Tobias S Buckell recommends
thumb
Jamaica Ginger and Other Concoctions (2024)
Nalo Hopkinson
"A melange of stories that spins together roots, dreams, and powerful tales the way only Nalo can. It's easy to get lost in the verses and images that drip from the page. A must read."
thumb
The Immortality Thief (2022)
(Kystrom Chronicles, book 1)
Taran Hunt
"An electrically brisk science fantasy adventure filled with the warmth of found family, lively humor, and high adventure. You'll want to spend time with this crew of space salvagers as they encounter ancient power that could change their fortunes... if they can think on their feet quickly enough."
thumb
We Won't Be Here Tomorrow: And Other Stories (2022)
Margaret Killjoy
"Killjoy is an exciting, radical gust of freshness and anarchic energy that leaves you seeing the world with new eyes. These stories showcase Killjoy's electrifying range, and lets us into the genuine warmth of characters who are often sidelined by the world at large."
