Night Calls
Recommended by
kevin
Bought the full book immediately after enjoying the sample from Book View Cafe!
This magical, period adventure moved along at a quick pace. Plenty of events, but not al all rushed. The language, descriptions and sense of location & time seem spot-on.
It's the first in a series too, so I'm excited to read more.
Books like this are why I love buying and reading indie ebooks!
Outermen
Recommended by
kevin
Amazingly-written, weird, claustrophobic, space, alternate Earth, horror story from a brilliant author who consistently nails it!
A tale of the Outside, what's beyond and, ultimately, fear of what may or may not be there. If there is something, stay hidden! If there isn't anything but a vast void, then stay home, be nice, don't explore, we're alone...
A story about our culture.

Eye-opening paper, written with clarity and insight.
The Queen of Ieflaria
Recommended by
sapphiction
I unintentionally binged this awesome fantasy. This book is was nearly impossible to put down, but I had to eat every now and then. Such a fun read!
I love the world-building, the dialogue, the characters, and pretty much everything about this book.
I can't wait for the sequel! I'm reading it next. Errr, I'll probably binge it too...

The Outskirter's Secret
Recommended by
kevin
The amazing second book in what is, so far, an outstanding fantasy series.
The Outskirter's Secret expands on the concepts in the first book, but takes us out of the relative safety of the Inner Lands and into the wilderness of the Outskirts.
I can't believe I've only just started reading this series and am already on the third book.
Still a MUST READ.
Saga #1
Recommended by
kevin
Created by writer Brian K. Vaughan and artist Fiona Staples, Saga is a beautifully intimate space opera.
It touches on race, religion, conflict, family and love, with a deft hand and imagery that is just sublime.
Proof that Image Comics' creator-owned approach really works. These are the kinds of stories that comics were made for.
Dispersion
Recommended by
sohkamyung
A fascinating tale set in a world where people are physically separated into six factions. To one faction, members of other factions can be physically invisible. But now a deadly disease called the Dispersion is affecting their bodies, making them become part of another faction. And it's up to a group of scientists to figure out how their world works and how the Dispersion affects them.
Muti Nation
Recommended by
sakina
A nail-biting introduction to South African magic and a nice bit of terror into the bargain. No reading this one on a dark stormy night unless you're bigger and hairier than the sorcerer!
The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction, November/December 2022
Recommended by
sohkamyung
A good issue with mostly interesting and wonderful stories, some related to the holidays. I especially enjoyed the stories by John Shirley, Vida Cruz-Borja, J. C. Hsyu, Sara Ellis, Alexander Flores and Jo Miles.
