The latest issue of Neo-Opsis magazine has a nice review of Matthew Hughes’s Majestrum and The Spiral Labyrinth. Here’s a snippet: “Anything by Matthew Hughes is in the ‘must read’ category. … Hughes is a master of the ironic monolog … And just underneath the irony lies a whole other layer of philosophical debate that underpins much of Matthew Hughes writing.  In other words, Matthew Hughes is seriously funny.”

Over at SF Site, Rich Horton reviews Pump Six by Paolo Bacigalupi: “Pump Six and Other Stories, with its retrospective organization and in that it features the author’s entire published short fiction to date, quite strikingly positions Paolo Bacigalupi as one of the best young SF writers of our time: a writer who has already done first-rate work and who is ready, I feel sure, to really thrill us.”

For the Shirley Jackson Awards blog, Charles Tan interviews Laird Barron, author of The Imago Sequence.

UK newspaper The Guardian reviews Incandescence by Greg Egan: “Hard SF aficionados … will revel in Egan’s depiction of life in a post-singularity future.”

At Adventures in Reading, Joe Sherry reviews Joe Lansdale’s Dead in the West: “A Joe Lansdale novel is a vicious treat and Dead in the West has to be one of his best. This is not to be missed.”

Green Man Review covers The Demon and the City: “Williams creates the perfect second book in a series. While maintaining the best elements of the first book, The Demon and the City also maintains a distinctiveness in character, plot, and focus that makes reading it a different, albeit no less enjoyable, experience than Snake Agent.”
