A few of my favorite passages (so far) from Gene Wolfe’s Book of the New Sun.

I can safely say that Wolfe’s novels are unlike anything else I’ve ever read, sci-fi or otherwise.

Christians have often been guilty of promoting and encouraging art that denies the complexities of human existence.

A rousing, strongly principled adventure story that I would’ve loved to read back in 5th grade (but I still enjoyed it as an adult).

Chakraborty’s novel finds inspiration in Islamic and Middle-Eastern religion and culture for its exotic world-building.

Tsutomu Nihei’s manga masterpiece is a journey through a bizarre world filled with nightmarish technology run amok.

On its surface, Black Science feels like an homage to classic and pulp sci-fi.

A brilliant modern fantasy that weaves in various genre tropes without ever feeling like a mere fantasy novel.

Aposimz contains plenty of Nihei trademarks plus a few tweaks​ that give it some unique flavor, too.

Vertical Comics’ excellent reprint captures all of the engrossing and unsettling detail in Nihei’s intricate artwork.

It’s refreshing to read about a fantasy hero who has no desire to be a hero, but rather, wants only to live humbly and quietly.

There are hundreds of illustrations throughout Pyle’s novels, and even the smallest and simplest are beautiful for their elegant, refined style.

There’s more to a biblical translation than meets the eye.
