A Taste of Honey
Recommended by
sakina
Beautiful prose, evocative story, clever book that threw me back on my haunches and made me want to re-read it immediately.
A Duet for Invisible Strings
Recommended by
kevin
A Duet for Invisible Strings is a romance novella filled with music, mystery, and love, with a paranormal twist, and is my perfect romance story.
The writing is often haunting, and at other times, sweetly hilarious. Which, in all, paints the most wonderful picture.
A beautiful romance that I just couldn't put down. A must read for anyone looking for deep characters in a short book.
INTERZONE #278 (NOV-DEC 2018)
Recommended by
sohkamyung
A not very interesting issue of Interzone, mainly because the stories appear to be on the theme of conflicts (mainly military related) and not of much interest to me. Natalia Theodoridou's story about unusual genetically engineered soldiers is probably the most interesting.
Blood Witch
Recommended by
Yazae
Fun urban fantasy with sapphic witches and demoness, can’t say no to that !
Flora & Jim
Recommended by
sakina
Multi-layered masterpiece, as grim as it should be, and eminently quotable in any climate change conversation.
Fantasy & Science Fiction, November/December 2018
Recommended by
sohkamyung
This is an above average issue with interesting stories by Y.M. Pang, Hanuš Seiner (translated by Julie Novakova), Nina Kiriki Hoffman and Bo Balder.
Homonculus
Recommended by
kevin
A beautiful, heart-breaking, and hopeful book.
The cycle of it, the 'world outside'. And an enduring message of simply being.
Scale
Recommended by
sohkamyung
A fascinating and entertaining book about living on a world in a universe where people can come in different scales.
Full review on my website [ https://sohkamyung.github.io/reviews/fiction/2023/20230101-Scale.html ].
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.
Yamada Monogatari: Demon Hunter
Recommended by
kevin
The Yamada Monogatari series, by Richard Parks, is a rich, detailed insight into both the Japanese period I enjoy so much and the mythology of ghosts, demons and spirits that filled the storytelling and superstition of the time.
A thrilling read in the style of Raymond Chandler's Sam Spade stories.
The Last Words of Madeleine Anderson
Recommended by
kevin
The Last Words of Madeleine Anderson by Helen Kitson is a post-modern tale of friendship and fate, where the truth is only a simulacrum of itself. It's probably literary, but it's far more accessible than that suggests.
This is a truly accessible modern classic that should be winning all the awards.
It's tense while cozy. It's suspenseful while relaxed.
And it's very, very good.
INTERZONE #279 (JAN-FEB 2019)
Recommended by
sohkamyung
An average issue of Interzone, with interesting stories by Alison Wilgus, G.V. Anderson and Sean McMullen.
