The Tea Master and the Detective

Recommended by
kevin
This wonderfully crafted novella was my introduction to Aliette's work, and what a first impression!
The story references Conan Doyle's Holmes and Watson while showing the utmost respect to the work. You could almost call it a wonderful sci-fi character analysis of A Study in Scarlet.
A beautiful science fiction tale. And a must read for any fans of science fiction or Sherlock Holmes.

Anoka: A Collection of Indigenous Horror

Recommended by
kevin
A fantastic collection of gut-wrenching tales.
The imagery will stay with you, as will the depth to which Shane Hawk is willing and able to explore his indigenous Cheyenne and Arapaho heritage. Crafting tales that provide a refreshing point-of-view and unique imagery that get into your brain and writhe behind your eyes.
Can't wait to read a longer work by the author. Need more!

Arachne

Recommended by
kevin
Arachne is an unique entry in the cyberpunk genre. It steps between the dystopia of William Gibson and the otherworldliness of Phillip K. Dick.
Full of 'almost' body-horror, corporations so mega that they transact court cases in nanoseconds, and AI characters with more spiritualism in their circuits than the humans that inhabit this post Big-One San Francisco.
A must-read for cyberpunk fans!

Night Calls

Recommended by

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!
