tories can be the gateway to the past. One of the things I enjoy most about reading about vampires and vampire-like creatures is imagining the real-life events that might have inspired people living in the distant past to come up with such folklore an ...more |

Some fairy tales have sharp teeth. ”The (Attempted) Murder of a Pot Head” showed what happened after the protagonist was poisoned at a family reunion and had to try to figure out who might have been the culprit and what their motivation was. There was ...more |

DNA only tells part of the story. Genetic engineering is one of those topics I often like to see covered in the Science Fiction genre because of how many different ways it can be approached. While I don’t want to go into too much detail about what exa ...more |

Love comes in many different forms. I enjoyed seeing how much trust the author put into assuming readers would figure out some things on our own. Not every aspect of these characters’ lives was spelled out plainly, and a few of them could only be unco ...more |

Sunny is working in America, and he is lonely. Each finds a companion, but the companions are toxic, and they bring toxic things into the lives of Sonia and Sunny, things that will haunt them. This is " Read more of this review » |

Reproduction freedom is more than a catch phrase. The science fiction elements were intriguing and like nothing I’ve ever seen in this genre before. I especially enjoyed the sections that discussed how human reproduction could be altered in order to m ...more |

What happens after climate change begins to make Earth a difficult place to survive? The plot twists in “Seed Children” made me smile. I especially liked the way the protagonist, a synthetic person, described her relationships with the children in her ...more |

Some things are too precious to part with. Be’s backstory was a true highlight of this tale. This character didn’t’ identify as any gender or with any set of pronouns, but I will be using they and them to discuss them for the sake of making this revie ...more |

“You’re not destined or chosen, I wish I could tell you that you were if that would make it easier, but it’s not true. You’re in the right place at the right time, and you care enough to do what needs to be done. Sometimes that’s enough.”

“It's one thing to be told about the world that was. It's another to see a piece of it.”

“If you choose to try to make a life with another person, you will live by that choice. You'd find yourself having to choose again and again to remain rather than run. It helps if you enter into a committed relationship prepared to work, ready to be humbled and willing to accept and even enjoy living in that in-between space, bouncing between the poles of beautiful and horrible, sometimes in the span of a single conversation, sometimes over the course of years. And inside of that choice and those years you'll almost certainly come to see that there is no such thing as a 50-50 balance, instead it will be like beads on an abacus, sliding back and forth, the maths rarely tidy, the equation never quite solved....”
