Fans of the Kitty Norville series will find a comforting haven in Carrie Vaughn’s latest short story collection, KITTY’S MIX-TAPE. Vaughn is a master at making the monstrous familiar, and even wryly funny.
WASHINGTON STATE MAGAZINE staff reveal what they’ve been reading, watching, and listening to since the start of the COVID-19 crisis. Editor Larry Clark’s selections include Lisa Goldstein’s IVORY APPLES.
I enjoy a good novel about fiction becoming reality, and obsession. Goldstein’s words are gripping and, at times, terrifying.
If you’re looking for any techno-horror you should check out SLIPPING by Lauren Beukes. Not all of the stories are sci-fi based, but a good number are. I was particularly unsettled by the story of futuristic patchwork athletes who are engineered beyond the peak of human performance.
We’ve partnered with Humble Bundle for the Supermassive Sci-fi, Fantasy, & Horror bundle with award-winning, acclaimed books from Kage Baker, Lauren Beukes, Marie Brennan, Ellen Datlow, Daryl Gregory, Kameron Hurley, Caitlín R. Kiernan, Nancy Kress, R. B. Lemberg, Patricia A. McKillip, Michael Moorcock, James Morrow, Daniel Pinkwater, Tim Powers, Mary Shelley, Nancy Springer, Bruce Sterling, Lavie Tidhar, Kimberly Unger, Jeff VanderMeer, Carrie Vaughn, Jo Walton, Peter Watts, Jane Yolen, and many more.
This is a collection of Beukes’ shorter works and like most short story collections there are the ones that grabbed me and the ones that didn’t. Thankfully the hits vastly out number the misses. A lot of the stories focus on the theme of commodification – of bodies, of the poor, of women. A lot of them are harrowing. Hits include The Green and the titular story.
Don’t skip the non-fiction section, especially if you’ve read her previous novels, there’s some interesting reflections on her research for Shining Girls and Zoo City. 4/5
Were you a fan of The Last Unicorn book/comic/movie? If you were, you should totally check out Beagle’s 2017 unicorn book. An Italian farmer, Claudio Bianchi, starts noticing a pregnant unicorn visiting his farm. An aloof man, he decides to ignore it, but finds out the unicorn might have come to him for help.
The winter holidays are also the ideal respite that allows you to plan your next summer vacation. For many, Calabria is an attractive destination. It is no coincidence that they will be attracted by the title of the novel IN CALABRIA. This novel combines inspired picturesqueness, the suspense of gangster movies, love and magical realism.
For The New York Times, Stephen King praises Lauren Beukes’s “splendid” new thriller Afterland.
The flap copy on my advance edition declares that “Afterland” is a “high-concept feminist thriller that Lauren Beukes fans have been waiting for.” It is a thriller, I grant you that, and feminist in the sense that most of the men have been erased by a flu virus that develops into prostate cancer, but Beukes is too wise and story-oriented to wham away at ideas that have been thoroughly explored, sometimes at tedious length, on cable news and social media. She lets her tale do the talking, and the results are quite splendid.
