Links Are Your Friend

Longer stuff coming up in the next couple days, but for now a bit of link happiness.

♦ This sharp, compassionate essay, by Jenny Turner, is one of the better pieces of writing about fiction (maybe the best) that I’ve read in the last couple years. It is written very well, and says some things that badly needed saying. (It’s about some vampire interlopers you may have heard of.)

♦ I’ve been reading the short story Web site 5 Chapters. I quite like some of the writing, and I also want to note that the serial format is a pleasure to find on the Web. In a box-set, download-friendly culture—and I write this as someone who loves box sets and the Web—suspense and a certain kind of fan experience can be casualties.
