I’ve been quiet over the holiday period (hope everyone had a good one), but there’s been plenty to read elsewhere:
- Two reviews of Comma Press’ The New Uncanny anthology, by Salley Vickers in the Guardian and Peter Washington in the Independent
- Lisa Tuttle’s latest sf reviews cover Gwyneth Jones’ Spirit and Jasper Kent’s Twelve
- John Clute also reviews Spirit
- The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction is going bimonthly; a bit surprised not to have seen more discussion of this (unless I’ve missed it). [EDIT: See comments, also here]
- M. John Harrison reviews Gollancz’s commemorative HP Lovecraft collection
- Abigail Nussbaum on The Other Side of the Island by Allegra Goodman and Octavian Nothing II by MT Anderson and Tender Morsels by Margo Lanagan

Re F&SF going bimonthly: there’s some discussion on its forums here and then here. Summing over all the posts, you get “sad news, but not unexpected.” I assume we’ll get a fuller debate, as we do each year, when the Feb Locus comes out and we can see what happened to sales of the big three in 2008.
Ooops, sorry, first link doesn’t seem to be working. Try this.
Also here.
Thanks, though Graham, at least one of those links was in my post already: can you spot it? And see also SF Signal here, with links onward.
My first thought was that now F&SF can have a Robert Reed story in every issue and not just most of them.
Niall: Could have sworn one of those was a link to the Ansible story. Getting old.
