The Prehistoric Pulp blog focuses on dinosaurs and other prehistoric critters in novels, comics, and the occasional game and television show. There have been a couple of recent posts of particular interest to paleo-SF fans:
- A list of free paleo-stories on the web, with links to tales by a wide range of 20th and 21st century authors, including: Arthur Conan Doyle, Robert J. Sawyer, Clark Ashton Smith, Howard Waldrop, and many others. (via SF Signal)
- There is also an interesting post about novels featuring extinct animals. Some let you see prehistoric times through the animals' eyes (e.g., Evolution by Stephen Baxter), others resurrect the animals in the present (e.g., Henry Adam Knight's Carnosaur or cast dinosaurs as aliens (e.g., Catherine Wells' Beyond the Gates), or present alternate timelines where the dinosaurs never went extinct (e.g. Harry Harrison's West of Eden (Eden Trilogy)). Read the full post for a number of examples in all of these categories - and more! (via Robert J. Sawyer)
