Chicks Dig Gaming: A Celebration of All Things Gaming by the Women Who Love It by Catherynne Valente
In Chicks Dig Gaming, editors Jennifer Brozek (Apocalypse Ink Productions), Robert Smith? (Who is the Doctor?) and Lars Pearson (editor-in-chief, the Hugo Award-winning Chicks Dig series) bring together essays by nearly three dozen female writers to celebrate the gaming medium and its creators, and to examine the characters and series that they love. Catherynne M. Valente (The Girl Who Circumnavigated Fairyland, Indistinguishable from Magic) examines Super Mario Bros. through the lens of Samsara, the Wheel of Birth and Rebirth; Seanan McGuire (the October Daye series) details how gaming taught her math; G. Willow Wilson (Alif the Unseen) comes to terms with World of Warcraft; and Rosemary Jones (Forgotten Realms) celebrates world traveler Nellie Bly and the board game she inspired. Other contributors include Emily Care Boss (Gaming as Women), Jen J. Dixon (The Walking Eye), Racheline Maltese (The Book of Harry Potter Triffles), Mary Anne Mohanraj (Bodies in Motion), L.M. Myles (Chicks Unravel Time), Jody Lynn Nye (the MythAdventures series), and E. Lily Yu (The Cartographer Wasps and the Anarchist Bees).SEANAN McGUIRE is the author of the October Daye urban fantasy novels, as well as the InCryptid and Wayward Children series. She also goes by the name Mira Grant and writes darker literature. Seanan is a fire hazard who lives in Seattle with her cats, a large collection of frightening dolls, horror movies, and enough books to qualify her as such. She was the 2010 John W. Wooden Award recipient. She was the first individual to appear five times on the same Hugo ballot in 2013, winning the Campbell Award for Best New Writer.
