Shadowland (l982), Floating Drago (1982), The Talisman (l984)—co-written with Stephen King, perhaps his only competitor in the American popular horror fiction market—Koko (l988), Mystery (l989), and, most recently, Black House (2001, a re-teaming with Stephen King), The Lost Boy (2003), and In the Night Room (2004). Straub has edited the Library of America volume of H.P. Lovecraft (2005), and he has confirmed that he and Stephen King will begin work on another collaboration late in 2010. In most of his works the webs and complexes of a past, or repressed, evil inevitably surface to threaten our well-ordered, “normal” world. These long and intricate novels may be read on many levels—as psychological studies, scary horror thrillers, or simply as richly allusive literary entertainments.

  • Onion Songs Available for Review
    Chômu Press Onion Songs By Steve Rasnic Tem Published by Chômu Press 13th Mar, 2013, £12.50, Paperback Original STEVE RASNIC TEM’s award-winning fiction has been compared to the work of Franz Kafka, Dino Buzzati, Ray Bradbury, and Raymond Carver. Onion Songs gathers work from the absurdist side of his impressive oeuvre. These 42 tales (5 previously unpublished) take us off the beaten track with an emphasis on the bizarre, the absurd and the meditative. Confronting the big questions of life (ageing, death, identity, relationships), Onion Songs explores the frontiers of human experience, and then makes us realise we are already there. From the attic where all the most peculiar relics of everyday life are stored, Tem unearths mindscapes as real as they are nightmarish: circus clowns cling to meaningless office jobs, skeletons fall like snow, ‘true unicorns’ rummage in garbage piles, and fires are liable to break out at any moment. These visions first engage us deeply where things ache most, then compel us to keep reading with a beauty that, for all its strangeness, we finally recognise as human. Chômu Press What People Say: “Tem’s stories are written with an enviable precision of language and the hallucinatory candour of the true visionary, but with all the signature notes of a keen and compassionate intelligence at work. Consistent in quality and diverse in content, as impressive as it is impressionistic, and spanning thirty years of the author’s career, Onion Songs is the strongest collection of short stories that I’ve read in the last year.” Peter Tennant Praise for Steve Rasnic Tem’s previous work: “Steve Rasnic Tem is a school of writing unto himself.” Joe R.

  • Sisters of the Revolution
    Sisters of the Revolution A Feminist Speculative Fiction Anthology Edited by Ann VanderMeer and Jeff VanderMeer Sisters of the Revolution gathers a highly curated selection of feminist spec- ulative fiction (science fiction, fantasy, horror, and more) chosen by one of the most respected editorial teams in speculative literature today, the award-winning Ann and Jeff VanderMeer. Including stories from the 1970s to the present day, the collection seeks to expand the conversation about feminism while engaging the reader in a wealth of imaginative ideas. From the literary heft of Angela Carter to the searing power of Octavia Butler, Sisters of the Revolution gathers daring examples of speculative fiction’s engagement with feminism. Dark, satirical stories such as Eileen Gunn’s “Stable Strategies for Middle Management” and the disturbing hor- ror of James Tiptree Jr.’s “The Screwfly Solution” reveal the charged inten- sity at work in the field. Including new, emerging voices like Nnedi Okorafor and featuring international contributions from Angelica Gorodischer and many more, Sisters of the Revolution seeks to expand the ideas of both contemporary fiction and feminism to new fronts. Moving from the fantastic to the futuristic, the subtle to the surreal, these stories will provoke thoughts SUBJECT CATEGORY and emotions about feminism like no other book available today.
