Between the Scanlines - Issue 1
Recommended by
kevin
I love a good zine! And Between the Scanlines hits the sweet spot for me; not too long that it stretches each issue, yet filled with plenty of retro gaming info.
Sasha and Kit are doing amazing work here. Buy as many issues as you can, and fill your eyes with gaming goodness with a lovely helping of personality and passion!

Love this! A perfect blend of humor, action, and romance. The characters were delightful and endearing. The pacing was great. The writing is top notch. It was so hard to put down. Don't start this one if you've got things to do.
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 Fury of Blacky Jaguar
Recommended by
sakina
Noir-with-a-vengeance, this story drags you round downtown NYC, giving you tonnes of action, gratuitous violence and guns, in return for a 2-hour read. Tightly written, well described, and leaves you breathless.
Glitch Rain
Recommended by
aa5an
Really enjoyed this novella, like early Gibson but with contemporary themes as source material. Drones, social media, self driving cars, AI, etc,....
Hopefully there's more to come.
Fantasy & Science Fiction, January/February 2019
Recommended by
sohkamyung
An about average issue, with mostly 'mild' fantasy stories (mild in the sense that there is minimal magic involved). Among those that stood out for me are the ones by Carrie Vaughn, Sean McMullen and Pip Coen.
The Things We Carve
Recommended by
kevin
What a fantastic book!
Gorgeously illustrated. I loved the limited use of colour to introduce a new character and their different ideas.
At the end the artist describes how they always run to topics on creativity when they're lost in their own creative journey. This book speaks to craftspeople everywhere.
A stunning find I was lucky to come across at the ShortBox Comics Fair.
Fantasy & Science Fiction. July/August 2021

A better than average issue with some interesting stories. Those that I enjoyed are by Michael Swanwick, Yukimi Ogawa, Lauren Ring, Phoenix Alexander, Lisa Lacey Liscoumb, Paula Keane, Rowan Wren and Tato Navarrete Díaz.
H.P. Lovecraft: The Ultimate Collection (160 Works including Early Writings, Fiction, Collaborations, Poetry, Essays & Bonus Audiobook Links

Perhaps not the marathon you want to do in one sitting. However, warts and all, this is a great pool for the occasional dip into Lovecraft when the mood takes you.
The Voyages of Cinrak the Dapper
Recommended by
kevin
A. J. Fitzwater has written a beautiful, hopeful, light-filled and joyous book!
This mosaic title filled with anthropomorphic rodents, sea creatures, mer folk and... cats, will more than make you smile. With a swashbuckling capybara pirate captain and chinchilla kraken-communicating ship's mate adventuring with their pure hearts to... bearded islands...? You'll never want this adventure to end!
The Book of All Skies
Recommended by
sohkamyung
An interesting journey of discovery through a world of many skies

Seeing Double
Recommended by
kevin
You know how you sometimes get too comfortable in familiar genres and need a book to come along and kick you out of your comfort zone? Well, this was mine.
We fall into the world-weary lives of a newly-married ex-pat couple. The author explores sex, pain, abuse, assault, desire, trauma... and the relationships, even love, based on all these things.
An uncomfortable, but rewarding read.
