Geek Media Round-Up: April 6, 2009

6 Apr 2009  Media

Comics

  • 28 DAYS LATER gets a Comic Book Series.

Film

  • AMC does a really good job counting down The Top Ten Evil Queens of Fantasy, even remembering the obscure but memorable Queen of Shadows.
  • Clerk Dogs is a really intuitive film recommendation engine based on real human input.

Literature

  • Free Fiction: Listen to the Hugo-nominated anthology Metatropolis at Audible.com.
  • Free Fiction: Read “Flight Through Tomorrow” by Stanton Arthur Coblentz at FeedBooks.
  • Free Fiction: Read the flash fiction story “And Baby Makes n+1″ by Sumit Dam over at Sumitsays.
  • Interview: The Dragon Page’s Cover to Cover talks with Jim Butcher about the next book in the Dresden Files, Turn Coat.
  • Futurismic ask “Does print-on-demand spell doom for the newsstand?” Personally, my guess is that newsstands will be replaced with brain chips that deliver news directly to your subconscious.
  • Over at O’Reilly, they’re discussing the Boycott of Kindle Titles Priced over $9.99. Also, check out the original Boycott thread over at Amazon.
  • Stephen King’s next book, Under the Dome, will run 1,120, and it took some twenty-five years to write. Is this going to be another The Stand.
