This is a fantastic collection from a fantastic author, dipping in and out of fantasy, sci-fi and horror to give a broad range of tales. In her introduction, Jemisin herself admits the stories chronicle her development as a writer and activist, how she evolved and how some of the stories are talking back to the so-called ‘greats’ of sci-fi. If you haven’t read any Jemisin yet, this collection serves as a good introduction, but I also highly recommend The Broken Earth trilogy, and will shout about how amazing it is until the end of time.īack to How Long ‘til Black Future Month?. These stories span 14 years of Jemisin’s career, with the earliest (“Too Many Yesterdays , Not Enough Tomorrows”) published in 2004, and the latest (“The Ones Who Stay and Fight”) in 2018.

Alicia’s Regency romances have a great deal of silliness, but without a lot of raunch. She is not to be confused with the other author named Alicia Cameron, who writes some pretty raunchy things. Her interest in the crime genre most likely started with the horrible kleptomania in her family, stealing books from one another’s shelves. She enjoys both the romance and the Regency period, but particuarly the wit of these authors. Alicia Cameron is a crime writer that has another indulgence: she has always enjoyed Georgette Heyer and Jane Austen. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() When Murderbot’s human associates (not friends, never friends) are captured and another not-friend from its past requires urgent assistance, Murderbot must choose between inertia and drastic action. ![]() ― I’m usually alone in my head, and that’s where 90 plus percent of my problems are. ![]() Come for the pew-pew space battles, stay for the most relatable A.I.
