Sam J. Miller is the Nebula-Award-winning author of The Art of Starving (an NPR best of the year) and Blackfish City (a “Must Read” in Entertainment Weekly and O: The Oprah Winfrey Magazine). A recipient of the Shirley Jackson Award and a graduate of the Clarion Writers’ Workshop right here in San Diego, Sam has been nominated for the World Fantasy, Theodore Sturgeon, John W. Campbell, and Locus Awards. He is a community activist, he lives in New York City and more than once couldn't be on a podcast panel I was recording because he had a protest on his schedule. In this episode, we talk about his new release, the small-town horror novel 'The Blade Between' which balances issues of class warfare, LBGTQ issues with whale ghosts, and the hidden legacy of the small town the lead character escaped. We talk at length about the creation of this novel, small-towns with a secret, and the on-going conversation in genre fiction.

This week our guest is Sam J. Miller, author of The Blade Between - a novel for anyone who loves or loathes their hometown. It’s a story of small-town ghosts, hidden hatreds and sudden violence. And behind it all looms the issue of gentrification, in all its ugliness and beauty. Listening to Sam talk, you may think differently about that cute little bistro that’s opened down the street. Y’know, the one that took over from that local place that had been there for years . . . Sam’s previous works include The Art of Starving (2017) and Blackfish City (2018), both novels that take no truck with easy ideas of genre. They, like The Blade Itself are freewheeling stories, and as you’ll here, Sam is more than willing go down some weird alleyways and to spill his own blood on the page.He’s also got a lot of things to say about queer identity in horror, about how no-one ever thinks they are the villain in the story, and the worry of how people in your hometown may feel when you savage it in your story. The Blade Between was published December 1st 2020, by Ecco Books.Books we mentioned include:The Art of Starving (2017), by Sam J. MillerNeedful Things (1991), by Stephen KingDrawing Blood (2010), by Poppy Z. BriteThe Cabin at the End of the World (2018), by Paul TremblayPlain Bad Heroines (2020), by Emily DanforthA Spectral Hue (2019), by Craig Lawrence GibneyNever Have I Ever (2021), by Isobel YapHomesick (2019) and Finna (2020), by Nino CipriCome talk books with us on Twitter @talkscaredpod, on Instagram, or email direct to talkingscaredpod@gmail.com.Thanks to Terry Smith Audio for sound editing and Adrian Flounders for graphic design.

Sam J. Miller has imagined a sci-fi, short fashion story set in a future Milan, where clothes have neural connections that transform people and make them fight for freedom. Born in the United States in 1979, and currently based in New York, Sam J. Miller is a science fiction, fantasy and horror author and works as a community organizer. A multiple finalist of the prestigious Nebula Award, he is the author of “Blackfish City”, a novel published in Italy by Zona 42 in 2019 (“La città dell’orca” ). Listen to Miller as he reads the short story “Il Vestito e la Rivoluzione”, originally featured in the April issue of Vogue Italia. Text and voice Sam J. Miller, curated by Elisa Pervinca Bellini.

Rezensionen zu "Die Verräterin - Das Imperium der Masken" von Seth Dickinson, "Blackfish City" von Sam J. Miller und "The City in the Middle of the Night" von Charlie Jane Anders

In this episode I talk about why you might want to pursue a traditional publishing deal, starting with short stories in magazines, (and SF has many opportunities to get published in magazines) or develop a following as an indie publisher. I think the main takeaway is that you don't have to choose one or the other. You're going to write more than one book in your career, and each new project is a new decision on the best path forward. I'm doing my best to understand how these markets are different, how readers consume them, and what the future might hold. Also, what does all this mean for the "field" of science fiction when established taste-makers don't seem to acknowledge that the indie market exists and is rapidly outpacing the traditional market? Mentioned in this episode: Blackfish City by Sam Miller AI Superpowers by Kai-Fu Lee Thanks for listening!

In this episode, we discuss "The Cold Equations" by Tom Godwin with our guest BJ Mendelson an author, comic book writer, and speaker. We talk about big data, the trolley problem, and the future of privacy.   Books reviewed: Blackfish City by Sam J Miller. The Strange Case of Doctor Jekyll and Mr. Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenson   You can find everything here: "The Cold Equations" - http://www.lightspeedmagazine.com/fiction/the-cold-equations/ BJ Mendelson - https://bjmendelson.com/  

After another long hiatus, Jonathan and Gary return with a ramble saying farewell to 2018 (actually recorded when it was still 2018 in Chicago and already 2019 in Perth). This time we look back on some of our favourite novels, novellas, collections, anthologies, and nonfiction from the past year, agreeing enthusiastically about Sam J. Miller's Blackfish City, Kelly Robson's Gods, Monsters, and the Lucky Peach, Gardner Dozois's The Book of Magic, Alec Nevala-Lee's Astounding: John W. Campbell, Isaac Asimov, Robert A. Heinlein, L. Ron Hubbard, and the Golden Age of Science Fiction (diverting into a side discussion of whether “golden ages” actually mean anything), and several other books and stories which one or both of us liked. We also name Blackfish City as our official Coode Street Book of Year! Did we draw any insightful conclusions about the overall health of the field last year, or what the field seems to be becoming? Of course not, but we have our opinions, and we had some fun. And who knows? We should be back sooner than you'd think.

Sam J. Miller loves cities. He lives in one, has a day job dedicated to making urban life more humane and fair, and has set his new novel, Blackfish City (Ecco, 2018), in a teeming metropolis full of people who are grateful to be there. The fictional metropolis is Qaanaak, which floats in arctic waters like a massive 8-armed asterisk and serves as a refuge for those fleeing climate change, resource scarcity and war. Like Miller’s hometown of New York City, the book is packed with diverse characters, including Fill, a privileged gay man suffering from a new horrifying disease; Kaev, a fighter who’s paid to lose fights; Ankit, chief of staff to a hack politician; and Soq, a gender-fluid messenger with ambitions of becoming a crime boss like the one he works for. They are strangers to each other until a mysterious woman, on a mission of rescue and revenge, rides into town on the back of a killer whale. This woman–an “orcamancer”–brings them close, revealing secret ties that had bound them together all along. Miller uses his fiction to imagine solutions to problems he grapples with in his job as a community organizer and advocate for the homeless. “I wanted to imagine a city where many of the sort of problematic things that have been the prime directives of urban policy over the last 30 years in cities like New York were no longer true. Maybe you don’t need a racist police force in order to have a functional city; maybe you don’t need to make homeless people’s lives miserable as your prime mandate for how architecture and public space happen.” Miller calls Blackfish City “a hopeful dystopia.” “Yes, many of the things we love will be destroyed; yes, maybe there will be unspeakable horror in our future as a result of climate change or social injustice, but that doesn’t mean humanity is going to cease…. I wanted to imagine a dramatically transformed world that is still recognizably human and where things like love, and family and community and noodles can save us.” Rob Wolf is the host of New Books in Science Fiction and the author of The Alternate Universe.

This week, the always bustling Coode Street Motel battles technical difficulties, sound dropouts, and other gremlins of the Skypesphere to welcome Sam J. Miller, whose Blackfish City is just out, and whose young adult novel The Art of Starving received great notices last year. We discuss balancing his day job as a community organizer with his fiction, the genesis of his new novel in a couple of earlier short stories, the writers who made him want to become one, the arbitrary nature of classifying stories as SF, horror, fantasy, YA, etc., and even the choice of pronouns in describing particular characters. As always, our thanks to Sam and we hope you enjoy the episode.
