This assortment of interviews and chats is culled from some of the newer episodes of the world’s longest-running radio program on speculative fiction, Hour of the Wolf, produced and hosted by Jim Freund since 1974. Several recordings were made at conventions, the Nebula Awards, some with the audience, plus some in studios. Collectively, these interviews make up a road tour of some of today’s greatest voices in speculative fiction.

The list of interviewees in order of appearance is: about Chatting Science Fiction: Selected Interviews from Hour of the Wolf Ursula K. Le Guin, Kim Stanley Robinson, Samuel R. Delany, Cory Doctorow, Ray Bradbury, Nalo Hopkinson, Peter S. Beagle, China Mieville, Orson Scott Cards, Lucius Shepard, Nancy Kress, Ken Liu, Charlie Jane Anders, Genevieve Valentine, Susanna Clarke, and Connie Willis.”Natashia Deon’s superlative, gorgeously written debut grips you from the throat, exploring a teeming, post-Civil Battle world where the emancipation of slaves can be not freedom, violence is as casual like a coughing, and love between a mom and a girl can transcend also death. Scorchingly excellent, this is one novel that already feels like a classic.”-Caroline Leavitt, NY Instances bestselling author
