I don't say this lightly: This is a powerful book, one that made me care about the author, infuriated by the shit they had to deal with, but also appreciative that I got to read about it, and in doing so, learned a lot, about her (our) world and myself.

Well, this was really, really good, even if, as an ugly American, I didn't understand some of the Gaelic / Irish references. Or words.

I know this won't stop anything, since the kind of people who spread these lies don't follow me (thank God, Buddha, Allah, Cthulhu, Moses, and Lemmy), but in case you need to educate someone in your life...

There's a lot mercenaries can do when they retire: sleep, eat, golf... But in Cat Rambo's "Disco Space Opera" series, they open a restaurant…and still get into trouble. In this exclusive Q&A, Rambo discusses the 2nd installment, "Devil's Gun," which is now in paperback.

A coming-of-age memoir of a queer hijabi Muslim immigrant. So, y'know, a light read that won't open my eyes or anything.

Under normal circumstances, referencing "The Flintstones," Traci Lords, and Iron Maiden's Eddie in the first 17 pages would be a red flag, but so far, this guy makes it work.

Super freaky and disturbing, but in a way that was compelling...and probably not the best book to read during lunch.

In my new interview with author Wen Spencer, she talks about how her new urban fantasy novel "Storm Furies" — the seventh in her "Elfhome" series — was originally the back half of her previous novel, "Harbinger."

While some stories about nature-based disasters are meant to entertain, others — such as Kate Risse’s new cli-fi novel "Inland" — are meant to be preventative messages. In this exclusive interview, Risse talks about what inspired and influenced this cautionary tale.

Is she black? Is she Indian? Hey, Donald Schmuck, all I care about is that she's not you. That she's smart, fair, and compassionate, and not a selfish, self-centered idiot who wants to be a dictator but is only ever going to be a dick.
