The Dresden Files: Welcome to the Jungle.

Your Hate Mail Will be Graded: A Decade of Whatever, 1998-2008 by John Scalzi (Subterranean Press)Įxcellent to see Rhetorics and What is is We Do … there. What It Is We Do When We Read Science Fiction by Paul Kincaid (Beccon Publications) The Vorkosigan Companion: The Universe of Lois McMaster Bujold by Lillian Stewart Carl & John Helfers, eds. Spectrum 15: The Best in Contemporary Fantastic Art by Cathy & Arnie Fenner, eds. Rhetorics of Fantasy by Farah Mendlesohn (Wesleyan University Press) Two Mike Resnick stories! And a good year for Monkey stories, it seems. “ From Babel’s Fall’n Glory We Fled” by Michael Swanwick (Asimov’s Feb 2008) “ Exhalation” by Ted Chiang (Eclipse Two) “ Evil Robot Monkey” by Mary Robinette Kowal ( The Solaris Book of New Science Fiction, Volume Two) “ Article of Faith” by Mike Resnick (Baen’s Universe Oct 2008) “ 26 Monkeys, Also the Abyss” by Kij Johnson (Asimov’s Jul 2008) On the downside, I have to read another Mike Resnick story. “ Shoggoths in Bloom” by Elizabeth Bear (Asimov’s Mar 2008)

“ The Ray-Gun: A Love Story” by James Alan Gardner (Asimov’s Feb 2008) “ Pride and Prometheus” by John Kessel (F&SF Jan 2008) “ The Gambler” by Paolo Bacigalupi ( Fast Forward 2) “ Alastair Baffle’s Emporium of Wonders” by Mike Resnick (Asimov’s Jan 2008) On the upside, at least I should get to read “The Tear” now. “ Truth” by Robert Reed (Asimov’s Oct/Nov 2008) “ True Names” by Benjamin Rosenbaum and Cory Doctorow ( Fast Forward 2) “The Tear” by Ian McDonald ( Galactic Empires) “ The Political Prisoner” by Charles Coleman Finlay (F&SF Aug 2008) “ The Erdmann Nexus” by Nancy Kress (Asimov’s Oct/Nov 2008) You know what Adam Roberts said earlier about feeling that the stuff he’s interested in and value in sf are not the things sf as a whole considers interesting or valuable? That’s how this ballot makes me feel. It’s all awards all the time, at the moment.
