      These Tropes Must Die. Written by a paramedic and writer with a decade of experience, 10 BS Medical Tropes covers exactly that: cliched and inaccurate tropes that not only ruin books, they have the potential to hurt real people in the real world. In this book, you’ll discover why these ten clichés make readers throw their books across the room and their remotes at their TVs, from the ever-present “gunshot to the shoulder” to the ubiquitous “knocking out the henchmen.” You’ll learn why they’re so incorrect, with easy-to-read medical explanations that may just spark your creativity. But more importantly, you’ll be inspired about what to write instead, to solve the same plot point challenges in more believable—and interesting—ways!

      Why We Still Need Monsters

      Oct 19, 2017

      It doesn’t seem enough to call Stephen Paddock, who killed 58 innocent people in Las Vegas this month, a monster. The term has lost its power to evoke the unimaginable. The beasts that terrorized the mental lives of our ancestors have been tamed by religion and culture, notes Stephen T. Asma this week in a Nautilus essay, “Why Are So Many Monsters Hybrids?”. So what do we call Paddock? Asma, a professor of philosophy at Columbia College Chicago, and author, most recently, of On Monsters and The Evolution of Imagination, says the term “monster” is not ready to be retired. The moniker suits Padd

      Whom He May Devour: Saving her planet would ban her from paradise.

      Jan 7, 2016

      Lydia watched Ahad play the guitar. He leaned against a boulder, eyes shut, his face positioned to catch the last warm rays of the setting sun. His long, slender fingers caressed the strings, producing a slow, haunting melody. The music almost made his company tolerable. She was only there because Grandmother had asked her to study this stranger, to get close, to discover what the crew of his starship was up to. Ahad seemed to be so at peace. Despite his unusual clothes and exotic facial features, he wasn’t so different from the local boys. Was he really to blame for his people’s sins? If one

      Jeff VanderMeer On Writing For Happiness and What to Read Next

      Mar 2, 2017

      Last night, Jeff VanderMeer treated fans and readers to a great AMA over at Reddit, during which he answered questions about his Southern Reach trilogy (the first of which, Annihilation, is soon to be a film), the writing process, climate change, genre, and publishing, as well as a lot of questions about which books he’s reading, which books he’s loved, and which books have shaped him as a writer. Not that I’m complaining—this is always what I want to know about my favorite writers too, and VanderMeer was very generous with his answers, on this and all other subjects. Highlights from VanderMee
