INTERZONE #290-#291 (DOUBLE ISSUE)

An above average issue with interesting stories by Alexander Glass, Tim Major, Cécile Cristofari and Shauna O'Meara.
Much Secret Sorrow: Guy of Gisborne 1
Recommended by
kevin
This book pulls you into a richly detailed 12th Century world of politicking lords, dangerous Welsh border raids and a likeable protagonist in the form of Guy of Maebury. A careful, steady feed of recognisable, but not yet legendary, characters tops it all off.
The slow build-up is worth it and does contribute to a much livelier, fuller world and more meaningful character motivations.
The Silent Places
Recommended by
kevin
This book is so tense it gave me chest pains!
A thrilling ride, with chapters counting down towards an approaching storm.
It reads quickly, and refuses to ease up, bringing you to surprising but cathartic conclusion.
If you liked Olivia Wilde in the film A Vigilante, you'll LOVE Imogen in The Silent Place.
My first Skyla Dawn Cameron book, but definitely not my last!
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.
Homunculus
Recommended by
kevin
A beautiful, heart-breaking, and hopeful book.
The cycle of it, the 'world outside'. And an enduring message of simply being.
Jaran
Recommended by
kevin
A beautiful, contemplative journey.
It's hard to slot Jaran into a genre. It's been called "anthropological science fiction", and that kind of fits. But it doesn't cover the ideas of wonder, nature, culture and love, found with a new people on a new world.
If you liked Rosemarie Kirstein's Steerswoman series, Jaran let's you explore and fall in love with another way of life all over again.
The Queen of Ieflaria

sapphiction
I unintentionally binged this awesome fantasy. This book is was nearly impossible to put down, but I had to eat every now and then. Such a fun read!
I love the world-building, the dialogue, the characters, and pretty much everything about this book.
I can't wait for the sequel! I'm reading it next. Errr, I'll probably binge it too...
The Town
Recommended by
kevin
The Town is a fucking rollercoaster of a ride.
This Australian horror is written in a kind of jarring prose. The story is brilliant, terrifying, and utterly refuses to share its secrets with you.
On finishing this book, I promise that the first words out of your mouth will be "WHAT THE FUCK!".
Reminds me of books by China Miéville, John Langan, and Michael Marshall Smith.
Get it now!

An average issue, with interesting stories by Gregor Hartmann, Andy Dudak and John Possidente.
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!
