Molly Tanzer recommends
thumb
The Circumference of the World (2023)
Lavie Tidhar
"Brilliant and bizarre, Lavie Tidhar's The Circumference of the World is many things--but fundamentally it is a love letter to the Golden Age of science fiction, whether or not it deserves it (it does), as well as a love letter to its writers, whether or not they deserve it (they don't. Well, mostly.)"
thumb
Ruin (2022)
Cara Hoffman
"Cara Hoffman's short fiction is as tense and rich with the opaque and the precise as a painting by Leonora Carrington."
thumb
In the Night Wood (2018)
Dale Bailey
"In the Night Wood is a wonder: literary, intriguingly supernatural, and all too human. A must read for anyone who as a child wanted to find a magic wardrobe to explore or a rabbit hole to fall down only to realize as an adult that those whimsical childhood adventures have a darker side."
