25 Ways To Kill A Werewolf
Recommended by
kevin
A brilliantly modern take on the werewolf slayer trope where a growing, changing character discovers that the real predators are usually the men in her life.
There's much more to this book than how Elkie kills werewolves and works out where they're coming from. Her relationships change, she finds out what she's capable of, not just killing 'furred-up' beasts, but farming, rescuing, growing.
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.
Phoresis
Recommended by
sohkamyung
An interesting story of discovery and survival set in a system where two small worlds circle each other and they orbit a sun together. The worlds are cold and covered by ice but the tidal forces between the worlds ensure their interiors are heated and some heat breaks through the ice in the form of geysers, bringing with it life giving chemicals and material.
All Is Bright
Recommended by
kevin
Another beautiful romance novella from Llinos Cathryn Thomas.
The North Wales setting. Bethan's return to her childhood village. Revisiting her feelings about growing up, differences, acceptance are all treated with care and love.
Mali's approach and experiences reflecting back on Bethan's - gently holding up a mirror to her life and what she really wants.
A lovely Christmas read.
Nonplayer #2
Recommended by
kevin
As wonderful and entrancing as the first issue.
This beautifully illustrated second comic from Nate Simpson, opens up the world, broadens the scope and sets up some interesting conflict.
I can't wait for the third in the series. This is a story to get lost in.
Well done Nate and Image Comics.
INTERZONE #289 (NOV-DEC 2020)
Recommended by
sohkamyung
A lower than average issue with stories that didn't really attract my attention apart from stories by Cécile Cristofari and David Maskill. The tale by Maskill is the 2019 James White Award Winning story
INTERZONE #281 (MAY-JUN 2019)
Recommended by
sohkamyung
A rather light-weight issue with stories that probably appeal to those who prefer a more 'literary' style of SF than what I would normally read. The stories that I found interesting were by James Warner, Andy Dudak and Malcolm Devlin.
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!
Galaxy's Edge Issue 43: Tribute Issue
Recommended by
sohkamyung
A nice, average issue with fun stories by Andrew Peery, Kristine Kathryn Rusch, Larry Hodges, J. Scott Coatsworth, Eleanor R. Wood, Janis Ian and Mike Resnick. Between the stories are appreciations by numerous writers about Mike Resnick's influence on themselves and the SF community.
The Healers' Home
Recommended by
kevin
Another beautiful read by S.E. Robertson!
I'm really enjoying this slice-of-life fantasy genre I've only just learned about. The Healers' Home gives us a more stable setting, some new drama as past-acquaintances re-appear, and work to do as Agna and Keifon try and fit in to their new lives.
Family expectations, awkward commitments and trying relationships flesh out this wonderful book.
INTERZONE #280 (MAR-APR 2019)
Recommended by
sohkamyung
A better than average issue with three good stories by Val Nolan, Maria Haskins and Nicholas Kaufmann and an emotional tale by Shauna O'Meara.
INTERZONE #292-#293 DOUBLE ISSUE
Recommended by
sohkamyung
An average issue of Interzone, the last to be edited by Andy Cox, with interesting stories by Alexander Glass (three of them here), Cécile Cristofari and Tamika Thompson.
