Richard Kadrey and John Shirley at SF in SF this Saturday

The next SF in SF reading series on July 7 is a punk-rock extravaganza: John Shirley and Richard Kadrey, the guys who put the "punk" in cyberpunk, reading together. Kadrey, of course, has reinvented himself as a totally hard-boiled, awesome horror writer with his triumphant Sandman Slim series (I've just read a proof of the next one, and it's killer). Shirley's short story collection was one of the most excitingly mutated books of 2011.

July Reading – John Shirley & Richard Kadrey (Thanks, Rina!)

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.

Above this post is an ad that says “comprehensive STD tests $90.” But when you click on the ad and go to the site, the comprehensive tests are $240,and all you get for $90 is a single, non-comprehensive test. These ads have shown up on all the blogs this week. I consider it false advertising. If boingboing is in charge of its own ads, I’d appreciate this being looked into. – arbitrary aardvark

Oh Man, I loved the last SandMan Slim novel. Cannot wait for this one !

side note:(When I worked at a dvd wholesaler in Waterloo, Richard Kadrey ordered some cool discs years ago) Man’s got great taste in cinema !

Good to hear that Sandman Slim is continuing. I was both looking forward to Aloha From Hell coming out in paperback and dreading it being the last in the series. Now that I’m getting an e-reader sized tablet, I may get it on Kindle instead.
