The problem with people who use terms like “nihilist fantasy” is that there tends to be a fairly good point frequently buried under a mountain of shit that inevitably turns into the most bizarre paranoia ever spewed about fantasy. That…
I think, if I have a least favorite word of 2011, it’s “genre.” Or specifically, “the genre.”
Set down your pitchforks, I don’t mean it like that. “That” being the sense of a hooty-tooty fresh-and-fruity critic of mainstream fiction, all…
I had originally intended to publish this before New Year’s, but there were a few obstacles that arose to be overcome. Half of those obstacles were mentally dealt with and annihilated while the other half was safely consumed and converted…
Did you tune into Twitter last Wednesday to see my discussion with SF/F Writer Chat? I’m sure there’s a transcript of it somewhere around the internet and I’ll get it to you as soon as I can, but I’d genuinely…
Admittedly, I could have told you this earlier, but I will be gone all weekend because I am at DRAGONCON 2010!

Sam Sykes is the author of The Aeons’ Gate trilogy, a vast and sprawling story of adventure, demons, madness and carnage. Suspected by many to be at least tangentially related to most causes of human suffering, Sam Sykes is also a force to be reckoned with beyond literature.
