I can't believe I wrote a 1200 review of #Pragmata and only after it was up for hours did I realize I could've made a joke about it being "Dad Space."

One of the big issues being a poetry reader is that some cool books go out of print. But sometimes they come back. In this exclusive interview with iconic poet Rachel Camacho, she discusses the new version of her 2009 book "Pink Elephant."

While it can be rather strange, the weirdest thing about the sci-fi third-person shooter #Pragmata is how its unique mechanics make for an effortlessly fun shooter. Here's the link to my review.

Not as #Murderbot-y as I expected, but then that wouldn't have worked for this engaging pre-"Empire" story. Now for the companion novel.

Well, this was one dark (but also gripping) story of war and blind hatred and sticking to your principals when it would be easier not to.

Life isn't always safe if you're a queer teenager. It's this lack of safety that author Sadie McCarney explores in her book-length epic #poem "The Bright Afters," which tells the story of a murdered queer boy. To learn more, check out this exclusive interview.

It's okay to like things. It's also okay to not like them. But some people can't handle it when people hate things they like, or like things they hate. Which is what Michael, Raymond, and I discuss in the new episode of "RPad TV."

While the phrase "suburban horror story" conjures images of an overly punitive HOA, in this Q&A with C.J. Dotson about her dual-timeline haunted house / suburban horror novel "These Familiar Walls," she says it's not about a home owner failing to cut their lawn.
