Memory
Recommended by
kevin
An amazing story that more than fulfils my need for great world-building. Such a creative mix of the unrecognisable, beautiful prose, and an uncanny skill for weaving technology into mythology.
Memory is slow to build, but when it does, it does so steadily. As our characters explore the 'Ring of the World' we learn with them, understand with them and fight back with them.
A wonderful read.
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!
The Sea Hates A Coward
Recommended by
kevin
I don't normally like the whole zombie genre.
But what Crowley has done with his undead POV, uprising, mutiny, sea monster, revolutionary, thoughtful treatise on life (then death and then more life) tale is absolutely stunning.
Took a bit of effort to get going, but it's definitely worth sticking with it. A great addition to the New Weird.
Nate Crowley's book put me off scampi for months!
The Postman
Recommended by
sakina
Bloody loved it! Epic story with a vision for the future that is possibly more relevant in 2020 than it was when the book was first published.
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.
The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction, Winter 2024

The Language of Power
Recommended by
kevin
An amazing instalment in the Steerswoman fantasy series.
We're back to the Inner Lands now and we're learning more and more about this world and what's going on.
In this book, we finally see what wizards can do. And the steerswoman and the Outlander take the fight straight to their door.
If you enjoy excellent world-building and puzzling plots, start reading The Steerswoman series. Now!
Sinful Folk
Recommended by
kevin
I'm always intrigued by novels that are inspired by tiny snippets of historical events.
A sliver of history taken as a seed, with enough facts to place it in a believable context, can be a rich seam for a skilled author. Ned Hayes has recreated a dark period of British history and, taking little-known facts, has wrapped them in a heart-wrenching tale of loss, vengeance, treachery, and grief.
Inside Evil
Recommended by
kevin
A really fun read, with more depth and suspense than you might expect.
A parallel world, murder, a seemingly-sleepy village hiding deadly secrets.
A surprise hit with me, this is the first on a series that I really want to get back to.

A better than average issue with good tales by Matthew Hughes, Gregor Hartmann, Amanda Hollander, Elizabeth Bear and a fantastic tale involving thinking mechanicals beings by Ian Tregillis.

A better than average issue with some interesting stories, and some chilling horror stories. I enjoyed those stories by Rudi Dornemann, Brian Trent, Charlie Hughes, Nick Wolven, Rajeev Prasad, Paul Tobin and Nick DiChario.

The Blue Blazes
Recommended by
kevin
This weird, wild, violent, dangerous, almost-fantasy, New York setting is pure Chuck Wendig.
Mookie Pearl is to the gangland thug what Miriam Black is to the care home nurse. If this is what happens when Chuck Wendig is given free rein to create his own universe and populate it with strange gods, demons and magic, then I want more of it!
Read it and the sequel. Well done Chuck!
