Book 1 of 2025: Uncanny Magazine Issue 62, edited by Lynne M. Thomas, Michael Damian Thomas, Monte Lin, and Betsy Aoki. ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Favorites this month were “Kaiju Agonistes” by Scott Lynch, a hilarious take on kaiju stories, and “Six People to Revise You” by J.R. Dawson, which was perhaps a bit predictable, but very nice.

This issue I really enjoyed Mary Robinette Kowal‘s “Marginalia” and Alex Jennings‘s “Lest We Become Posessed”, a review of Out There Screaming: An Anthology of New Black Horror, co-edited by Jordan Peele and John Joseph Adams, which has been added to my “keep an eye out for” list.

My favorites this issue were Naomi Kritzer’s “The Year Without Sunshine”, Cecil Castelluci’s “We’re Looking for the Best”, and John Scalzi’s “Speed Racer’s Long Road”, which actually has me thinking about rewatching Speed Racer, which I haven’t seen since it first hit video.
