“And the more I've done that work [curation], the more it's become clear to me that a lot of the work of making value judgments happens before you begin to review a text or feature an artist. Curation is how we shape culture”
Excellent essay from @charliejane.bsky.social on book criticism

For the weekend crowd, our Carpe Jugulum episode is here
It's witches vs vampires, in a book that's a low-key sequel to Small Gods, and features the final Weatherwax ending. Including genre-savvy vampires and the varied roles of witches.

We make a point of not reposting substack articles, but this is an important enough post about the social movements behind Capital R Romance, plus the most recent attempt at book banning, that we’re reposting anyway. It’s worth a read

Going to re-up our call to nominate On Spec for Best Semiprozine at the Hugos
With Canadian identity under attack by USA-based alt-right political forces, it's an important moment to celebrate things that are weirdly Canadian
This is also their last year of eligibility. Throw them a vote, please.
Thank you to @authorsabb.bsky.social heroes @beccacoffindaffer.bsky.social and Ed Underhill, we have some slides that can be shared by anyone about this, with particular reps to target. Let's kill this bill in committee.

Another Hugo nomination-time thread! And in this one, I'll be talking about novellas.
(this thread will probably go long, sorry-not-sorry)
In an effort to review more of the trad books I read, here's my review of Logan-Ashley Kisner's trans werewolf YA horror, The Transition! If you've got any trans kids at home who're also horror fans, this one's likely to be a hit: beforewegoblog.com/review-the-t...

NEW REVIEW: I am going to be honest here! Much like Paul Tremblay, Stephen Graham Jones is one of those authors that really frustrates me. He is brilliant, without a shadow of a doubt. Anyway, here’s a review of The Buffalo Hunter Hunter

I read The Fox and the Devil by Kirsten White. This book felt like what would happen if Bram Stoker wrote The Devil in the White City.
Come see if I thought it worked!

City of Others, by Jared Poon (pub by @orbitbooks.bsky.social) is an excellent urban fantasy debut, a perfect choice if you are looking for a different setting that also captures the contrasts that are in the nature of Singapore.

I know I buy far too many books but I like to think that lining the walls of my house with them wards off evil in some deeply important way.
Note from my notebook (2016). Nothing has changed.
