REALMS & ROMANCE – FICTION
ROMINA GARBER’s Castle of the Cursed follows a girl’s supernatural path after her parents’ mysterious deaths. Suffering from survivor’s guilt, she goes to live with her estranged aunt at an ancestral Spanish castle that harbors a trove of family secrets. When she meets a silver-eyed boy that only she can see, they grudgingly team up to find answers, igniting an investigation – and romance. In MARY E. PEARSON’s The Courting of Bristol Keats: A Novel, Bristol and her sisters struggle mightily after losing their parents. Then, an “aunt” they’ve never heard of promises she can help – and suddenly everything Bristol thought she knew about her family is a lie. Her father might even be alive – not killed, but taken by terrifying creatures to another realm. NATASHA PULLEY’s queer sci-fi story The Mars House: A Novel, January, once a principal in London’s Royal Ballet, has become a refugee in a terraformed colony on Mars. There, his life is dictated by his second-class status as an Earthstronger – a person whose body is not adjusted to lower gravity – and the xenophobic politics at play.
