While working on the upcoming reboot of SHOWCASE I stumbled across this old web site, which I’d forgotten was still out there. We called this one the “crevasse” because it was cold, sterile, bluish-white, and stories fell into it, never to be seen again.
Nonetheless it is still out there, and is still readable, for now. It includes hot links to twenty stories you probably haven’t read before, a hot-linked index to all the stories that appeared in SHOWCASE issues #1 through #10, links to a bunch of movie reviews—I think our review of Pacific Rim is still my favorite—and a link to the 2014 Campbellian Anthology that thankfully returns an error 404, as it should, because that book is long since out-of-contract. I had forgotten what a horrible all-devouring time- and energy-sucking black hole those Campbellian anthologies were, or perhaps I’d suppressed the memory. There, that’s something to cheer me up today: we’re not doing those monstrosities anymore.
Speaking of cheering me up: I’m off with the grandkids for the rest of the day. Catch you tomorrow!
