SPECIAL NOTES:
1. Have you all noticed the changes to our website? Not only have we updated our theme, which allows for the display of many more posts right on the front page, but we’ve also dramatically extended our coveage of the “genre” world. We’re attempting to give wide-coverage to everything genre – science fiction, fantasy, horror and their many children – across all formats from print to film to art – and to be as representative of the many different expressions of humanity behind all of that creative wonderment. We’d love to hear what you think. We’d also love suggestions as to other sources we can include.
2. This is a bi-weekly round-up of news items, so keep that in mind.
