Vajra Chandrasekera recommends
The Spice Gate (2024)
Prashanth Srivatsa
"The Spice Gate is a grand epic fantasy with a fiery core of rage against injustice. This is a book you can taste, where flavour itself is a kind of magic, but also symbolic of power, trade, and violence. A critique of caste, religion, and hierarchy and the way they constrain our lives and imaginations, that takes us through the gamut of forms of resistance, from art to exile to rebellion, and reminds us: sometimes you have to rise up not only against the priests but their gods."
No One Will Come Back For Us (2023)
Premee Mohamed
"No One Will Come Back for Us does an incredible job showcasing Premee Mohamed's short fiction, vivid anatomical studies of anguished human hearts opened up so wide and vulnerable in worlds far too big, far too broken, too far gone. Stories of what people will do for each other, do to each other, out of love and pride and cruelty. This is contemporary cross-genre horror at its finest, having stolen organs from fantasy and science fiction alike to incorporate them, pulsating and alive, into its own body. It's alive, it's behind you, and it needs your eyeballs. Give them immediately."
