Sci-Fi/Fantasy Picks: Book Recs

Tower of Mud and Straw by Yaroslav Barsukov

THE QUEEN RUINED HIS LIFE. HE WOULD DO ANYTHING TO RECLAIM IT... OR SO HE THOUGHT. Minister Shea Ashcroft refuses the queen's order to gas a crowd of protesters. After riots cripple the capital, he's banished to the border to oversee the construction of the biggest anti-airship tower in history. The use of otherworldly technology makes the tower volatile and dangerous; Shea has to fight the local hierarchy to ensure the construction succeeds—and to reclaim his own life. He must survive an assassination attempt, find love, confront the place in his memory he'd rather erase, encounter an ancient legend, travel to the origin of a species—and through it all, stay true to his own principles. Climbing back to the top is a slippery slope, and somewhere along the way, one is bound to fall.

Elemental by Whitney Hill

Enter an urban fantasy world where elves, vampires, weres, djinn, and others maintain a precarious balance of power in North Carolina. Welcome to Otherside. Private investigator and sylph Arden Finch is determined to come out of the shadows and practice her forbidden magic. There's just one problem: the elves have a bounty on elementals like her. When an elf hires Arden without realizing what she is, she seizes the chance to gain leverage in the dangerous world of Otherside⁠-even if it means risking exposure. But as the case grows more perilous, Arden draws the attention of the region's deadliest power players.

Skybound by Lou Iovino

What would happen if the Earth stopped spinning? Half the world would become trapped in endless night, the other half in relentless day. Global communications would be crippled. The oceans would migrate to the Earth’s magnetic poles, and global tremors would threaten the stability of the entire planet. In other words, things would be bad. Very bad. That’s what happens in SKYBOUND. And the clock is ticking. The world is in chaos. Theories about the impossible phenomenon run the gamut from broken physics to little green men to the dawning of the end times. But everyone agrees on one thing: The massive metallic object that suddenly appeared in the sky is to blame. In his debut novel, Lou Iovino weaves a modern-day fable that traces the path of two small-town siblings who find themselves thrust into events that will reshape humanity, and grappling with the question that has plagued mankind for eons. What’s up there?

Hourglass by Daniel James

Clyde Williams just wanted to draw comic books. Life and death have other plans. Brooklyn-born artist Clyde Williams has spent his life obsessing over comic books and chasing his big dream to one day break into the industry as a hot new artist. But chasing the dream isn’t easy. It’s tiring, dispiriting work. And that was before the ghost of his recently murdered best friend and roommate, Kev Carpenter, showed up at their apartment. Shocked and confused, the pair have been trying to establish some sense of their old status quo, of normality, but normality left town and isn’t coming back. Instead, they get a knock at their front door. Rose Hadfield, agent of Hourglass, has some understanding of what it’s like to commune with the dead, living with the ghosts of her former military unit, and offers them the choice to educate themselves and train their abilities, or remain under Hourglass’ scrutiny in the name of public safety. Clyde’s long-held distrust of all things military and federal, has him prepared to decline Rose’s offer. Kev, however, has other ideas. Being restless and detached from the world, he sees this as his only real option. A purpose. Wracked with sympathy for his best friend’s plight, Clyde accepts Rose’s offer on one condition: upon completion of his training, he will remain a civilian. A fair compromise. Unbeknownst to Clyde and Kev, their acceptance of Rose’s offer has catapulted them on a collision course with an ex-KGB officer turned necromantic monk, and the ancient, wealthy, and morally dubious Cairnwood Society. Clyde and Kev will soon learn that death is only the beginning.

Lord and Lady Ashcroft Shalott

Making some progress with my story (although plenty remains to be done; who knew building several detailed historical lots would be so much work? XD ) but at least the Ashcrofts are now in place.

Naturally, Millie is the protagonist; as this whole thing began with my idea of making her a playable ghost on Olive Specter’s lot, buried there long ago - so I got to thinking, how did Strangetown get started? Perhaps its reputation for odd, inexplicable events dates back to the days of its founding...and because Millie is based on Mimsy from TS4, it follows that she would appear alongside her husband, Bernard. @frauhupfner had already shared an excellent Bernard sim and she agreed to let me use him in my story, so thank you!

