Fantasy & Science Fiction, November/December 2020

Recommended by
sohkamyung
An interesting collection with good stories from Nadia Afifi, Nick Dichario, Lyndsie Manusos and an interesting take on the zombie invasion story by Sarina Dorie, trying it with school safety protocols that may or may not work.

South Breaks made semi-finalist in SPFBOX (2024).

The Voyages of Cinrak the Dapper

Recommended by
kevin
A. J. Fitzwater has written a beautiful, hopeful, light-filled and joyous book!
This mosaic title filled with anthropomorphic rodents, sea creatures, mer folk and... cats, will more than make you smile. With a swashbuckling capybara pirate captain and chinchilla kraken-communicating ship's mate adventuring with their pure hearts to... bearded islands...? You'll never want this adventure to end!

Yamada Monogatari: Demon Hunter

Recommended by
kevin
The Yamada Monogatari series, by Richard Parks, is a rich, detailed insight into both the Japanese period I enjoy so much and the mythology of ghosts, demons and spirits that filled the storytelling and superstition of the time.
A thrilling read in the style of Raymond Chandler's Sam Spade stories.

INTERZONE #283 (SEP-OCT 2019)

Recommended by
sohkamyung
A better than average issue, with interesting stories by Fiona Moore, David Cleden and Dustin Blair Steinacker.

Babylon Steel

Recommended by
kevin
Gaie Sebold has created such a rich universe of worlds and characters in her Babylon Steel novels, that you can't help finding something to enjoy.
For me the two books have been a complete blast and I can't wait for the third... when it arrives.
They are FUN! That's not to say there's no emotion, pathos, danger and risk in them. Not at all.
An absolute riot of multi-world fantasy fiction.

The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction, Jan/Feb 2022

Recommended by
sohkamyung
An average issue with some interesting stories by Eugie Foster, Nick Dichario, Auston Habershaw, Maiga Doocy and J. A. Pak.

The Blue Blazes

Recommended by
kevin
This weird, wild, violent, dangerous, almost-fantasy, New York setting is pure Chuck Wendig.
Mookie Pearl is to the gangland thug what Miriam Black is to the care home nurse. If this is what happens when Chuck Wendig is given free rein to create his own universe and populate it with strange gods, demons and magic, then I want more of it!
Read it and the sequel. Well done Chuck!

Fantasy & Science Fiction, September/October 2020

Recommended by
sohkamyung
An average issue that starts with an unusual tour through a library by David Gerrold with other interesting tales by Marc Laidlaw and Angie Peng, a fun piece by Brian Trent featuring some Greek Gods and a dog and a long fairy-tale like story by Leah Cypess that shows that fairies may not have the best interests of the people at heart when they give blessings.

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.

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