Descriptive Bit

Al Robertson rambles about fiction, writing, and life in general, while trying to tie each post into a vague weird fiction theme.
In print

Ramblings as part of 2003's New Weird thread on the TTApress messageboards - reprinted in the Vandermeers' New Weird anthology, which includes both great fiction and fascinating critical commentary.

An article on Fantasy, Science Fiction, the characteristics of each and the relationship between them in March's issue of Stephen Hunt's SF Crowsnest, along with fiction, articles and interviews from Ken Macleod, Hal Duncan, Joe Abercrombie, Jeffrey Ford and others.

A short story, 'Ghosts', about the problems of exploring an abandoned, haunted space station on your own, is out in the latest edition of Midnight Street - along with great stories by Joel Lane, Stephen Gallagher and others, a fascinating Neil Gaiman interview, and other cool stuff.
