Some of you may remember that I have been listening to Scott Sigler's free horror/sci-fi podcast serial novels for years. Many of you poo pooed his effort as misguided, some decrying it as destroying the industry. The guy could improve his writing, but the books are pretty good, especially compared to other serialized podcast fiction and considering that they are usually first drafts. In at least one case, he wrote it as he podcast it. His audience is well over 30,000, now, and he has secured several book deals as a result of his efforts.
Well, for all the naysayers, Mr. Sigler's "Contagious" made number 33 on the New York Times Best Seller List for Hardcover Fiction. I look forward to the discussion of this one, though the issue may have died. Here is the link to the NYT's list: <http://www.nytimes.com/2009/01/18/books/bestseller/besthardfiction.html?_r=3> And here's Scott's blog post about it - WARNING - ADULT LANGUAGE, some images with blood. It IS horror/sci-fi, after all. <http://www.scottsigler.com/node/2370> -- Dave Henn [email protected] --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "R-SPEC: The Rochester Speculative Literature Association" group.
