I have been told that People magazine  (and that's a magazine I never thought I'd mention here)has reviewed Joe Hill's Heart-Shaped Box in their current, February 26th, issue. The (short) review doesn't seem to be on-line, but it does call Hill's debut novel "a thriller with moments of terror and genuine humor," and also has the inevitable sidebar about Hill being Stephen King's son.

The Washington Post's "Science Fiction and Fantasy" column this weekend (by Gwenda Bond) covered Catherynne M. Valente's In the Night Garden, Peter Watt's Blindsight, Mary Rosenblum's Horizons, and Elizabeth Bear's Carnival.

The Daily News (a fine New York tabloid, no better than it should be) also reviews Joe Hill's Heart-Shaped Box, which is on a path to be reviewed by every publication that acknowledges that books exist, and even several that don't.

Newday (of sunny, bucolic Long Island, New York) reviews Philip K. Dick's psothumously-published mainstream novel Voices from the Street.

Gwen Ansell, in the UK's Guardian newspaper, writes a column confusingly titled ZA@Play, which seems to cover SF and Fantasy books. The current column reviews Russell Kirkpatrick's In the Earth Abides the Flame, Cecila Dart-Thornton's The Well of Tears, K.J. Parker's Evil for Evil, the massive George R.R. Martin short-story collection Dreamsongs (originally published by a small US press as GRRM: A RRetrospective, and coming back to the US as Dreamsongs, but split into two volumes), and Juliet E. McKenna's Eastern Tide.

Pat's Fantasy Hotlist really liked Dan Simmons's The Terror.

(Sci Fi Wire's feed says that they have an article on The Terror as well, but the link leads to a 404 page at the moment. It may appear later, I suppose.)
