John Shirley recommends
Destiny Nowhere (2017)
Matthew Hollis Damon
"Destiny Nowhere is scary but amusing, adventurous but thought provoking, wild but smartly fun... You can't go wrong with this one!"
Dr. Potter's Medicine Show (2017)
Eric Scott Fischl
"A powerful alchemical elixir concocted of post Civil War historical fiction, dark fantasy, Felliniesque flavoring."
Codename Prague (2011)
(Scikungfi Trilogy, book 2)
D Harlan Wilson
"This intense mixture of giddy activity, cyberpunk essences, avant fusion and social satire may make your head spin at an accelerated rate. Actual brain damage is unlikely, in most cases."
