We post about the best in indie and traditionally published fiction, in addition to reporting on the latest in Sci-Fi and Fantasy culture and current events. Our authors are authors and fans themselves, written with an eye for entertainment and accuracy. Yes, we’d rather be right than first. If you think there’s something you think we should know, email our Culture Correspondent Michael Gallagher at mjpgallagher38@gmail.com.
