Cure: Book One in the Strandville Zombie Series
Recommended by
weaver
I admit this was my first time reading a zombie book. The zombie genre hasn't always been my favorite in film and television, so I wasn't keen on reading a zombie book. But Frisch has a medical background and that made this book very interesting, as it revolved around a hospital. Very enjoyable, my only regret was that I didn't immediately read the next book so now I have to re-read it. :)
The World Turned Upside Down
Recommended by
Ree
Classic scifi short stories. Even if you're familiar with the tales, it's worth reading the many forewords and afterwords the editors provide, where they examine their own relationships to these stories. (My personal fave: "Shambleau" by C. L. Moore.)
This book is available on several Baen CDs and downloadable free and legally from various sites.

Fermi's Wake: For the Trees
Recommended by
kevin
My absolute favourite Fermi book so far!
For the Trees is a stunning, heartbreaking, mind-blowing novella that should be winning awards everywhere.
Chris shows the heights his writing can reach with this story. Peeling back layers as the true nature of both story strands unfold.
Read this today!
The Inconvenient God
Recommended by
sakina
Fabulous and imaginative story in an unusual setting, with themes of oppression, lost language and spirituality. Reminded me of Terry Pratchett, though very different from his work.
The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction, Jul/Aug 2023
Recommended by
sohkamyung
A better than average issue, with interesting stories by Kristina Ten, DaVaun Sanders, Nick Thomas, Jennifer Hudak, and two standout stories by Peter S. Beagle and Aimee Ogden.

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.
The Lampmaker of Low Street

What a great short read!
Can't wait to get started on Simon's other novellas.
Instantiation

A collection of Egan's recent stories, this collection shows the strength and breath of the author's imagination in stories that span from personal crisis, financial and biological, to ones that envelop the whole world and involve characters that think about and solve complex problems.
