Her Pretty Knight (Sapphic Lady Knights, #1)
Recommended by
Mage
A enjoyable read, I found myself really invested in the relationship between Della and Galeon, especially through the last few chapters. Its just that during the middle of the book one event can feel disconnected to another, maybe that's just me though.

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.
The Things We Carve
Recommended by
kevin
What a fantastic book!
Gorgeously illustrated. I loved the limited use of colour to introduce a new character and their different ideas.
At the end the artist describes how they always run to topics on creativity when they're lost in their own creative journey. This book speaks to craftspeople everywhere.
A stunning find I was lucky to come across at the ShortBox Comics Fair.

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.
Airedale
Recommended by
sakina
Gritty, relentless, uniquely West Yorkshire and above all, realistic. Come for the plot, stay for the intense detail, well-drawn characters and well-thought-out political backdrop.
Arachne
Recommended by
kevin
Arachne is an unique entry in the cyberpunk genre. It steps between the dystopia of William Gibson and the otherworldliness of Phillip K. Dick.
Full of 'almost' body-horror, corporations so mega that they transact court cases in nanoseconds, and AI characters with more spiritualism in their circuits than the humans that inhabit this post Big-One San Francisco.
A must-read for cyberpunk fans!
Even When the World Has Told Us We Have Ended
Recommended by
kevin
If you haven't read any of Cat Hellisen's books before, read this first.
A beautifully crafted tale. Otherwordly, sinister, near-horror, it has sides and edges I couldn't grasp, as my eyes slid off them, unable to focus while it slowly insinuated its pages, paragraphs, sentences, words, and letters into my brain.
A MUST READ, and it will only be the beginning of your journey!
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 Steerswoman
Recommended by
kevin
An amazing fantasy tale that slowly unfolds to reveal a surprising twist.
At first, all seems familiar. You recognise the world of wizards and the ranger-like steerswomen. But, just like the steerswomen themselves, the more you learn, the more sense you begin to make of this world. Something isn't quite right.
Rosemary Kirstein has me hooked! I've already started the next book in the series.
