Les Normaux: A Graphic Novel

This first volume in a print edition of a popular, long-running webcomic will become a favorite for fans of Alice Oseman’s Heartstopper and Jasmine Walls’s Brooms.

Bat Eater and Other Names for Cora Zeng

YA author Baker (The Blood Orchid) writes an adult debut that frightens to the bone, deftly illustrating trauma and paranoia in aching prose and with perfectly timed grim humor. Those who enjoyed Monika Kim’s The Eyes Are the Best Part and fans of Erika T. Wurth, Gretchen Felker-Martin, and Stephen Graham Jones won’t want to miss it.

It Must Be Beautiful To Be Finished: A Memoir of My Body

Gies has written a standout, poignant, and much-needed look into what many disabled children are forced to deal with (often against their will or consent) and the ways it affects their mental health and wellbeing for their entire lives. It’s sure to appeal to readers of the work of Alice Wong and other disability rights’ activists.

'The Adventures of Mary Darling' by Pat Murphy | SFF Pick of the Month

'Say You’ll Remember Me' by Abby Jimenez | Romance Pick of the Month

'A Fashionably French Murder' by Colleen Cambridge | Mystery Pick of the Month

Idolfire

The slow burn of the sapphic romance and the inch-by-inch growth of a relationship from contempt to reliance to love make this a story to savor, while the epic walking tour of the dead empire blends ancient history with fantasy in ways that will remind readers of Guy Gavriel Kay’s epic historical fantasy. Highly recommended for epic romantasy and historical fantasy fans who love a slow burn and the bitterest of bittersweet endings.

The Adventures of Mary Darling

Mary’s story is a dangerous and delightful adventure that turns the bigotry and misogyny of Victorian England on its head as she takes charge of her own life and rescues everyone with the help of her friends. Murphy’s (Women Up to No Good) latest is highly recommended for readers caught up in the recent trend of feminist retellings of well-known tales.
