Homunculus

A beautiful, heart-breaking, and hopeful book.
The cycle of it, the 'world outside'. And an enduring message of simply being.
Failing States Collapsing Systems Biophysical Triggers of Political Violence

Eye-opening paper, written with clarity and insight.
H.P. Lovecraft: The Ultimate Collection (160 Works including Early Writings, Fiction, Collaborations, Poetry, Essays & Bonus Audiobook Links

Perhaps not the marathon you want to do in one sitting. However, warts and all, this is a great pool for the occasional dip into Lovecraft when the mood takes you.
The World Turned Upside Down
Recommended by
Ree
Classic scifi short stories. Even if you're familiar with the tales, it's worth reading the many forewords and afterwords the editors provide, where they examine their own relationships to these stories. (My personal fave: "Shambleau" by C. L. Moore.)
This book is available on several Baen CDs and downloadable free and legally from various sites.
Dweller on the Threshold
Recommended by
kevin
Another stunning thriller from Skyla Dawn Cameron.
Personal, gritty, heart-wrenching. Everything you'd expect from the author.
Cameron wraps her stories in a familiar, 'cosy' skin that she peels away page by page to reveal the monster beneath. Her biographical approach
What's in the house? Only what you take with you.
Oh, and Fuck Greg!
Waterborne Exile
Recommended by
kevin
A fantastic middle book!
New characters, new plans, new plots and schemes, and new enemies join the existing and brilliantly realised characters from the first book.
The underlying evil is still on the edges. We're never sure who truly represents it - which makes this series a wonderful read for fantasy fans looking for more meat on the bone.
Another must read!
Fantasy & Science Fiction, September/October 2019
Recommended by
sohkamyung
A better than average 70th anniversary issue of the magazine with an unusual fairy tale by Kelly Link, a tale of media destruction by Paolo Bacigalupi, a funny twist on eastern martial arts by Y.M. Pang and other interesting tales by Ken Liu, Esther Friesner and Gardner Dozois.
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.
Becoming Crone (The Crone Wars)
Recommended by
kevin
Fans of urban fantasy looking for a protagonist who is a little more... mature, will love Becoming Crone.
Claire has seen it all, or so she thinks. Her world-weariness, her highly-developed lack of trust, and her not-unexpected ability to expect things to go wrong make her the perfect character to introduce us to a world of witches, gargoyles, werewolves, and witches, plenty of witches.
INTERZONE #290-#291 (DOUBLE ISSUE)
Recommended by
sohkamyung
An above average issue with interesting stories by Alexander Glass, Tim Major, Cécile Cristofari and Shauna O'Meara.
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.
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.
