In complete agreement on the awesomeness of YA!
Corey is amazing. He's an amazing writer and he's a visionary thinker.
If he ever starts a cult, he can cound on me to occupy the first shack in the compound. Everything he's said about the direction of the industry rings true.
…And besides that, he's one of the most talented Speculative authors writing today. Craphound is one of my most favoritist short stories, EVAH!
