PSA – just in case it wasn’t already sort of obvious, Bad Book Cover Fridays are on hiatus while I plumb new depths of procrastination finish my theses (holycrap).

In the meantime, please enjoy the ever-encyclopedic David Forbes’ mind-blowing essay,  “Sovereign Bleak” (via Coilhouse) on sci-fi landmarks and the philosophical trends that shaped them.

    finish my theses (holycrap).
    Yes.

    That is a fascinating article. I’m both entranced and horrified by the Bradbury and Ellison mentioned, particularly “I Have No Mouth,” which would give me nightmares if I were the nightmare type.
