![]() ![]() While gathering dreams Toshi prevents one of the Gleamer's servants from sinking hooks into a baby's soul. It can also cut away a person's dreams to be stored in a box for the castellan. They're more than they seem, since they can 'lie' to the world around them, changing it in such ways to help Toshi. Uso-Tsuki, a pair of scissors chooses her. Her memories are being changed and she must be chosen by a tool. Toshi is being manipulated and tested by Kishimo, one of Aratsu's servants. It feels like this book can be enjoyed best if read in one sitting since the story arcs. No detail seems to be left behind as there are references to each in later pages. The links between the creatures of the other world are detailed here and the complexity is quite welcome. The twins are separated and forced to use their wits and skills to survive, one in a god's service, and the other allied with a ronin creature. ![]()

The subject is raised by various means, in dialogue, narrated backstory and the email correspondence between Alice and her friend Eileen, but emerges most resonantly in the ambition of the book as a whole. It’s at once another instalment in her serial portrait of the bookish, fidgety, sexually avid Irishwoman born circa 1990 and a reckoning of sorts with doubts about Rooney-mania – her own as well as those expressed in what the narrator, describing the reception handed out to the not un-Rooney-like heroine, a superstar novelist named Alice, calls the ‘negative pieces’ produced in reaction to ‘the fawning positivity of the initial coverage’. Sally Rooney’s new novel, her third in four years, is a passionate, earnest, vulnerable, often affecting and above all dysfunctional piece of work. ![]() ![]() The subject of chemical signaling, only one aspect of which is pheromone, is very wide-ranging. ![]() Our knowledge in this context was enriched by experiences during several periods of fieldwork in different ecological terrain, in India and Africa, in most of the cases by one of us (RLB). We have attempted to take into account implications of evolution, ethology, ethochemistry, and ethogenomics while studying the strategies for documenting the different forms of chemical communication in the world of big cats, especially the tiger. It has been rather like chasing a crooked shadow through a maze, for the concept of pheromones in mammals was not well understood at that time and many misconceptions on the social life of the tiger, and particularly regarding the question of olfactory ability of the tiger, obscured the views of latter-day researchers. ![]() This chapter is based on a long-standing quest initiated by one of us (RLB) in 1964 when George Schaller undertook the first detailed scientific study of the tiger ( Schaller 1967). ![]() ![]() ![]() Two out of the three stories in Age of Godpunk were originally released as e-book novellas. I’ve always been a bit wary of simply sticking the suffix ‘punk’ after something in order to make it sound edgy and cool, but it worked for cyberpunk and steampunk, so why not godpunk? Desk editor David Moore coined the term godpunk more or less contemporaneously with Pornokitsch’s Jared Shurin, so they get joint credit. It was only after I’d written the first three of the Pantheon novels that the guys at Solaris and I started to wonder if we shouldn’t give the series a classification of its own. ![]() Both of those, I would submit, qualify as godpunk. ![]() Dan Simmons’s Ilium is one, Neil Gaiman’s American Gods another. There’ve been other books giving ancient gods a science fiction/ urban fantasy twist. How did you come to create Godpunk?Īs with most things in my life, I wasn’t aware I was doing it until after it was done.
