Gage Chandler has had one great success as a true crime writer, along with a shelf full of books that weren’t really hits. The world’s greatest mountain goat returns with a new book! This one probably isn’t technically ”SFF” but it is a genre-bending story about the Satanic Panic, so I wanted to give it a spot. Onyebuchi tells the story through a variety of eyes and voices, from street-level laborers trying to rebuild Earth’s former glory to the journalist trying to cover the exodus as it happens, and one of the space-dwellers who wants to save their depressive lover with memories of life in Connecticut.
The remaining Earthers have become gleaners, sifting through the detritus to try to survive-even as the space-dwellers strip Earth for parts, recreating neighborhoods in retro-Earths.
By the 2050s, Earth’s infrastructure teeters on the edge of collapse and the rich and privileged have feld to space. World Fantasy Award-winner Tochi Onyebuchi returns with his adult novel debut, an epic work of science fiction that melds Biblicale with space colonization. And the mission? A simple matter of leaving their home country, trekking across a frozen desert, and attempting to find a god in hiding in the hopes that it can thwart the end of the world. Now the pregnant Celestia has to yank her sister out of school so the two can go on a mission. The downside becomes apparent five years later when the river goddess calls in their favor. The good thing about asking for a favor from the Lady of the Seraphine is that she can deliver: the orphaned De Malena sisters are swiftly granted the boon they ask for, with Celestia matched up with a wealthy husband, and Izara off to the academy to study magic. She gathers a group of allies and hits the road with three goals: stay ahead of the Highking’s minions, find the man who might be her father, and, if at all possible, avert the deadly Moonfall of her vision. Even worse, Highking Toranth ry Massif wants to imprison Nyx to be a bloodbag for his physicians. Unfortunately, they also give her a vision of the apocalypse. She’s nearly blind, until she attacked by venomous Myr bats and is astonished to realize that their poisonous bites have restored her sight. Nyx is a student at the Cloistery of Brayk. These books include but are not limited to: humans caring for endangered Kaiju! A god on the run! Multiple books about witches fighting the system! Multiple century-spanning tales of loss and redemption! A cosmic Biblical update! A story of magical maps, and a story of magical shadows! And many, many more! It has been so much fun rounding up stuff to recommend and working with Dan Sheehan and Katie Yee-so much fun, in fact, that I’m going out with a bang by recommending 17 new titles that are going to hit shelves in 2022. This is a bittersweet list! I’m excited to talk about all these titles, but this will also be my last SFF book list for Book Marks.
