Wildcard: Day 5

–Check out the monster cakes (artist Scott Hove)!

–From io9: Giant Jellyfish taking over the seas?

–From the archive of the interwebs! Two interviews with Creatures contributor, China Mieville.

From (another Creatures contributor) Jeff VanderMeer‘s interview of China:

“Our monsters are about themselves, and they can get on with being about all sorts of other stuff too, but if we want them to be primarily that, and don’t enjoy their monstrousness, they’re dead and nothing.”

From China’s interview in The Believer:

“When I write my novels, I’m not writing them to make political points. I’m writing them because I passionately love monsters.”
