Surface Detail
Ah, space hell!
Consider Phlebas
Diving into the space opera. This definitely ended in a way I didn’t expect.
Negative Space
What a weird fucking novel.
Titanium Noir
Good mix of hard-boiled and speculative fiction.
Red Moon
This felt like a very realistic breakdown of how poorly colonization might go, and just how hostile Mars is to life.
Ghost Station
Really loving these space horror books.
A Haunting on the Hill
Spooky! A weird little update on the classic.
Pilgrim Machines
Philosophical take on exploration and galactic civilization. Felt like a more upbeat and optimistic Three Body.
Orbital
A little too florid for my tastes—read more like poetry about space than a space novel.
The Last
The best post-apocalyptic fiction I’ve read in a long time. Somehow both realistic and hopeful.
My Murder
A very strange, unique thriller. Much better than my initial worry it was a bad murder podcast book.
Unraveling
Cool Caribbean fantasy all about labyrinths, immortality, and self-knowledge.
