The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

It's been a long while since I wrote a book review - the last one was Anansi Boys, back in the far off days of August - but procrastination can't hold anybody forever, so very recently I got round to writing a review for the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. It's one of the most famous novels in all of science fiction, and I finally picked up a copy about two weeks ago on a trip to Liverpool.

But as you may have already noticed, this blog post is far too short to contain a proper book review. But don't panic! The review hasn't been washed away by the tides of the superinformation highway or anything ridiculous like that; it's just been published somewhere else.

The Cult Den, an up and coming website devoted to cult TV, literature, comics, films and pretty much everything else, recently asked for submissions from freelance writers, to write articles for the site. Since science fiction and fantasy novels - the types of book I usually like to read and review - fall under the heading of 'cult', I decided to submit a book review to the website. They were happy to publish the article, which I'm absolutely ecstatic about, as I'm pretty sure this is my first piece published by someone else.

The Cult Den is still in it's early stages, and is currently being hosted on Weebly; in many ways, it's similar to Re-Incarnated, in that they have the ambition to become the best of the best, but are still finding their feet. Even though the site is fairly new, though, they have a great selection of articles written by all manner of people on all manner of subjects, and there's plenty for everybody, no matter what your tastes. If you want to follow them on twitter @TheCultDen, I'm sure they would be very grateful.

And now, the moment you've all been waiting for; you can reading my review of the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by clicking here. I'll probably submit another article to the Cult Den at some point in the future, but don't worry - the majority of the things I write will still be coming on this blog, when I get around to writing them. But on this occasion, this post is really just here to say 'Look, I did a thing, and they put it on their website! Look at it, look!' Thanks for reading, and please do check out the Cult Den and my article.
