Sci-Fi overload with Gizmodo (ft Afterland!)

Afterland is coming out in the US at the same time as so many other great sci-fi and fantasy titles. Gizmodo rounded up some of their favourites, and I’m so happy that they included Afterland, together with A Peculiar Peril by longtime favourite, Jeff VanderMeer, and more! Cheryl Eddy writes: After a pandemic kills most of the […]
