A new chapter of mine has just been published in this new book edited by Nick Diak. My chapter focuses on the differences between the original Norse Eddas and their recent adaptations.

A big thanks to the SFRA for putting my thoughts in issue 316 of the review.
Apocalypse, destiny, monsters, and other such ponderings in digital media.
Validating far too much time spent with Fallout 4 and Titan Souls.
