We broke another traffic record in January. Don’t you people have better things to do? Seriously, we’re glad you’re here, but you’re starting to look a bit pale. Think about taking your laptop out to the patio maybe, get some sun.

January was a busy time for us. Emily Mah trumpeted an ultimately successful Kickstarter campaign for the Chizine horror anthology Fearful Symmetries, Scott Taylor talked about selling sex, we took a peek at the paperback release of Throne of the Crescent Moon, Emily Mah (again!) interviewed Ian Tregillis, and Ryan Harvey cracked the binding on Edgar Rice Burroughs The Mucker.

And that’s just the Top Five. What follows is the complete list of the Top 50 posts at the Black Gate blog in January. Enjoy — and remember to bundle up, if you’re enjoying them from the patio.
