					<description><![CDATA[I only discovered Becky Chambers at the beginning of the year from her Wayfarer series, and I felt like I had struck a gold mine. I immediately devoured the entire series and her Monk and Robot novellas, completely drawn in by her beautifully-built worlds, emotional story-telling and wholesome relationships that the characters develop. While I&#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Fear is the driving emotion of many a horror novel, but what form does that fear take? Christina Henry has explored the many forms of fear in her horror novels, but Pinfeathers explores a fear so acute, so sharp, a fear that nearly half the population deals with it in some form – the fear&#8230;]]></description>

And my brother and I were alchemists, magicians. … Paloma, in The Shoemaker’s Magician &#160; The Shoemaker’s Magician, second of her Chicago novels after The Children of Chicago (reviewed here), taps into one of my favorite tropes: cursed films.
