Your start-of-the-week catch-up

We’re currently smack-bang in the idle of London Book Fair, and though flights in and out of the UK are rarer than a terrifying vampire, it sems to have kicked off well.

In weblnd, of course, things are running quite nicely.

If you’re a Twitter fan, and follow William Gibson (@greatdismal) you may well have seen him tweet about Lauren Beukes’ Moxyland:

“Moxyland” does lots of things, masterfully, that lots of sf never even guesses that it *could* be doing.

Praise doesn’t get much better than that!

Being dead is clearly no barrier to having your own website. If you’re a fan of Tim Waggoner’s wonderful Matt Richter series (beginning with Nekropolis), head on over to the new, official site: www.nekropoliscity.com – book trailer, blog (from Matt’s point of view) and more…

Spellmaking has a review of Mike Shevdon’s urban fantasy, Sixty-One Nails:

I was hooked and I’m very much looking forward to reading the next volume in the sequence when it appears. If you’re a fan of UF – or even if you’re not – I’d recommend this book.

Meanwhile, not content with writing some of the bloodiest – and most thrilling – fantasy sequences currently being published, Andy Remic has turned his talents once again to video. Here’s his latest offering: a taste of what’s to come with Soul Stealers, the sequel to his epic fantasy debut, Kell’s Legend. Click on the image to launch.

Aliette de Bodard’s Servant of the Underworld continues to impress. At Speculative Book Review we learn:

From page one I was drawn into Acatl’s world… a remarkable historically-based fantasy, using the myths and legends of the Aztec people as a background to a twisting murder mystery.
