Now listen carefully children. The new BSFA mailing arrived this morning and it contains much that is good.

The latest issue of Matrix is blessed by my own profound insights on Death Proof/Planet Terror (the Rodriguez and Tarantino’s Grindhouse double bill), 30 Days of Night, The Seeker: The Dark is Rising, Black Sheep and The Invasion.

While  Vector sees me continue the proud tradition of reviewers of the work of Adam Roberts by calling him very clever and then not really liking his novel with my review of Land of the Headless. Sorry Mr Roberts…

Oh and some other people wrote some tedious stuff that no one will ever read - I mean honestly who cares what Juliet E McKenna, Edward James, Chris Roberson, Jo Walton and Guy Gavriel Kay have to say about history/alternate history in science fiction? Or that Matrix has interviews with George Mann, the guy behind new SF publisher Solaris, and Lou Anders, the guy who has been tearing up the US scene with his Pyr imprint.

Of course no one cares…. BECAUSE I DIDN’T WRITE THOSE BITS!

When oh when will the BSFA see sense and simply publish magazines that have nothing in them but my interesting articles (and rapped wrists for anyone who dares say that’s what they do already).

If you are not a member of the BSFA, you’re missing out. Go here: www.bsfa.co.uk and join. NOW!
