Synopsis Becky Chambers’ delightful, post-Utopian, Hugo Award-winning series gives us hope for the future.

Cover Reveal – In Deep Corprolite (Shade the Collector #2) by Douglas Lumsden
Douglas Lumsden is the author of the brilliant (in my opinion) Alexander Southerland series which consists of seven books plus the sharp and gloriously nasty novella The Demon’s Dagger which is set in the same world. That series came to an end with the seventh book A Specter Raps on My Windowpane. He has now […]
