In Books and Booze episode 80 we interview Nick Mamatas. He schools us on the rise of anthologies and shares his favorite thing about being an editor. We talk about his novel, Love Is The Law, and some of the things that come with it: Alastair Crowley, demon pacts, smoking crack, the death of the "discovery moment" in music, and why he doesn't mind when people compare the protagonist of Love Is The Law to Lisbeth Salander of The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo.
