But one that I'll snap up, come next February:

Jurassic London are pleased to announce Speculative Fiction 2012: The Year's Best Online Reviews & Commentary, capturing the best of 2012's blogs, websites and other digital publications.

With the online reviewing community larger than ever before, Speculative Fiction aims to both capture and celebrate the best in genre non-fiction: the top book reviews, criticism and essays of the year.

This is almost a book I've wanted for years. The book I want would be a full yearbook for sf's conversations about itself, and therefore draw from all venues, professional and non-professional, digital and print; so I think it's a shame that this volume is limited to digital non-professional from that point of view. But anything that attempts to capture a snapshot of the way the field talks about itself is interesting to me, and there's certainly no shortage of good potential material for this book: Martin McGrath on Stina Leicht, say, or Kameron Hurley on rethinking power structures, or Aidan Moher's A Dance With Dragons one year later, or Rochita Loenen-Ruiz on decolonizing as an sf writer, or, or, or ... they have a form for people to submit recommendations, which I suspect I'll be making use of over the next few months. Best of luck to Justin Landon and Jared Shurin with this project.

Meanwhile, we have a new issue! A story by Dorothy Yarros, a poem by Ann K Schwader, and reviews of books by Madeline Ashby and Jay Kristoff by Marina Berlin and Matt Hilliard.

Looking back, I see that my initial hope for this episode was that the mud would have a heartbeat and a heart that has teeth and crippling anxiety. Some of that hope has become a reality, but at what cost?
to work under the / moon is to build a formidable tomorrow
Significantly, neither the humans nor the tigers are shown to possess an original or authoritative version of the narrative, and it is only in such collaborative and dialogic encounters that human-animal relations and entanglements can be dis-entangled.
