It's time for the better-late-than-never August Podcast. And this month, it's a
Rob Shearman Special.Rob is the acclaimed writer of many Big Finish Doctor Who releases, such as
The Holy Terror,
Chimes of Midnight and
Deadline (starring Sir Derek Jacobi). He also wrote the TV series episode
Dalek.
Now, Big Finish are proud to announce that November 2009 will see the publication of Rob's second collection of short stories,
Love Songs for the Shy and Cynical. His first collection,
Tiny Deaths, won a World Fantasy Award.
Here's what new Doctor Who executive producer and head writer
Steven Moffat has to say of Rob's latest short story collection: 'Shearman offers us haunting, nightmare alternatives to our world that are still somehow utterly recognisable, thank to the way he always picks out the comically mundane among the impossible and the fantastical. He makes each story cling to you, forces you to make sense of it and somehow inhabit it.'
In this free podcast, Rob discusses his new book with old chum Nick Briggs. And they sometimes stick to the subject.
