Lou Anders is the Editorial Director of Pyr Books, but he also edited the Masked anthology for the Gallery imprint of Simon and Schuster, which is our current book club selection. In this special episode we spoke to Lou about his love of comics, how he got involved in publishing and how the Masked anthology came together. The deadline for Masked is the middle of January so there is still plenty of time to pick up a copy and then send us your feedback and thoughts.

In this episode of the book club Steve and Scott tackle the classic 'I Am Legend' by Richard Matheson.  First published in 1954 and directly influencing four movies (The Last Man on Earth, The Omega Man, I Am Legend and I Am Omega).  A post-apocalyptic tale of loneliness, vampires and a famous ending that none of the spin-offs managed.  Join us as we dissect this great novel.

The next book club selection will be 'Masked' a collection of superhero related short stories edited by Lou Anders and featuring contributions from: Stephen Baxter, Paul Cornell, Peter David, Daryl Gregory, Marjorie Liu, Ian McDonald, Kim Newman, Chris Roberson, Bill Willingham, Gail Simone...and others!
