Came across an indie bookstore that was new to us, Subterranean Books. They had a decent horror section with some good @stephengrahamjones.com representation. The staff rec even said a non horror fan loved The Only Good Indians. I also found this great shirt but they didn’t have my size.

Malcolm was my boss for seventeen years and a very good friend for every one of those years. He scaled the heights of mainstream publishing but was always a tireless advocate for, and fan of, SFF. He was constant, gracious, very funny and a brilliant publisher. The genre owes him so much. Go well.

Rawls is the guy who shows you how to draw the line: a systematic account of why inequality exists and what its limit should be. It's through understanding him that you finally get to clarify your own instincts on how the world should work.

Read your review and this thread this morning, and bought the book this afternoon. Beautiful jacket and hard cover design.

A large book laying on a counter. The title is The Rouse written by China Miéville. The cover is a translucent gray with an image of two bare deciduous trees rising from fog.

I want to talk a bit more about this novel, The Rouse by China Mieville, because any review is kind of inadequate. You can more or less review one or two "types" of fiction it is without really even peeling away the surface. 1/?

GOD'S JUNK DRAWER is out in paperback in November!

The paperback copies of GOD'S JUNK DRAWER are arranged in two stacks, spines out, with one in the front with its cover out. The cover shows a dinosaur skeleton in a black void, along with a space suit helmet, a human skull, a bionic arm, and a stone-tipped spear. The toy Allosaurus looms behind the stack of books.

"Beyond the Illustrated Man, rounding the corner, hands weaving the air, dressed in harlequin Gypsy colours, face waxen, eyes hid behind plum-dark glasses, the Fortune Teller, the Dust Witch came mumbling." Florid? Purple? Sentimental? DON'T CARE - Bradbury's genius is in full flow in this book.

Written in 2013, this trilogy predicted 1) corrupt billionaires obsessed with AI and Mars would provoke international tensions for their own agenda; 2) an outcast British prince; 3) a Spitfire-flying monkey would escape a video game and wreak havoc across Europe.... So, I guess 2 out of 3 ain't bad.

Rough day, so have a poem about the Jar of Moles in the Grant Zoology Museum in London that everyone has regarded as too thoroughly batshit to publish

Jar of Moles (Grant Zoology Museum, London)
crittery dozened things each pink snout snootling
formaldehyde up it's bamboozler which poor fuck
had to collect them out in the dirt with a shovel
here moley moley BONK . I’m only gonna
put you in a jar and let tourists go eww at you
for the next two hundred years god look at me
for two hundred years I’d do anything look
mummy, one of them’s licking the glass—
honey it's dead velvety sweet sardined hope
their ghosts are friends teeming in a molish
afterlife dark and circular everything worm-
flavoured tasty buggy snackerels what if
you smashed the mole jar? vinegared
moles spilling out flaccid & swimming
everyone screaming someone saying Freddy
you gotta get us a new jar of moles—
—goddammit boss I never asked for any of this

A jar of wet preserved moles, the jar is very full and all the little hands, feet and snoots mark it as both upsetting and fascinating
