REVIEWS: F&SF JULY/AUG 2021 and PANDEMIC UNLEASHED, vol. 1
Need some good reading to distract you from the heat, the forest fires, the pandemic? How about a pandemic anthology? How about the July-August issue of the Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction? Go for it!
TIMELY REVIEW! F&SF MARCH-APRIL 2020!
Steve continues his F&SF reviews with the current (Mar-Apr) issue. He finds it a nice blend of SF (even some “hard SF”) and fantasy (even “hard” fantasy!).
REVIEW: F&SF ISSUE MAY/JUNE 2019 and MosCon RETURNS!
Steve went to MosCon XL, but won’t review it this week, then he read the May-June F&SF. Check it out! Some fabulous fiction!
TIME’S RUNNING OUT TO GET THE STORYBUNDLE! (Review)
Stamps and short stories–what’s the connection? Steve dips into a cheap (in price only!) collection of stories from award-winning authors… then tells you how to get the newest Star Trek stamps from Canada!
EBOOKS & MOVIES! A New Storybundle plus 10 CLOVERFIELD LANE and BATTLE PLANET!
Chocolate and bacon, the only things better than cheap eBooks and SF movies! (Okay, there’s sex and alcohol too.) Steve offers you both! (No, not sex and alcohol—ebooks & movies!)
STEAMPUNK JEWELRY, VCON, PHILIP K. DICK STORY BUNDLE, AND MORE!
Steve jumps around a lot this week, from VCON to Steampunk Fashion Jewelry to the Philip K. Dick Bookbundle, and back again to Ed Howdershelt!
