Science Fiction Roundup

Small Beer Press, best known for publishing Kelly Link's work, is having a
sale. I've yet to read any of Link's stories but, following the endless raves she's gotten for her new short story collection Magic For Beginners, I plan to rectify that mistake soon. And for those who don't know the work of Howard Waldrop, please pick up one of his books and enjoy the almost infinite amount of fun that the man can generate.

On a sad note, the brilliant author Octavia Butler has died. I'm only familiar with her shorter fiction, all great, but a fitting tribute to the woman would be an extensive tour of her work.
