REVIEWS BY SULLYDOG |
Once upon a time, I wrote reviews for NeverWorlds. This was a ground-breaking science fiction webzine founded by Kevin McPherson and published by myself. It went belly-up in 2002 because I no longer had the time to run it. Years pass. Then my good buddy Steve Eley begins another pioneering publication, Escape Pod, the first science fiction podcast magazine. Before you know it, he snookers me into being the Reviews Editor. So...I write reviews. I don't claim to be particularly good at it. But here they are.
