Dear readers, on January 23rd we became 1.) Reactor and 2.) A new website, and in that time, we’ve been working on fixes, features, and the kinds of unexpected heckstorms that tend to occur to newly launched websites (especially ones with 15+ years’ worth of articles and fiction). We want to keep you updated on the progress we’ve made on fixes so far. We’ve been monitoring the bug reports you’ve been sending in via our contact form, as well as comments you’ve left on articles here.

Star Trek: Enterprise Fourth SeasonOriginal air dates: October 2004 – May 2005Executive Producers: Rick Berman, Brannon Braga, Manny CotoCaptain’s log. Having saved Earth and stopped the Sphere-Builders from taking over the galaxy, Enterprise is diverted to 1944 Earth to do one last Temporal Cold War favor for Daniels, which apparently ends the entire thing, to the relief of both the crew and the viewership.

It’s possible that you might only know Christopher Priest as the author of The Prestige, which Christopher Nolan adapted into a very appealing movie in 2006. It is the reason so many Priest obits are headed with images that include David Bowie playing Nikola Tesla. But there was much more to the British author than that. Born in Cheshire, England, in 1943, Priest became a full-time writer in 1968, and was the author of more than 20 novels and dozens of short stories.

We’re thrilled to share an excerpt along with several illustrations from GennaRose Nethercott’s Fifty Beasts to Break Your Heart, a collection of dark fairytales and fractured folklore exploring how our passions can save us or go monstrously wrong—out from Vintage on February 6. The stories in Fifty Beasts to Break Your Heart are about the abomination that resides within us all. That churning, clawing, ravenous yearning: the hunger to be held, and seen, and known.

Mads Mikkelsen is once again out here giving hope to the fannibals. Speaking to Business Insider about his body of villainous work, from Le Chiffre to Voller and beyond, the actor said exactly what we want to hear:“It’s no secret that all of us who were part of the cast and Bryan, we all want to go back. It’s got to happen eventually sooner than later because we’re not getting any younger, right? But the story itself can jump, it can have that gap, which is fine.

The parents are coming. In 2022, it was announced that an Outlander sequel focusing on the parents of Jamie Fraser was in the works. A year ago, the spinoff got a name: Outlander: Blood of My Blood. Now, the series is in production, and it turns out it’s not just about Jamie’s parents—but will tell the origin story of Claire’s parents as well. Which means, of course, that the story—appropriately—takes place in more than one time.

When you think about sci-fi and fantasy book-to-movie or television adaptations that you can watch right now, what books come to mind? Chances are extremely high that you’re not thinking about a book written by a Black author. It bears shouting from the rooftop that Hollywood has a race problem. This problem becomes evident when you examine the types of stories tinseltown chooses to adapt and tell to the world… and the stories it leaves on the cutting room floor.

Dash Shaw’s animated fantasy film (no relation to the NFT game that turns up persistently in web searches on the title) is an interesting experience. It’s quite trippy, which is both appropriate and intentional—it’s set in the Sixties, and the zoo is located near San Francisco. Its themes are relevant to the world of 2024: the ethics of zoos, the amorality of late-stage capitalism, the fraught relationship between humans and the natural world.

January started at home in Montreal, having a lovely time with friends visiting for New Year. Then there was a bury week in Chicago, and I flew from there to Florence on the tenth. So a truly excellent start to 2024, really.
