Saw a fallen titan after pilates today :/ If you passed it too, Matthew MacDonald's "How to Deal with Fallen Gods" has some answers:

Before there were dragon romantasies or dystopian love triangles, there was paranormal romance. Jeaniene Frost's iconic Night Huntress and Night Prince series set the standard for vampire romance and urban fantasy – @lmanusos.bsky.social maps out where to start!

Six women, lab-designed to serve billionaires in a luxury fallout shelter, rebel against their programming after the end times arrive... We're thrilled to share an excerpt from The Felicity Complex, a satirical dystopian novel from Metal From Heaven author @sapphomancer.bsky.social!

Shay Kauwe's The Killing Spell is the first adult Hawaiian urban fantasy novel: a linguistic murder mystery Mahvesh Murad declares is at its best when investigating "power, racism and cultural erasure via limits placed on language."

Blockbuster season has arrived, and it's bringing new Spider-Man, dystopian cities, and a really, really long drive home:

The third movie in the original PLANET OF THE APES series, ESCAPE FROM THE PLANET OF THE APES, pulls more from the original source novel by Pierre Boulle than you might think, as I wrote at @reactorsff.bsky.social: reactormag.com/why-a-planet...

Read my explainer/review for the latest episode of HotD! Comment, share, all the normal things! reactormag.com/tv-review-ho...

loved loved LOVED Avalon Fast's Camp! It's a reminder of how special and weird indie films can be, and I encourage you to see it in theaters if you can.

Ama Ofosua Lieb's new YA series is "a little near-future science fiction, a little urban fantasy, a little West African folklore, and a little romance." For @bookjockeyalex.bsky.social, it's a propulsive tale that plays with non-traditional formatting:

More Backrooms 4 ur buck:

"Avalon Fast has created a movie that feels like stumbling into a fairy ring." @leahschnelbach.bsky.social reviews Camp, a vibrant, witchy exploration of female friendship that diverges from the coming-of-age formula:

I am not sold on Devil's Minion or Gabriella just yet, but I am very much enjoying thinking about what the show is doing—or intentionally not doing—with them, and I would really, really like to talk about those four words that made me shriek upon first hearing!!!!

Devil's Minion enthusiasts, your time is NOW. @mollytempleton.com reviews episode four of The Vampire Lestat (and the messiness of Gabriella):

X-Men '97 and Strange New Worlds return!! Plus the summer anime season!! Here's all the science fiction, fantasy, and horror TV coming out in July:

The shortlist for the 2026 Ursula K. Le Guin Prize for Fiction has been announced! Congratulations to everyone!!!

"The rise and fall of the Centauri Republic over the course of five seasons has absolutely been the best through-line of the series." S5e18 completes the Babylon 5 Centauri storyline, and it's an excellent ending for a nuanced and complicated plot. Let's discuss "The Fall of Centauri Prime"!

STARLOG returns!!!

The second episode of S3 offers up some huge twists and turns, as assassinations and executions follow in the wake of two epic battles and Rhaenyra and Alicent face an uncertain future–plus prophetic visions and weird new songs! #HOTD

Long before it was traumatizing children, Watership Down began as a series of stories Richard Adams told his daughters on car rides. Judith Tarr contextualizes the novel as a classical epic, drawing inspiration from both the natural world and Latin poetry 🐇

No little German boy! Don't go into that cave! It's full of Werwulfspellen!

Corporate culture can get pretty weird and toxic in the real world, so it's no surprise that the world of weird fiction features some truly horrifying places to work; here are 7 of the very worst, from soul-crushing monopolies to evil eldritch offices!

Pretty incredible to stumble upon TELL ME YOURS, I’LL TELL YOU MINE in @reactorsff.bsky.social’s “What to Watch and Read This Weekend.” We are the titular “haunted short stories” 🥰👻 Thanks, @mollytempleton.com! reactormag.com/what-to-read...

New review in my biweekly column Found in Translation:

You know what's a cool message to give little girls right now? That they'd be somehow forever ruined if they chose to take revenge on men who kill their whole families and want to keep them as breeding stock! This is in no way an exaggeration of what the film's hero says, outright, to a 13yo.

By straying from the original comics, Supergirl fails to become its own movie and fumbles its revenge narrative. For @use-theforce-em.bsky.social, it's a bad sign for the DCU:

Lauren Palphreyman’s romantasy series The Wolf King is headed to Starz!

We officially know what Louis de Pointe du Lac smells like:

"Time had become a fickle and unstable thing; it drifted through his fingers like the remnants of a bad dream." We’re thrilled to share an excerpt from Ruinous Ends by I.V. Marie, the 2nd book in the Souls of Blackwood Academy trilogy, out w/Delacorte Press on 7/14! reactormag.com/excerpts-rui...
