We're taking this edition off as we re-organize ourself into two separate blogs. Yes. blogs. Fully searchable, fully commentable. And updated daily if not more often as need be. What's not to like? Green Man Review and Sleeping Hedgehog will be be sister endeavours with decidedly different material covered in them. So what is this all about? First let us tell you where the Sleeping Hedgehog name came from. Read that story here. Sleeping Hedgehog will be covering myriad aspects of popular culture not covered by this endeavour will now focus on music (Celtic, English trad, American roots, and singer-songwriter will be stressed now) and fantastical fiction of all genres including science fiction, fantasy, and horror whereas Sleeping Hedgehog will cover non-fiction works ranging from the finest culinary adventures to the latest history books, mysteries and detective fiction; comics, both Western and Asian; anime, animated films, and foreign films in general; popular music including Jazz, Blues, and Rock ‘n’ Roll; and music from around the globe as well as classical and contemporary ‘serious’ music. (Think Philip Glass, Terry Riley, Penguin Cafe Orchestra, and the Kronos Quartet as to what the latter is.) Non-fiction will now be only covered on Sleeping Hedgehog with fiction reviews (which is what folks look for) primarily remaining on Green Man Review. Anglo-Celtic music, all American folk including alt- trad and related genres, and singer-songwriter stuff which is what readers actually look at on Green Man Review will stay there exclusively You can also expect reviews of food and drink ranging from the finest ales to the darkest of chocolates, cool toys such as the wonderful Folkmanis puppets, tarot decks, games, electronics, theatre, art exhibits, and only the Queen of Air and Darkness knows what else as whatever else tickles our fancy will get reviewed here. We’re even open to suggestions as to what we should review so send us your ideas please. (Better yet, join us as a reviewer. If you have a passion about things you like, can write well, and like having lots of folks know your views, do apply.) We will also publish from time to time (by invitation only as no one here wants to read through a very large slush pile of unsolicited submissions!) short fiction, graphic fiction, and even possibly some poetry, along with our commentaries on the state of the arts, notices of upcoming events, passings, and activities of interest. (Send your press releases, event notices, news about your Great Must-Be-Reviewed Novel, and so forth. If the material you send us tickles our fancy, we'll post it here in some form. Or not.) We welcome feedback, so do feel free to comment on our reviews and commentaries but we expect everyone to play nice as we’re all civilized here. Well, we hope we are! Our first official day will be around the Fall Equinox for Sleeping Hedgehog with the new Green Man Review following in a few months! |
