Saturday Plugs

I'm off to the Manila Book Fair in a few hours, keeping an eye out on the cosplay competition but in the meantime, here are some plugs:

• In case you missed my plug the other day, Craig Gidney doesn't have health insurance and you can help him by buying copies of his book at Lethe Press's pre-publication sale. Direct PayPal button here.
  
• Ellen Datlow posts excerpts of her summary of the 1987 horror scene.
• Vera Nazarian's The Top 12 Most Useful Individuals in Genre Publishing. It's a good list although I have a quibble. Her last personality, somebody named Charles A. Tan, doesn't deserve to be on that list!
• Lone Star Stories is still looking for a poem for its October 2008 issue.
• Cat Rambo is a double threat as she interviews Tobias Buckell and blogs about Superheroes in the Nebula Awards Blog.
• Small Beer Press will be selling its books for $10.00 this Sunday at the Brooklyn Book Fair this Sunday. (Pssst, grab a copy of Geoff Ryman's The King's Last Song.)
• Matt Staggs has some Spore images of creatures from popular SF titles. Rise Cthulhu, rise!
• John Grant's The Dragons of Manhattan is now available online! Or via his website, which is cheaper.
• Help with sock donations.
• Via Mary Robinette Kowal, check out Mike Brotherton's Ten Issues for Hard Science Fiction.
• Have you ever heard of the Primitive Boggart?
