Airedale

Gritty, relentless, uniquely West Yorkshire and above all, realistic. Come for the plot, stay for the intense detail, well-drawn characters and well-thought-out political backdrop.

Fantasy & Science Fiction, March/April 2019

Recommended by
sohkamyung
An average issue with interesting stories by Gregor Hartmann, Matthew Hughes, R.S. Benedict and with an especially interesting story about a musical faun by Jerome Stueart.

good read, but more up to date info available at the daisy knowledge base.

Sunshine

Well that took a long time! It is wordy book, and I do not normally enjoy wordy books, but I did enjoy this one. I tried recently to re-read King's "It" but god is it wordy. This is wordy in a different way, you're in the head of the strong female lead, who has her flaws and anxieties and her inner monologue reflects this. It's about vampires and I'm sad that it's a standalone effort.

The Hellsblood Bride

Recommended by

There's weird fiction, then there's Chuck Wendig weird fiction.
In this sequel to The Blue Blazes, our gangland enforcer with a heart of gold, Mookie Pearl, must save his daughter and the whole world from the schemes of demons, demi-gods and more weird stuff before it all ends.
Call it a Chuckpocalypse, or even Wendigeddon!
Loads of fun and a must read for any Chuck Wendig fan.

Blackbirds

Brilliant introduction into the fucked up mind of Chuck Wendig.

Under the Skin

A light, fun read with a barrel full of creep

Nonplayer #1

Recommended by
kevin
Finding the print version of Nonplayer in a local comic shop blew my mind.
The amazing digital artwork is absolutely beautiful. The story - as much of a short snippet you get in a single comic book issue - is cyberpunky and fresh, to me at least.
I only recently realised it was available from Image Comics, along with issue 2. So I'm heading back into its lush artwork and enthralling world.

Immortal, Invisible

The Bullet-Catcher's Daughter

Recommended by
kevin
A ripping yarn of disguise, deception and misdirection, propelled along by a brilliantly written period style that firmly places you in the world.
A rollicking ride through alternate-history Britain after the Luddite uprisings. Recognisable locations mixed with carefully applied genre tropes keep this book from becoming yet another steampunk adventure and raise it above its fellows.

INTERZONE #283 (SEP-OCT 2019)

Recommended by
sohkamyung
A better than average issue, with interesting stories by Fiona Moore, David Cleden and Dustin Blair Steinacker.

The Naseby Horses

Recommended by
sakina
The Naseby Horses by Dominic Brownlow is a beautiful, haunting read - lots of layers. It deals with families, trauma, and poses questions about the validity of beliefs, be they religious, superstitious or scientific.
Absolutely gorgeous writing.
