Memory

Recommended by
kevin
An amazing story that more than fulfils my need for great world-building. Such a creative mix of the unrecognisable, beautiful prose, and an uncanny skill for weaving technology into mythology.
Memory is slow to build, but when it does, it does so steadily. As our characters explore the 'Ring of the World' we learn with them, understand with them and fight back with them.
A wonderful read.

Gold and Jasper

Recommended by
sakina
It's absolutely beautiful, with delicate, precise writing that perfectly encapsulates a sense of place, of culture, of magic.

INTERZONE #285 (JAN-FEB 2020)

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

The Postman

Recommended by
sakina
Bloody loved it! Epic story with a vision for the future that is possibly more relevant in 2020 than it was when the book was first published.

Night Calls - Sample Chapter

Recommended by
kevin
Well I certainly loved this sample!
Moved along at a nice pace. Plenty of events, but not rushed. Language, descriptions and sense of location & time seem spot-on. It's the first in a series too.
I'm intrigued and excited to read more. Just what a sample should do. And it's from Book View Cafe, so I know 90% my money will go to the author.
Off to buy the full book asap!

Accessible EPUB 3

danielweck
good read, but more up to date info available at the daisy knowledge base.

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.

The Lampmaker of Low Street

Recommended by
kevin
What a great short read!
Can't wait to get started on Simon's other novellas.

The Inconvenient God

Recommended by
sakina
Fabulous and imaginative story in an unusual setting, with themes of oppression, lost language and spirituality. Reminded me of Terry Pratchett, though very different from his work.

The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction, July/August 2022

Recommended by
sohkamyung
A better than average issue with some interesting stories, and some chilling horror stories. I enjoyed those stories by Rudi Dornemann, Brian Trent, Charlie Hughes, Nick Wolven, Rajeev Prasad, Paul Tobin and Nick DiChario.
