The new books are here

By Nick Mamatas July 08, 2010

Out this month: Harmony This one I am quite hot about. It's a social satire about a grim meathook future of universal healthcare and pink tanks. One of those horrific utopias people often confuse with dystopia, and then things get a whole lot worse better worse. In September: Ever hear people complain about how there is no SF—not fantasy, but SF for girls—and how are they supposed to want to grow up to be astronauts and engineers and li'l toughies and whatnot? Well, BAM! Rocket Girls. And just in time for Halloween... Summer, Fireworks, and My Corpse! Shirley Jackson-award nominee Otsuichi is back with two (two!) novels in one volume. (Well, one is probably a novella, but in Japan it was a novel!) Bonus novelette as well. And then in November, for the slide-rule set... The Ouroboros Wave Hard SF about a poor little cute'n'innocent black hole and the humans who build a new society around it. Anyway, check 'em out when you have a chance. We have excerpts and whatnot up.
