I listened to the audiobook edition of Under the Stairs, and I have to say that these stories feel even more unsettling in audio than they might on the page.
Sebastian Wilson is an aspiring actor whose latest “role” leads him into the lives of a wonderfully eclectic group of people. What I found especially interesting is that the male lead is a catalyst rather than the center of everyone else’s story. Without even realizing it, Wilson becomes exactly what several people need at pivotal moments in their lives, even as he struggles to accept himself for who he really is.
Science fiction is often at its most satisfying when it combines imaginative ideas with believable human stakes, and Andrea Goyan’s The Catalyst does exactly that. The novel balances scientific intrigue with questions about responsibility, identity, and the unintended consequences of discovery, creating a story that’s as engaging intellectually as it is entertaining.

Click the picture to enlarge, it will redirect to flickr. Sorry about that.
This is the interior of the command module from Apollo 7. You may remember that it never went to the moon, and was, in fact, launched without a LEM, but it was the first manned Apollo mission to clear the tower, after the fire that killed the crew of Apollo 1.
I’m glad I was able to view it larger in Flickr, it gave me a different perspective. Cool picture. Happy WW!
neat!!
wow, very cool!
I’ve GOT to get my sorry rear to an aviation museum where I can witness history like this up close and personally. I keep meaning to schedule a weekend in Dayton, Ohio to see the USAF Museum. Maybe this’ll get me to finally make it happen.
I love the poignancy of this image. One can only imagine what it must have felt like to launch inside an extensively redesigned vehicle after the Apollo 1 accident.
Guts personified.
I’d have expected something more high-tech looking like you see in a movie. Those look like tanning beds or something along those lines…
Cool picture! I wouldn’t want to be in there though!
