The last of the Freddy the Pig posts, Freddy and the Dragon is up at Tor.com. Bit of an anti-climax to a long and unexpected ride.

Next week, or maybe two weeks: Edward Eager. I'd say more, but I'm feeling kinda wretched, so the more will have to wait a bit.

The latest post, about Freddy and Simon the Dictator is up at Tor.com.

Absolutely none of the previous Freddy books prepared me for this one, much less the thorough dissection of the corruption of the Republican party -- in a 1956 kid's book. Or the rat torture. Read on. I'll go comfort myself with Freddy the Magician.

3. In the nobody saw this coming bit, Tropical Storm Chris strengthened into Hurricane Chris this ( Read more... )

And the latest Tor.com post is up, about Freddy and Mr. Camphor. Those with issues with patriotic insects should perhaps wait for next week's installment.

As a general note, since Tor.com was also chatting about the New Yorker versus science fiction yesterday, the Freddy books were written by a New Yorker writer/editor. I think the real question here is ( Read more... )

...but I just haven't been in a blogging mood. Again. But a few things I ought to mention:

1) The weekly Tor.com post, about the next book in the Freddy series, The Story of Freginald, has popped up on Tor.com.

2) And as long as I'm chatting about Tor.com, also appearing on the site today is a preview of the cover for A Memory of Light, the ( Read more... )

1. I meant to post links to these two things earlier, but forgot: H.P. Lovecraft answers your relationship questions (from lots of people around the internet) and the various problems that pop up when you live in a secondary world and have unexpected access to Twitter.
