reviews of Farscape, The Life of Death, and the NYRSF reading
People are talking about me on the Internet!
Mark L. Blackman writes up the New York Review of Science Fiction reading from this past Tuesday featuring self and Laura Anne Gilman.
Money quote:
After a brief break, Keith R.A. DeCandido took the stage. He is the author of more than 40 novels, dozens of novellas, short stories and comic books, as well as non-fiction pieces. He, too, offered the audience a choice of two pieces: a standalone short story, or a piece of a novel. The audience went for a selection from the first volume of his SCPD (Super City Police Department) series, The Case of the Claw. His selection couldn't have been more different from Gilman's. Set in the titular metropolis, ordinary, non-super cops try to maintain law and order in a city of costumed vigilantes and superheroes, and super-villains, such as the half-man/half-avian, taloned serial killer, the Claw. (It should appeal to fans of Brian Michael Bendis' comic-book series Powers, which DeCandido says that he has never seen. As it happens, DeCandido also writes high-fantasy police procedurals, Dragon Precinct and the current Unicorn Precinct, which, he related, one reviewer had described as "Dungeons and Dragnet.")
Hayes Hudson reviews The Life of Death, the documentary featuring me, on his House of Horror blog, saying all kinds of nice things about it without actually mentioning my contribution by name. (This is fairly standard for reviews of this DVD, honestly, and I'm okay with it -- I'm far from the most famous or interesting person on that doc....)
And Brandon Barrows is once again disappointed by Farscape #22. Having just seen the colors for #23, I'm really curious what he's going to think of that one.........
