Back in 2017 I announced that I’d started work on a book called Monster Hunters, Dinosaur Lovers: Speculative Fiction in the Culture Wars, the topic being the fiction caught up in the Sad/Rabid Puppies controversies of 2013-6. This project turned out to be a lot more time-consuming than I first imagined: I’ve been working on it off-and-on for four years now, and it’s still a long way from completion.
Even so, I think it’s high past time that I put effort into getting the book off my hard drive and out into the public. So, beginning next month, I’m going to make individual chapters available to my Patreon subscribers; my current aim is to have one chapter per month uploaded over the rest of the year. If that interests you, then sign up for my Patreon and bag your subscription to Monster Hunters, Dinosaur Lovers!
Oh, cool! Looking forward to it. It’ll be nice to compare your take on it to Camestros’.

The main difference is that, unlike his, mine will focus mainly on the stories themselves. The first chapter I intend to post is devoted to the backlash against one story in particular…
