Here's a quick spotlight on a blog that will be new to some of you - OrthoCuban. He's a Cuban and an Orthodox priest. Recently some of his posts have fallen smack-bang in the middle of our area of interest:
The furry universe and vampire chick-lit - in which the LGG's Ken Pick and Infinite Space, Infinite God (eds. Karina and Rob Fabian) are discussed;
Christian vampire stories - in which the LGG's Sue Dent and her books Never Ceese and Forever Richard get the treatment;
and G.K. Chesterton on fairytales - for a rather more historical voice than our Guild can provide.
And this from Johne Cook - get Issue 55 of RayGun Revival here!
