My review of The Best Science Fiction and Fantasy of the Year: Volume 2, (edited by Jonathan Strahan) is now online over at The Fix for those of you with yearning to read 5,500 words that were dragged like healthy teeth from the gums of someone with very strong gums (god, sometimes my mastery of the English language is terrifying, isn’t it).

And actually that’s not true, the words came out really easily - not writing 15,000 words was the hard part.

Other stuff I’ve recently written is up at the BSFA’s spiffy new Matrix Online website - including a longish article comparing the relatively few ups and not inconsiderable number of downs in the cinematic histories of comic book giants Marvel and DC, and reviews of Southland Tales, Battlestar Galactica: Razor, In the Shadow of the Moon and Jumper. Sadly you’ll have to be a member of the BSFA to read all that - but if you aren’t, why the hell not?

Hopefully I’ll get some more reviews up over at Matrix soon. I just need an hour or two to sit down and write them up.
