Deals and Zones
The Beauty! The Titan version is a US Daily Deal for the Kindle from the 7th to 13th July – $1.99. It’s very weird and very good to think of people still reading that book.
The latest edition of Interzone is now available, and it’s a great mixture of fiction, articles and reviews, as ever. My Climbing Stories column this month is about portmanteau horror films and stitching together your own tailored horror film according to your interests. I’ve been watching a lot of Amicus etc. for a while as background inspiration for a story I’ve been working on, so it was lovely to be able to make a piece of non-fiction on the subject, too.
As an aside, many thanks to the Runalong The Shelves blog, which regularly reviews Interzone and other magazines, and draws attention to the brilliant writing happening there. (Also there was great coverage of the recent Clarke Award!)
Talking of reviews, The Creator has been picking up some really interesting commentary. Thank you to everyone who’s looked at my horror novella of science, art, power and envy. Here are some links:
I’m delighted to think The Creator is finding its way to readers. I loved writing it as a homage to certain stories that are so important to me.
Aaaaaand to the future… There should be some news coming some time in July about my next project – I will post it up on the blog. This next one is really weird. I know, I know, I always say that.
