    Ep #177 Ray Nayler Returns to talk his new novel Where the Axe is Buried

    In 2023 my top read of the year was Ray Nayler’s debut novel The Mountain of the Sea. Not only that it is one of my favorite novels of the 21st century so far. Last year Nayler followed up that novel with the amazing novella Tusks of Extinction. Ray came on the podcast to talk about both of those books. I recommend reading both and listening to both interviews. Ray Nayler is a great guest, his combination of SF fandom, knowledge of science, and intergovernmental experience created a literary unicorn. One unbelievable alchemy of thought and talent spit out a sophomore masterpiece Where the Axe is Buried. In this conversation, we mostly focus on Where the Axe is Buried. We get into a little PKD, Putin, and oligarchy.

  2. Episode #176 SF Hall of Fame #11 Murray Leinster’s First Contact

    3 DE FEV.

    Episode #176 SF Hall of Fame #11 Murray Leinster’s First Contact

    In 1970, Avon Books published a landmark anthology, “Science Fiction Hall of Fame,” featuring 26 classic short stories that represent landmark tales of the genre. The stories were voted on by the members of the new (at the time, in the late 1960s) organization Science Fiction Writers of America. In this series, I will be joined by a panel of guests to break down these stories and talk about the authors in the book. In this episode, I am joined by retired professors Brian Attebery and Steven Shaviro. Brian Attebery writer and emeritus professor of English and philosophy at Idaho State University and The author of The Fantasy Tradition in American Literature: From Irving to Le Guin. Steven Shaviro is a retired Wayne State professor, philosopher, and cultural critic whose areas of interest include film theory and Science Fiction He is the author of Fluid Futures. We talk about Murray Leinster and his 1945 classic First Contact. We go deep into the aythor’s history, some of his other classic stories, the issue of Astounding that came out the month of Nazi surrender. Also I get into his major impact on one of the most popular authors of all time.

    Episode 175: Interview with Kyle Winkler author of Boris Says the Words

    Welcome to a long overdue episode of postcards. Kyle Winkler, say much in common. Hoosiers, dickheads and we could’ve talked about those things but this episode is Kyle’s amazing self-published novel Boris Says the Words. The best self-published novel I have ever read. What genre are we talking about? That is the first problem that shouldn’t be a problem this novel has. Boris Says the Words is many genres. Science Fiction, yes, but also Horror, but also Bizarro and surreal. All those labels are fair but also on their own would sell this novel short. Don’t think for one second that the literary or artistic merit is lacking because Winkler didn’t want to wait for the right publisher to figure it out. To me this book has merit of high literature, and I can’t wait any longer for you to hear this conversation.

    Episode #174: Stephen Graham Jones Talking Buffalo Hunter Hunter

    Stephen Graham Jones should need little introduction. He was the guest on the 13th episode of this podcast, talking about his horror masterpiece The Only Good Indian. He was also on a panel episode with Paul Tremblay and Josh Malerman talking about one of our favorite topics Basketball. Very excited to point out that I got to be Stpehen’s first interview on this incredible vampire novel Buffalo Hunter Hunter. In this conversation we talk about Stpehen’s Vampire class that inspired this book, his process on it, some of our favorite vampire classics and of course the forthcoming novel (out 3/18/25). We stay mostly spoiler free, but I give a warning before we go deeper into the themes and the final act. Buffalo Hunter Hunter was one of the best reads I had last year. One of the new releases I consider a masterpiece. Very excited to offer this episode. •You can find my books here: Amazon-https://www.amazon.com/David-Agranoff/e/B004FGT4ZW •And me here: Goodreads-http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/2988332.David_Agranoff Twitter-https://twitter.com/DAgranoffAuthor Blog-http://davidagranoff.blogspot.com/

    Episode # 173: Interview with Michael Allen Rose the Editor of Fragile

    In this episode, I am joined by Author, Editor, publisher, showman, and Bizarro Writers Association Pres Michael Allen Rose. We are gathered here today to talk about his amazing new anthology Fragile. A collection of stories by various authors all starting with the same prompt. Fragile features lots of authors I love from Laura Lee Bahr, Garrett Cook, Brian Keene, Mykle Hansen, and Emma Johnson to name a few. Michael Allen Rose had a fun concept, but what is cool is how hard he is working to boost up all the authors involved. We talk about Michael’s background, his personal books, and how Fragile came together.
