SEANAN McGUIRE is the author of the Wayward Children series, the October Daye urban fantasy series, the InCryptid series, and other works. She also writes darker fiction as Mira Grant. Seanan lives in Seattle with her cats, a vast collection of creepy dolls, and horror movies, and sufficient books to qualify her as a fire hazard. She was the winner of the 2010 John W. Campbell Award for Best New Writer, and in 2013 she became the first person ever to appear five times on the same Hugo ballot.

Seanan McGuire recommends

Dual Memory (2023)
Sue Burke
"Sue Burke only gets better and better. She is a genuine if unsung hero of our genre."

Infinity Gate (2023)
(Pandominion, book 1)
M R Carey
"This is gripping, unrelenting, and absolutely unique. Carey is working at the absolute top of his game."

Sister, Maiden, Monster (2023)
Lucy A Snyder
"Absolutely recommended for readers of the cosmic and gloriously horrific."

Self-Portrait with Nothing (2022)
Aimee Pokwatka
"Self-Portrait with Nothing is a thoughtful, beautiful contemplation on identity and how we build ourselves from all the bones we're given, both by the people who love us and by the people who leave us. How is this a first novel? Gorgeously drawn characters in a new and compelling setting, this is a beautiful book that deserves to be read."

A Half-Built Garden (2022)
Ruthanna Emrys
"This complex, complicated, gorgeous musing on the future of humanity and the power of connection, the things we owe to each other and the essential strength of consensus, deserves to be the first contact novel that defines a generation."
