Speculative Reader

Speculative Reader is for lovers of science fiction, speculative fiction, slipstream, magical realism, weird, fantasy and even the odd detective story. I may even talk about my own writing from time to time.

I’m presently making my way through these SF anthologies centered in Japan, China and South Korea. I’ll do a deep-dive video at some point in the future.
