WHY SHOULD I CUT YOUR
THROAT? is an engaging, sometimes controversial look at the worlds
of Science Fiction, Fantasy, and Horror from a man with almost two
decades of experience as a reviewer, fiction writer, and editor. The
reviews, interviews, essays, and articles collected herein are
insightful and entertaining, sure to appeal to the casual reader and
the hardcore genre fan alike. Written from the perspective of a
writer, not an academic, the work is lively and engaging, full of
humor and sharp observations. New Journalism-style reports from
conventions and book tours provide an often hilarious insider’s view
of the genre.
