Infinity War is coming, Infinity War is coming! To say that some of us are excited would be an understatement. With this in mind, I asked our contributors something simple: who’s your favorite superhero? It doesn’t have to be one of the obvious heroes. I humbly submit that Buffy Summers is a superhero, for example. We’re most definitely not limited…

Spoonbenders (2017) Written by: Daryl Gregory Genre: Fantasy Pages: 416 (Hardcover) Publisher: Knopf Why I Chose It: Somehow I have this idea that I love Daryl Gregory’s writing, but I’m not sure what that is based on. Looking at his bibliography makes me realize I’ve only read one of his many previous books: Harrison Squared. He’s been on my radar…

After last year’s successful resolution, I decided to dip my toes into a new-to-me spec-fic area — podcasts. The rules for 2018: I will listen to twelve spec-fic oriented podcasts, one per month.

Bone Music (2018) Written by: Christopher Rice Genre: Science Fiction Pages: 455 (Kindle) Publisher: Thomas & Mercer Why I Chose It: Bone Music was part of the Kindle First Read selection for February, and it looked interesting.

The Wrong Stars (2017) Written by: Tim Pratt Genre: Science Fiction Pages: 400 (Kindle) Series: Axiom Book One Publisher: Angry Robot Why I Chose It: Tim Pratt is one of those writers whose books I pick up at random, though I always pay attention when he releases a new one. His books entertain me, but they’re not always must reads.…

After last year’s successful resolution (pretty much a first for me!), I decided to dip my toes into a spec-fic area I barely even know exists — podcasts. The rules for 2018: I will listen to twelve spec-fic oriented podcasts, one per month. For each podcast, I will listen to a minimum of five episodes per podcast before I either…

It’s no secret that there’s a bunch a readers here at Speculative Chic. Asking our writers what their favorite read of 2017 seemed like an easy task, but it wasn’t. When you read as many books as we do, how do you pick just one? And did it have to be a book published in 2017, or just a book…
