Frederik Pohl has been writing science fiction for longer than most of us have been alive; he's published over a hundred books and many more short stories, and edited magazines like Galaxy, If, and Worlds of Tomorrow - winning three Hugos and multiple Nebulas in the process. In this interview, he talks about China, science fiction fans, bad movies, and his new short story collection.
In the world of vampires, things are solved with blood - and very, very careful planning over long and violent years. But times are changing, and the young werewolves, poor and lower-class, are making themselves noticed. The old mobster and vampire Faolan sees an opportunity there - but so do others. Broken dreams, broken bones, and broken promises: with vampires who came of age in the gangster days of New York and werewolves from the modern-day west, a bloody end is the only way.
