A nimbly constructed story that starkly explores the dangers of neuroscience run amok. With shades of Philip K. Dick, a dystopian novel that probes the darker corners of the mind. Stanley Webb is in a bad way, as so many of his age: He’s in a memory ward, sinking into dementia, leaving his wife to tend single-handedly to a house that’s too large for her.

It's a new year, and that means it's time to look forward to all the fantasy and science fiction books coming out in the next 12 months. Here are 16 books that we're dying to read in 2025:January is officially underway, and the previous year is fading in the rearview. It's going to be an interesting year ahead to say the least...but one thing we can count on, even in strange times, is that more books will come along to transport us to imaginative dreamscapes and far-off worlds.

We know the movie is helmed by Oscar-winning director Bong Joon-ho (of Parasite, Snowpiercer, The Host; you know this, we won't elaborate).

So until we see Robert Pattinson as clones, you now have some time to catch up on the book it was based on (Mickey7, in this case, by Edward Ashton).

In the past few weeks, this newsletter has gotten a lot of new subscribers. Firstly, hello! Thanks for checking out this newsletter on craft tips, publishing gossip, and weird books. Secondly, apologies in advance for a self-promotion post. As the year winds down, I like to write a round-up on what I published this year both on Counter Craft and elsewhere as much for my own memory as anything else.
