So, I screwed up you guys. I’d love to blame it on my big job change last year, but honestly by December I was nicely established at the new job, which is a long-winded way of saying I have no excuse for missing the release of Empowered Volume 12 FIVE MONTHS AGO. Mea culpa. And

(For once – Kathryn.) (Yes ALL RIGHT. – Elizabeth) Anyway, the final two episodes of season three solve the mystery of Rutherford, bring T’Lyn to
I’ve reviewed and enjoyed a couple of John Wiswell’s Hugo-nominated stories, but this is his debut novel. And wow, what a debut. In this fairy-tale-but-not-really, a monster who’s been terrorizing a small town meets a kindhearted traveler who’s entire family is monstrous, and somehow each of them are exactly what the other one needs. …her
This week in Night Vale, Cecil’s starting a new segment: Missed Connections. I’m sure you’re all familiar with the concept, where you throw all of your longing and regret into the public forum in the hopes that one person (or in the case here, one car, one planet, one train, or one very untrustworthy partner
