Links: The storm over The Storm in the Barn

January 14, 2010 by Brigid Alverson   2 comments

Is The Storm in the Barn, recent winner of the Scott O’Dell award, really historical fiction? Monica Edinger says yes, J.L. Bell says no, and he has further commentary here and here.

Comic Book Resources has a nice 18-page preview of Lola: A Ghost Story, which Snow reviewed here last week. Also up at CBR: A preview of Sky Pirates of Neo Terra, accompanied by an interview with Sean Megaw, the creator of the game on which the comic is based.
