RIVER OF BONES AND OTHER STORIES by Rebecca Roanhorse

As I read the new collection RIVER OF BONES by @rebeccaroanhorse.bsky.social, I couldn't help but feel this brought Twilight Zone to the Reservation, adding some color to the old black & white series.

Paradox Bound Check out this great listen on Audible.com. Nothing ever changes in Sanders. The town's still got a video store, for God's sake. So why doesn't Eli Teague want to leave? Not that he'd ever admit it,...

If you wanted some more @realrayporter.bsky.social in your life, word on the street is that PARADOX BOUND is on sale (just $7.99) right now at Audible.

Book Review: Sentient by Michael Nayak An intense tale of survival against not just Antarctica's brutal elements, but a sentient microbe's attack too. Add to it some terrifyingly plausible real-world politics, and you have one hell of a story. Read the full review at FanFiAddict.com

Perhaps the real winners are all of us for the books we read along the way.

Boy, With Accidental Dinosaur by Ian McDonald

BOY, WITH ACCIDENTAL DINOSAUR has some interesting themes and ideas that seem to float through its pages, but ultimately I struggled to connect with it. Check out my review for the novella, which releases next month:

This is a goddamned outrage. ICE is boasting about blatantly defying the Fourth Amendment rights of thousands of people. ICE is not a law-enforcement entity — it's a criminal terror organization and a federal ethnic-cleansing murder squad. ABOLISH ICE.

AFTER THE FALL by Edward Ashton

AFTER THE FALL by @edashtonwriting.bsky.social is a delightfully humorous post-apocalyptic alien story that made me say, "I, for one, welcome our new Gray overlords."
I enjoyed the latest from the MICKEY 7 author. Here's my review:

I, Medusa by Ayana Gray

I, MEDUSA by @ayanagray.bsky.social is a compelling, tragic take on the ancient Greek myth. Gray's re-imagining paints Medusa as a "victim of power, abuse, and those that enable that abuse." My review: fanfiaddict.com/review-i-med...

The Happiness Collector by Crystal King
