Glitch Rain

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.
The Fisherman
Recommended by
kevin
Yes, The Fisherman is a little Lovecraftian, with its ancient gods, cultists, and watery... things. But it has much more going for it. The Fisherman is a work of beauty that Lovecraft never came close to.
You grieve with Abe as he tries to pick up the pieces. You worry about what Dan will do... and when he'll break. You wonder which story you are actually reading and who is telling it.
Clarkesworld Magazine Issue 209
Recommended by
sohkamyung
An average issue, with interesting stories by Zohar Jacobs and Yang Wanqing. Full review at [ https://sohkamyung.github.io/reviews/magazines/Clarkesworld/20240209-Clarkesworld209.html ].
Blood Witch
Recommended by
Yazae
Fun urban fantasy with sapphic witches and demoness, can’t say no to that !
Dichronauts
Recommended by
sohkamyung
Another interesting Hard SF read by Egan. It's not as mind-bending or physics-bending as his "Orthogonal" series but contains intriguing ideas and characters. In contrast to his previous books where the characters slowly learn (and educate the reader about) the physics of their environment, here they are already well versed in the strange (to us) geometry of their universe and its consequences.
INTERZONE #281 (MAY-JUN 2019)
Recommended by
sohkamyung
A rather light-weight issue with stories that probably appeal to those who prefer a more 'literary' style of SF than what I would normally read. The stories that I found interesting were by James Warner, Andy Dudak and Malcolm Devlin.
South Breaks

South Breaks made semi-finalist in SPFBOX (2024).
Fat Vampire
Recommended by
genxxer
This is a delight for anyone into delicious dark comedy. Reginald Baskins is a man-mountain who finds himself turned by his colleague. This is one of the few books that I have genuinely laughed while reading.
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!
