I kind of needed something lighter to rinse my brain after reading a ton of serious stuff, and this really hits the spot. I am something like 5-6 stories in and this book really does all kinds of things, from creepy to gory, from comedy to social commentary.

HA asked me to post Brockaway’s Patreon in case you want to get the book on Kindle for $4 and still feel the need to throw a little extra to the author, so here it is: https://www.patreon.com/brockwar

I really appreciate the fact Brockaway just wrote an American novel instead of inserting unnecessary Emmerich-style scenes of the Eiffel Tower on fire or whatever to make the story feel global.

I have a few ideas. Hard to be a God by the Strugatsky brothers is a cool twist on the fantasy genre, with undercover astronauts from Earth living on a planet with a medieval level of culture and technology. It’s also very bleak, and should be widely available.

Or we could try reading RA Lafferty’s Fourth Mansions:

quote:

The Wesleyan Anthology of Science Fiction described Fourth Mansions as "a cartoonishly oneiric conflict between cosmic good and evil that draws on the mystic visions of Saint Theresa of Avila".
