Welcome to the Otherlander’s Blog, the
place that will satisfy your science fiction, fantasy and horror cravings!
In the last few years the Otherland Bookshop in Berlin,
Germany has attracted quite an international crowd ... it’s time to take that
into account and that’s basically what we’re doing with this blog. It is not the
official website of the Otherland Bookshop (that you can find
here), which is
in German, but a place for us to stay connected to our English speaking
community on the web.
We also want this project to be about much more than
books. We want this to be about the whole genre and everything that goes with
it: books, movies, comics, cartoons, mangas, even music.
Working in a science fiction, fantasy & horror
bookstore, we realize how much people love SFF&H and more importantly that more and more people want to talk about what they’ve read/watched. We know how
you feel, and we’re trying to make this happen by creating opportunities, in
real life or online, where we can meet and get that load off your chest. You’ve
seen a movie and you’re really impressed and want to shout it out? Just go
ahead and be our guest, write something about it, send it to us. You’ve
liked/hated an article you’ve read here? Leave a comment. You can’t stop
watching that new show? Hell yes, tell us about it!
In order to keep you updated about the events in the shop,
there will be some regular columns, mainly about the Otherland Speculative
Fiction Book Club (which meets every second Friday of the month) and readings
with international authors. Apart from the best reviews of old SFF classics
that have already been published in our monthly newsletter (you can subscribe
here) you can also discover new titles that impressed us.
We hope you will enjoy our blog as much as we surely will.
We have a feeling this will be awesome!
