The Sentence and Secondary World Science Fiction
… Although it is cumbersome to obtain at the time of writing (it is only currently published in India), if the idea of a SF legal thriller that turns on questions of sociology and society in a secondary world thrills you, The Sentence is definitely worth your time.
Bedtime Stories: The Night Monster
Bedtime Stories highlights Children’s Books with a diverse, global perspective. Every night, when the owl hoots and the shadows of the trees dance on the walls, the Night Monster creeps into Avi’s room and frightens him. One day, his sister suggests he write a letter to the monster, and Avi’s nights are not the same anymore. The Night Monster, released in the US in September of 2018 by Karadi Tales, a publishing company based in India, is beautifully written by Sushree Mishra and illustrated by Sanket Pethkar. I only wish I had a physical copy get the full measure of this wonderful story that explores fear and how you can conquer it, especially with loved ones lending a helping hand.
