Another publication announcement – let’s us hope this doesn’t start happening too often, I’m sure we’d all get terribly bored. This time it’s for a piece of non-fiction, my review/rant on Stina Leicht’s first two Fey and the Fallen books has been selected for Speculative Fiction 2012: The Best Online Reviews, Essays and Commentary. 

As is often the case, I find myself in the kind of company in which I have the vague sense that I’m the idiot boy in the corner that everyone is patting on the head and congratulating for only spilling a little of his weak lemon drink down the front of his shirt. I’m sure the Germans have a word for that…

Despite all this, I think this is book is a great idea and I’d have been buying it even if my essay wasn’t in there. I am, therefore, especially chuffed to have a piece included, and I’m looking forward to seeing which the other pieces that the editors, Jared Shurin and Justin Landon, have selected. And I’m already looking forward to the 2013 edition.
