The Planetbreaker's Son (2021)
(Outspoken Authors, book 26)
Nick Mamatas
"The sharpest, funniest, most insightful and political purveyor of post-pulp pleasures going."
thumb
Cygnet (2019)
Season Butler
"Terribly moving. A clear-sighted, poignant rumination on loneliness, love, the melancholy of age and of youth."
thumb
Confessions of the Fox (2018)
Jordy Rosenberg
"Extraordinary and brilliant . . . At once a queer love story, radical counterhistory, and a thrilling page-turner, Confessions of the Fox is a vitally important work of our time."
thumb
You Should Come With Me Now (2017)
M John Harrison
"With an austere and deeply moving humanism, M. John Harrison proves what only those crippled by respectability still doubt – that science fiction can be literature, of the very greatest kind."
thumb
Deadstock (2007)
(Punktown, book 2)
Jeffrey Thomas
"Jeffrey Thomas has done something wonderful."
thumb
Shriek (2006)
(Ambergris, book 2)
Jeff VanderMeer
"Unsettling, erudite, dark, shot through with unexpected humour. Ambergris is one of my favourite haunts in fiction."
