Charles Stross recommends

Spring's Arcana (2023)
(Dead God's Heart, book 1)
Lilith Saintcrow
"An ice-cold contemporary reboot of Baba Yaga--some killer grannies are more lethal than others: pray she isn't yours!"

Battle of the Linguist Mages (2022)
Scotto Moore
"It reads like Snow Crash had a dance-off with Gideon the Ninth, in a world where language isn't a virus from outer space, it's a goddamn alien invasion."

Robot Artists and Black Swans (2021)
Bruce Sterling
"Bruce Sterling’s Italian short fiction is like an Asti Spumante from the vineyard where futurism was first fermented."

Gideon the Ninth (2019)
(Locked Tomb, book 1)
Tamsyn Muir
"Lesbian necromancers explore a haunted gothic palace in space! Decadent nobles vie to serve the deathless emperor! Skeletons!"

Stars Uncharted (2018)
(Stars Uncharted, book 1)
S K Dunstall
"An absorbing space opera, in the tradition of The Expanse and The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet."

Creatures of Will & Temper (2017)
(Creatures , book 1)
Molly Tanzer
"Decadent Victorians clash with dueling demon-hunters in this page-turning reinvention of Oscar Wilde's classic tale. I loved it!"
