“Of course,” Astrid says with great professionalism. “There are many wonderful women-loving-women stories to choose from. Do you have any other parameters for me to narrow the search for you? Do you like stories set on the high sea? In the Old West? Or maybe with a speculative element, you know, like—” “Like in Barbarella?” Gus Anderson’s eyes light up. Astrid has only the vaguest impression of a young Jane Fonda in a skimpy outfit on the Barbarella movie poster, an image that serves the male gaze as its raison d’être. “Comparable titles in the sense that these stories are also set in the future, or in space, or sometimes both,” she says firmly. “Would you like some recommendations?” “Absolutely.” The old man sounds giddy. “Bring them on.” Astrid writes down This Is How You End the Time War and Gideon the Ninth for him, and then personally takes him to the stacks to retrieve The Stars Are Legion, by Kameron Hurley. “There isn’t a single man in this book. Everybody on this planet is a woman.” “Oh, my!” Gus Anderson, his head probably brimming with images of thousands of chicks making out with one another for his delectation, checks out the book and leaves happily.

A fan messaged me about this passage from Sherry Thomas's book, "The Librarians," in which a librarian has an annoying older male patron ask her for some woman-on-woman sf😂

"Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should."

The usual suspects, post Graphic Novel panel. Gary Phillips and I look like we're about to throw down and Dale Berry looks like he's trying very hard not to giggle.

“Now that Obama’s poll numbers are in tailspin – watch for him to launch a strike in Libya or Iran. He is desperate.”

The Hospitaller Moment by Brian Howell The Hospitallers had not exactly been rivals of the Templars, but, Gerard had read somewhere, they could have given them a run for their money. He was thinking about this as he leaned ...

"Then there is a sharp pain, a coldness, and the floor is where it shouldn’t be." 🏥

"The Hospitaller Moment" is a stunning new short story in House Magazine exploring the disorientating seconds when life shifts from the ordinary to the emergency.
