Outermen
Recommended by
kevin
Amazingly-written, weird, claustrophobic, space, alternate Earth, horror story from a brilliant author who consistently nails it!
A tale of the Outside, what's beyond and, ultimately, fear of what may or may not be there. If there is something, stay hidden! If there isn't anything but a vast void, then stay home, be nice, don't explore, we're alone...
A story about our culture.

An average issue, with lots of shorter pieces of fiction and only a few longer ones. The stories that I found more interesting are those by Fawaz Al-Matrouk, Ai Jiang, Julie Le Blanc, Taemumu Richardson, Shreya Ila Anasuya and John Wiswell.

The Tea Master and the Detective
Recommended by
kevin
This wonderfully crafted novella was my introduction to Aliette's work, and what a first impression!
The story references Conan Doyle's Holmes and Watson while showing the utmost respect to the work. You could almost call it a wonderful sci-fi character analysis of A Study in Scarlet.
A beautiful science fiction tale. And a must read for any fans of science fiction or Sherlock Holmes.

Fun story, great details, and some really nice writing.
Origin Complex
Recommended by
kevin
This is the most stunning science fiction novel I've read in years. To see such scope and grandeur in an independent title makes my heart sing!
You'll come for the mechs and ancient alien horrors, but you'll stay for the archaeology and one of the best robot-human buddy pairings since Iain M. Banks' Culture series.

The Things We Carve
Recommended by

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.

Beautiful prose, evocative story, clever book that threw me back on my haunches and made me want to re-read it immediately.
