James Marsters Reads The Dresden Files

Another Post From the Assistant's Desk:

Hey, BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER fans! In case you haven't heard, James Marsters is the voice of THE DRESDEN FILES by Jim Butcher. Not only is The Dresden Files a great series to read, but now it's a great series to listen to as well - especially if you need a Buffyesque fix! It's a match made in audio fiction heaven.

Not only is James a fabulous actor, truly talented on both stage and screen, but in voice as well. I can't think of a single pers...

SyFy is Remaking the BBC's Being Human

From the Assistant's Desk:

One of the BBC's best new shows is Being Human. It's a fantastic take on the supernatural in which a vampire, a werewolf and a ghost develop a fairly unique friendship that reminds them of what it means to be human. Thus, the title!

The writing and the acting are superb, and the season 2 finale is wrenching. I have been left sitting on the edge...