Strangetown is far from Windenburg, so I fudged their story quite a lot to suit my needs: Bernard, a failed painter, invested a significant portion of his wealth into financing an expedition beyond Oasis Springs (at the time the westernmost settlement in that part of the world) in search of land and resources. They found that...and more!

This is how Strangetown began, although at this time one could barely call it a town, it being little more than a few buildings gathered around a single street, a farm, and the Ashcroft estate, the construction of which has only recently been completed, 3 years after the founding of the settlement.

It was time for Millie to leave her comfortable manor in Windenburg and join her husband on the frontier...

𝐏𝐑𝐄𝐂𝐈𝐎𝐔𝐒 𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 𝐇𝐀𝐒 𝐀𝐋𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐃𝐘 𝐁𝐄𝐄𝐍 wasted and there’s only one way out of this , he needs to leave ashcroft . if emilio himself decided to show up it must mean they know for sure that he’s hiding somewhere in town , he can’t stay there . he left all his money back at the house , but mateo is nothing if not resourceful , he can find a way . he always does . breathing in and out . in and out . in and out . he pushes away from the wall , glancing back and cursing once he realizes his mini panic attack has made him lose sight of where emilio and his men are . he can’t worry about that now . his hood is pulled up and his head remains low as he walks past clueless people . he doesn’t like wishing for other people’s lives , but , in this moment , he’d give anything to be one of them , laughing and free ; instead , he quickens his pace leaving the festivities behind and also his life for the past few months . he’d always known it would come to an end eventually , but now that the time has come , he wishes he could have had a little longer if only to say goodbye to the few who had touched him in the small town .

𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐒𝐄 𝐀𝐑𝐄 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐒𝐓𝐑𝐄𝐄𝐓𝐒 𝐓𝐇𝐀𝐓 for a naive moment he’d thought could be his ⏤ childish dreams that had no place in his life . he feels it before he sees anything , that sensation of someone following you , steps hardly audible ; it’s enough to prompt the boy to run . sneakers hard against concrete and lungs burning , and it still isn’t enough . ❛ you didn’t think you could run from me , did you , my boy ? ❜ once hot , his blood turns cold and he can’t move . he doesn’t need to look around him to know that he’s surrounded , there’s nowhere to go . he is fucked . he knew that’d been close , knew he should have left weeks before , but had instead decided to trust dante ; he should have known better , it’s his own fault for being so damn stupid . it all happens too fast , an unexpected blow to the back of his head that brings the boy to his knees and leaves him too stunned to fight off the hands that harshly grab him , dragging towards a waiting car . that is bad , really bad . of course , emilio wouldn’t make it easy on him , a bullet to the head right then and there would be too merciful and the man is anything but . he wants mateo to pay for his betrayal first .

✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦

𝐈𝐓 𝐖𝐀𝐒𝐍'𝐓 𝐀 𝐅𝐔𝐍 𝐑𝐈𝐃𝐄 , but he wishes it had lasted longer , if only to give him a few extra minutes before facing what he knows it’s to come . their leader is the one to draw the first blood , fisting colliding with force that makes the young boy stagger back into the waiting hands of two other members . ❛ not bad . i’ll give you a six for that one , ❜ he quips , spitting blood toward the man . not the smartest thing to do when said man is a psychopath who’s probably been dreaming about your death for months , but bravado is all mateo has in his favor now . he’s on his severely outnumbered with no weapon and no possibility of rescue . even his cellphone had been destroyed on the way here . he is not naive to think he’s escaping this one , but he’s not going to cry and beg for mercy . if he’s dying today he’s going running his mouth . the man steps closer , menacing smirk as he cups the boy’s face in faux tenderness , thumb running over his split lip . ❛ always liked that mouth . pity . ❜ it’s a second before the teenager struggles , pulling his face way . he hates that touch ; he’d rather take another punch than that . he gets his wishes ( kinda ) when the man pulls back and delivers a body shot , taking the air out of his lungs .

