The Waterborne Blade

What a fantastic book!
Loved every minute, there's never a lag, and the characters are full, interesting, and complicated.
Now that some secrets have been revealed, the ante has upped, and things or GOING OFF!
Immediately started the sequel.
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.
Fantasy & Science Fiction, May/June 2019

An above average issue. An interesting mix of SF (Lavie Tidhar), Fantasy (Kelly Barnhill, Matthew Hughes) and Horror (Pip Coen, Rebecca Campbell) with a standout story by David Gullen.
INTERZONE #286 (MAR-APR 2020)
Recommended by
sohkamyung
An average issue with stories that appear to be linked by featuring characters with psychological issues facing various uncertain futures.
Let's Play White
Recommended by
sakina
Thoughtful collection of tales that stay with you for months afterwards. Beautifully written, sensitively conceived, a series of set ups for injustices, love, and pain with a backdrop of the Black cultural experience in a white-oriented world.
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.

An average issue with interesting stories by C. B. Blanchard, Karim Kattan, Lucas X. Wiseman, Remi Martin, with an interesting story by Douglas Schwarz involving the paintings in the Lascaux caves.

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!
In the Sweep of the Bay
Recommended by
sakina
Why do we make the choices we do? Social and family pressures, personal beliefs of our place in society and of how our lives are supposed to be. This is a book that lets you look inside the lives of one family, and gives you the sense of understanding that a bitter or reserved exterior can hide losses that no-one else knows about.
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.
INTERZONE #284 (NOV-DEC 2019)
Recommended by
sohkamyung
An okay issue of Interzone, with the more interesting stories by Joanna Berry, David Tallerman and Tim Chawaga.
Flora & Jim

Multi-layered masterpiece, as grim as it should be, and eminently quotable in any climate change conversation.
