I’ve just read Charles Stross’s interview over at Scalpel, which is as effortlessly entertaining as his fiction writing.

But, the reason for this post is that I’ve just finished reviewng David Gunn’s first novel, Death’s Head (to appear at some future date in Vector). Six hundred words, I had, to explain why I didn’t like it.

Charles Stross managed to sum it all up in two: “carnographic war-porn”.

Perfect.

And the clever bugger didn’t even have to read the damn book.
