 AntiSF on the edge of its deadline...or is it on top of Australia?
Something new this month, but you will need to work to access it. This and future issues will feature — shock, horror, rampant speculation — somewhat longer than 500 word stories.
How's that? Simply reading the vanilla website won't do, but here's how to get your Easter eggs out of season:
Michael Valentine Smith and I will grok you again next issue. Grumbles.
Nuke.

Eulogy For An Uncommon Man |
 |
 |
 |
|
In life he was a gentle giant with a cheerful disposition; quick with a quip and eager to lend a helping hand to all who needed it.
In death he was a predator, swift with a bite and rake of claws, keen to sever an artery and dine on brains.

The Lord of Lies - by Sam Bowring |

Review by Jean Gordon
The Lord Of Lies, by Sam Bowring, Hachette Australia, August 2012: Book Two of the Strange Threads Duology.
 I was very eager to pick up The Lord of Lies. The Legacy of Lord Regret had left me hanging, and I was very much looking forward to what I had every reason to expect would be a conclusion equally as strong as the start. As it turned out, while the book was very good, I don't know that it quite stands up to the first one.
The story picks up directly where The Legacy of Lord Regret left off, with the various players still trying to find (or make) a place for themselves in the world. Some, as one would expect, are doing better than others.

The Host - 2013
 I bet there are some brown-eyed people who look upon blue-eyed people as aliens. Well, now it's official. In Stephenie Meyer's film, The Host, your eyes change to a cold pale blue when you've been taken over by an alien.
Melanie, played by Saoirse Ronan, who also starred in Lovely Bones, is taken over by a host 1,000 years old called Wanderer.

Today I graduated magna cum laude with a Doctorate in Floor-Sweeping.
Tomorrow I attempt yet again, my Doctorate in Nose-Blowing.
Maybe one day I'll be able to afford a Masters in Pure and Applied Arse-Licking, and can get a job.
