I found this essay to be one of the most exciting pieces written on the subject of genre, and I don't just say that because I am one of Henry's former media studies grad students. I can't recall the last time an introductory essay got me so revved to read the rest of the book. Seriously, I think this is an essay that everyone who reads genre fiction should read, and now you can.

Okay, I was planning on getting this anyway because Cecil Castellucci has a story in it, and I pretty much read everything she writes, but then yesterday I got to talk with LJ user Shadesong at the final showing of the Code Monkey musical, and found out she has a story in it, too. Today I find that it is not only available in an accessible ebook format but Henry Jenkins wrote the introduction, so it's a done deal.
It's edited by Delia Sherman & Christopher Barzak and you can purchase it on Fictionwise for the low price of $9

Also, for those who were at the infamous JoCo concert, Fictionwise seems to have a new ebook titled _That's What She Said: Women Reveal What Men Really Need to Know_...it's like some sort of conspiracy.
