This Gilded Abyss is Rebecca Thorne’s F/F lovers-to-enemies(-to-lovers) letter to Bioshock—this isn’t me being snarky, the dedication is “For everyone who fought for their lives in Rapture.” In this case, the Rapture analogue is Fall, a domed city at the bottom of the ocean, only reachable by the immense submersible Luminosity at the end ofRead More

A Cozy Queer Mystery in Space: Nobody’s Baby by Olivia Waite Review
Considering my positive reviews of Olivia Waite’s historical romances and Malka Older’s sci-fi mystery novellas, it should be no surprise that I am enjoying Olivia Waite’s own sci-fi mystery novellas, the Dorothy Gentleman series.

Sapphics in Space: Moss’d in Space by Rebecca Thorne
Rebecca Thorne’s Moss’d in Space came out in late June and I read it on a whim. I’m not usually one for space sci-fi, but after a rewatch of CW’s Supergirl (2015) I was feeling the absence of yearning sapphics in space. And find them, I did. Moss’d in Space follows Torian as she spends her life savings onRead More
