The world outside: Non-Stop (1958) by Brian Aldiss A classic showcase of conceptual breakthroughs

Brian Aldiss was born 100 years ago today, on 18 August 1925. Recently, I wrote about his debut SF novel, the generation starship classic Non-Stop (1958).

Reposting for friends across the pond

The Immeasurable Heaven has been out one month today, and I wanted to say a huge thank you for the support & love my weird tale from another galaxy has had so far.

Another fun Extreme Wildcard Worldbuilding Workshop last night with the @rookeryp.bsky.social , taught from my boiling hot spare room. Some good notes, including ‘space sepsis’, ‘accidentally horny’, and (my personal favourite) ‘what happens if it farts’.

This is the most dangerous shade your brush water can be.

Thanks for having me guys, always fun to chat and your group came up with some great stuff!

Two very different novels on the go, notebooks piling up, eyelid twitching, shoulder blades buggered, neck strained, fingers spasming, brain fried - still my favourite thing to do

My son found a moldy Louis Theroux mask underneath his floorboards. He gently put it back for future generations to discover. I hope this isn't a talisman for some kind of curse on his student digs.

From the Sunday Times bestselling author of The Book Eaters comes a dark fantasy set in a historical Hong Kong that combines ancient myths and local legends into a haunting story of ghosts, grief, and women who will not forgive. When Mercy Chan washed up on the shores of Hong Kong with no family, no money, and no memories, she was thrust into the horrors of World War II. She survived by hiding in Kowloon Walled City, an infamous, ghost-infested slum full of lost and traumatised civilians. Since the end of the war, she has rebuilt her life and found work with the local triad as a ghost-talker, dealing with the angry and bitter spirits who haunt this place. These days, the alleyways of Kowloon feel like home. But the past she can’t remember won’t let her go. An unusually powerful ghost has infested Kowloon’s waterways, drowning innocents and threatening the district. Unnervingly, it claims to know Mercy—and her forgotten childhood. As Mercy is drawn into a deadly cat-and-mouse game with this malignant spirit, she begins to realize that the monster she fights within these walls may well be one of her own making. Thirty-three years before, mere days ahead of the Japanese invasion, Sung Siu Yin and her mother flee Hong Kong, intending to hide out on her mother's ancestral island home. It’s beautiful, tranquil, and remote… but also inhabited by ghosts ever since the entire village drowned in a storm many years ago. Still, it’s better than living under occupation. But as the war drags on and isolation sets in, Siu Yin is increasingly drawn into the island's grim past—a past that may still have a hold on the present. There is a darkness lurking beneath that idyllic ocean, and it has been waiting many years for someone to return.

I will never get tired of that “cover to be revealed” graphic, it’s unreasonably exciting and mysterious.

UK reviewers, if you’d love an arc, please reach out! Priority for physical and audio will be given to folks who have accessibility needs for certain formats ❤️

Review: For The Road by Stark Holborn | FanFiAddict Synopsis In the desert is a railroad track made from iron and bone, and on the track is a station where the signal is broken and the train never comes…&nbsp ...

With FOR THE ROAD, @starkholborn.bsky.social “proves yet again why she’s the reigning queen of the weird west. She’s delivered a fast-paced fever-dream of an acid western, bristling with tension and brimming with intrigue.”
