Fantasy & Science Fiction, January/February 2019

An about average issue, with mostly 'mild' fantasy stories (mild in the sense that there is minimal magic involved). Among those that stood out for me are the ones by Carrie Vaughn, Sean McMullen and Pip Coen.
The Witches of Greasy Creek
Recommended by
kevin
What a fantastic book!
A brilliant story and introduction to Appalachian communities.
Kate is an unlikely, but enthusiastic protagonist who has had enough of being messed about, and is out to learn from her grandmother, a witch.
Lots of fun, really tense and exciting. Another occult thriller with heart that you just won't want to put down!
Fermi's Wake: For the Trees
Recommended by
kevin
My absolute favourite Fermi book so far!
For the Trees is a stunning, heartbreaking, mind-blowing novella that should be winning awards everywhere.
Chris shows the heights his writing can reach with this story. Peeling back layers as the true nature of both story strands unfold.
Read this today!
The Sad Bastard Cookbook
Recommended by
Ree
This cookbook got me to try preparing meals that didn't come in a box. Recipes here are straightforward and interspersed with bits of nerdy humor. (I think I have as many pages bookmarked for references I enjoyed as for recipes I want to try.) There are also some fancier meals for when you're having a good day and want to try something more advanced.
Have a free cookbook, as a treat.

A Taste of Honey
Recommended by
kevin
The beauty of the prose is only matched by the imagination behind the world-building. This novella, while short, breaks my heart, reforms it, and breaks it once more.
While the writing itself might not be to everyone's tastes, you cannot deny its beauty. Each sentence is carved and crafted, each paragraph moulded into art.
Reading Kai Ashante Wilson's work is an experience not to be missed.
Blood Witch

Fun urban fantasy with sapphic witches and demoness, can’t say no to that !
INTERZONE #282 (JUL-AUG 2019)

A better than average issue filled with fascinating stories. The best of the good stories are by Storm Humbert, Erica L. Satifka and Gregor Hartmann.

An interesting set of stories in the issue, with the ones by Michael Libling, Matthew Hughes, Gregor Hartmann and Marie Vibbert.
Fantasy & Science Fiction, January/February 2021
Recommended by
sohkamyung
A better than average last issue of this magazine to be edited by C.C. Finlay. It features interesting stories by Robert Reed, Jonathan L. Howard, John Kessel, Lavie Tidhar and James Morrow. "N-raptured" by Justin C. Key, however, may be too US-centric a story to be enjoyed by those who are not familiar with racism and the use of racial words in the US against African-Americans.
Fantasy & Science Fiction, March/April 2021

A better than average first issue under the new editor, Sheree Renée Thomas, it features interesting stories by C. L. Polk, Madeleine E. Robins, Molly Tanzer, Robin Furth and a fascinating story by Marie Brennan based on the legend of "The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter".
Fermi's Progress 1: Dyson's Fear
Recommended by
kevin
This book got me hooked!
It delivers hard science fiction, pathos, beautifully dark comedy, a dig at every lazy sci-fi trope in existence, plenty of laughs, and is simply a must-read.
You know what you're getting into from the clever book titles. The humour is Jonathan Swift meets Red Dwarf. And the science is terrifyingly accurate...
