This just in!
Jesse just informed me that the Caedmon version of “Green Hills of Earth” is included in this collection, which is unfortunately also out of print. The pic on the right is the original Caedmon LP cover of “Green Hills”. I have no clue how he found that, but the man has his sources…
He also let me know that “Green Hills of Earth” was done by Waldentapes, a label that is generally excellent. Pic at left there… And speaking of Waldentapes, I have Childhood’s End and To Your Scattered Bodies Go from them. Childhood’s End is wonderful, and I just recently acquired To Your Scattered Bodies Go from an eBay auction – haven’t listened yet.
Thanks Jesse!

In the news… Neil Gaiman continues to collect well-deserved awards. A couple of weeks ago, he accepted the Nebula Award (Best Novel) for his American Gods. He’s on the list of Hugo nominees (Best Novella) for Coraline. The audio version of Coraline (read by the author) has just been given a Parent’s Choice Silver Award – see details here. His fiction is fabulous, folks. Drop what you’re doing and go read or listen to some.

The Science Fiction Writers Association (SFWA) gave their Nebula Awards this weekend, and the Best Novel winner was American Gods by Neil Gaiman. HarperCollins produced an excellent unabridged audio version of the novel, read by one of the best – George Guidall. It’s also available for rental at Recorded Books.
Ursula K. LeGuin won a Grand Master Award at the same ceremony. Fantastic Audio has published several unabridged Le Guin titles, including The Birthday of the World and Other Stories and most of the incomparable Earthsea series.
Locus Magazine Online has a list of all the Nebula winners along with some pictures.
