BSC Beat Interview – Talking Hellboy with Mark Chadbourn
The return of the BSC Beat, our 10-question, topic specific, interview format, and today we are talking Hellboy with Mark Chadbourn. Not Mignola? Nah, we are talking to Chadbourn because he has a Hellboy novel, The Ice Wolves, on tap. Chadbourn is an award winning Fantasy author of such novels as can be found in The Kingdom of the Serpent series- Jack of Ravens, The Burning Man and Destroyer of Worlds – as well as the “mytho-fantasy” trilogies The Age of Misrule and The Dark Age. Below find out where Chadbourn thinks Hellboy’s mythic lineage stems from & who he’s like to see write a Hellboy novel!

The BSC Beat Interview – Deep Cover with Mike Costa and G.I. Joe: Cobra
Back with another edition of the BSC Beat, our 10 question, topic specific, interview format! Today we have one half of the writing team of one of the three new G.I. Joe titles being published by IDW. Mike Costa is teaming up with Christos Gage and artist Antonio Fuso to bring us G.I. Joe: Cobra, a 4-issue spotlight on Chuckles going deep cover and infiltrating Cobra. The story was previewed (along with shorts on the other two titles) in IDW’s Zero issue (see my review). You can also check out the longer On The Spot interview I conducted with the writer of the main title, Chuck Dixon, for more info!
And yes I know that there is one extra question, but our silly ideas and goals of even, numerical, limits cannot contain G.I. Joe! I’d like to welcome Mr. Costa as we talk Joe, what Donnie Brasco has in common with You Got Served, and getting the license to kill from Hasbro.
The BSC Beat – Telling Fables with Chris Roberson
Sometimes we rhyme slow, sometimes we rhyme quick, but the BSC stays on beat with another edition of our 10-question, topic specific, interview format, The BookSpot Beat.

Nylund is a NY Times Bestselling novelist, and [...]
The BSC Beat – The Horror of Star Wars interview with Joe Schreiber
We noted a forthcoming Star Wars novel called Deathtroopers not too long ago (though perhaps in a galaxy far, far, away) that I thought was rather unique as it’s a reported ‘horror’ effort in the EU. The writer is novelist Joe Schreiber, and we bring him back to the BSC to participate at the BookSpot Beat to chat about Horror in Star Wars . . .
The BSC Beat – Hell Cant with Hal Duncan
Back with another edition of the BookSpot Beat, the BookSpot Central 10-question, topic specific interview! Today we join forces with Hal Duncan to give you Hell!

The BSC Beat – E.E. Knight Talks Dragons
E.E. Knight joins us for The Bookspot Beat. While he is probably more famous for his Vampire Earth series, he also has The Age of Fire series, which is all about dragons. They have been some of my favorite books in recent years, and so I decided to ask E.E. Knight to talk to us [...]

The BSC Beat – Paul S. Kemp talks Star Wars
Last week I talked with Jeff VanderMeer kicking off a new feature here at BookSpot Central called the BookSpot Beat. In short it’s an interview limited to ten questions that focuses on one specific topic. It’s a feature meant to give me little more room to tackle and ask questions about news that pops up [...]
The BSC Beat – Jeff VanderMeer talks Predator
This introduces a new type of feature at BookSpot Central today! We have always conducted interviews (our ‘On the Spot’ interviews) that tend to be – or have become – lengthy and comprehensive features. Now we love doing these and will continue to do them, but I felt like they had become something that limited [...]
