Book 1 only for all of these.

Humans are weird, I have the data by Betty Adams

Clean Sweep by Illona Andrews . This is a complicated one genre wise, because there are vampires and werewolves and witches, but they're from alien planets, werewolves are the result of genetic modification, vampires have advanced tech, etc. So fantasy would make sense too?

Cluster by Piers Anthony

Proxima by stephen baxter

Prime Suspects: A Clone Detective Mystery by Jim Bernheimer

The Atlas Six by Olivie Blake

Nova Express William Burroughs,

Famous Men Who Never Lived by K Chess

Stories of Your Life and Others by Ted Chiang

The Supernaturalist by Eoin Colfer

Reset by Sarina Dahlan

Omnitopia dawn by Diane Duane

The Dreaming Void by peter Hamilton

Valor's Choice (Huff, Tanya)

Eye to Eye (Jinks, Catherine)

Revan (Karpyshyn, Drew)

Babel (Kuang, R.F.)

The Wandering Earth (Liu, Cixin)

The Merchant of Death (MacHale, D.J.)

Maybe Next Time (Major, Cesca)

The Host (Meyer, Stephenie)

Cloud Atlas (Mitchell, David)

Wild Massive (Moore, Scotto)

Nyxia (Reintgen, Scott )

Revelation Space (Reynolds, Alastair)

Robots vs. Fairies (Parisien, Dominik)

We Are Legion (We Are Bob) (Taylor, Dennis E.)

Spin (Wilson, Robert Charles)

Artifice (Woolfson, Alex)

Androne (Worrell, Dwain)

hello! many of these are queued.

the following are in formats or genres that I’m not currently accepting for this blog:

Ted Chiang’s Stories of Your Life and Others is a collection of (very good) non-linked short fiction.

R.F. Kuang’s Babel is fantasy.

Robots vs. Fairies (ed. Parisien and Wolfe) is a collection of non-linked short fiction.

Alex Woolfson’s Artifice is a graphic novel.

and I had questions about the following:

Olivia Blake’s The Atlas Six appears to be fantasy — is there something in later books that would make it science fiction?

William S. Burroughs, Nova Express — you said book 1 only, but Nova Express is book 2 of The Nova Trilogy. did you want Nova Express specifically or did you want book 1, The Soft Machine?

Liu Cixin, The Wandering Earth — this appears to be the title of a short fiction collection containing the title story. has the story itself been published in standalone format (outside of a magazine/similar)? if so, could you or someone else point me towards it?

D.J. MacHale, The Merchant of Death — while parallel worlds are integral to the Pendragon books, my impression is that the handling of them (and of travel between them) is primarily fantastic rather than scientific/science-fictional. could you, or someone else, clarify the extent of the science fiction aspects of the series?

Thank you very much for Phantoms of the Midway! I borrowed the audiobook of The Mythic Dream from my library for something to crochet along to, and very much enjoyed it! I want to gush about every detail, but I can't because people who haven't read it follow you. Just know that you have made at least one person's heart very happy with it!

(For others reading who may be inspired to go seek it out, Phantoms of the Midway was collected in The Mythic Dream, an anthology edited by Dominik Parisien and Navah Wolfe.)

I am very glad to have made you happy! Thank you so much for reading!

I'm sorry for always coming up with annoying questions but need book recs and you're the only one i know who loves reading so....

You're not annoying at all!!! The most recent books I read and enjoyed were Prelude to Bruise by Saeed Jones, Robots Vs. Fairies edited by Dominik Parisien and All Systems Red by Martha Wells. If you like horror I really enjoyed My Best Friend's Exorcism by Grady Hendrix – I would really recommend that it was very fun!!

Posted a review of Robots Vs Fairies edited by Dominik Parisien and Navah Wolfe on my blog. Read it here.

tl;dr – A fair bit of fun

“Pain By Any Other Name” by Domiik Parisien

Let us for a moment call this pain by other words Ask, how many roses does the hammer weigh when it bears down on your skull? Does the sword seem toothed like a toddler's smile or sharp as your first iced skates? On a scale of anglerfish to northern lights how bright are the flashes in your head? When I touch this, here, which constellations light the sky behind your eyes? Would you say that pulsing is the flicker of a satellite or the stubborn heartbeat of a newborn chick? Ask, can we for a moment make of beauty the measure of our pain? And I will answer 

--from the collection Side Effects May Include Strangers

#Dominik Parisien #my new #poetry obsession--mostly because all his work centers around either #disability #or #queer stuff #the metaphors in this! I sat in on this insanely brilliant poetry convo tonight and one of the professors and I were talking about the ways #in which. both in this piece. and in the collection as a whole (a whole meditation beginning from the premise of this question and #attempting. through multiple lenses. to answer it). beauty becomes this factor to try and apprehend pain. to prison it and pull out its #sting as means of making it bearable. and honestly. that's the thing that all marginalized folk are trying to do. but especially those #of us suffering both from external aggressions and the betrayal of our bodies: to fill our lives with enough joy to counteract the pain and #limitation

Dominik Parisien: Survival Is Sinking

niece with a peach following four minutes of Planet Earth

 nails & plastic cutlery

cut & stab & tear

the skin

 at three she has teeth

like a beast & the instinct

to mutilate

 understands implicitly she

is a predator at the dinner table

& survival is sinking

 herself tooth & nail &

plastic tools deep

into fuzzy little things

Dominik Parisien's work can be found in places such as The Fiddlehead, Uncanny Magazine, Plenitude, Strange Horizons, as well as other magazines and anthologies. He is the co-editor, with Navah Wolfe, of The Starlit Wood: New Fairy Tales, which won the Shirley Jackson Award, as well as other anthologies. His latest project is Disabled People Destroy Science Fiction, with Elsa Sjunneson-Henry.