𝐇𝐄'𝐒 𝐋𝐎𝐒𝐓 𝐓𝐑𝐀𝐂𝐊 𝐎𝐅 𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 , of how many blows he’s taken . they’ve been taking turns and how is that fair when he’s only one punching bag ? he’d point it out again , but last time it hadn’t had a good reaction . yet another fist collides with his face and his head tips back , if it wasn’t for the two pair of hands holding , he’d be flat on the floor already . emilio is still talking , something about loyalty and how much mateo owes him ⏤ or how he owns him , he can’t be sure ⏤ , but he has long stopped paying attention , the pain cursing through his whole body has taken forefront of his mind . ❛ this been really fun , guys . any chance of a quick break ? �� he can hardly recognize his own voice . laughter , but he doubts they’re laughing with him . he just needs a moment , just a minute . the arms let go and he has no option but to fall to the floor , turning on his side immediately . it doesn’t help much , the pain is still there , always there . a boot contacts with his front again and again , and the boy screams in agony , if the previous hit hadn’t messed with his ribs this about did it . it’s so much harder to breathe now . the boy closes his eyes , just a feeble attempt to keep the tears from his captors’ eyes . he’s pathetic .

𝐍𝐎 𝐎𝐍𝐄 𝐍𝐄𝐄𝐃𝐒 𝐓𝐎 𝐓𝐄𝐋𝐋 him that he doesn’t have much time left . they’ve been playing this game for hours , they’ve made their point , there’s not much else they can do to break him . mateo doesn’t want to give up , he can be a lot of things ( usually not the best ) but he’s not a quitter , he’s just so tired . he doesn’t think there’s an inch of his torso that isn’t covered in bruises now and it aches to breathe , to think , even to just lie on that dirty floor . eyes sting with tears and he really wishes he could be stronger , but he just wants it to end already . it’s okay , the odds of living to see eighteen had never been too high , and although it sucks to kick it so close to seventeen he can deal with that . if he didn’t know it would only rattle his ribs , he’d laugh at how incredibly sad it is to think about what he’s leaving behind . a boy with nothing . the strange part is that when he thought of this moment , he didn’t think he’d think of anyone , but he can’t stop thinking about dante and his family who opened their home to him , and the blonde who’d made his days a lot better . he wonders if they’ll miss him . hah , as if . he has no one . there’s a hand pulling at his hair that brings him from his reverie , his eyes meet emilio’s . he’s ready . ❛ just do it . i’m not scared . ❜ but he is . he’s about to die alone and he’s never been more scared .

( PARK JIMIN. AGENDER. ) Aleksander’s coven is intimately familiar with SUWON YI, a dedicated Death Dealer for the coven. HE is a 750 year old vampire known throughout the New World Coven for being DARING + GENEROUS. However, those who are familiar with them also know that they are very DECEITFUL - CANTANKEROUS. They’re known for being the CHAMELEON. Though they are technically disbanded, they are still dedicated to their cause.

a dumbass biography. tldr below.

first, he’s a fisherman in jeolla. it’s late goryeo, but the suwon of mud, huts, and nets doesn’t know this. the country’s in chaos with mongols and famine bearing on their necks and all he’s ever known is the emptiness of land and the bounty of a peaceful ocean. ( lies start simply here. yes, to the tax collector, they’ll collect more tomorrow. no, to his mother, you don’t need to worry. i love you, he says to a farmer’s daughter, i’ll love you forever. yes, to his sister, i’ll stay here. ) when generals ride through their coastal town, suwon’s one of the first to volunteer for the ranks. ( i want to protect my country, he says before making his mark. it’s not a total lie, though he’ll never admit it. ) he doesn’t know how to read letters on a page, but he knows how to swing a sword. fishing’s made his shoulders stronger than others and he’s quickly ushered up the ranks to a position of relative privilege. a general refines how he reads people and soon, suwon finds himself in the ranks of a golden company pushing the mongols back, back, back.

second, he’s a vampire. after years of fighting end in a tentative peace, suwon returns home and finds his home devastated. not mongols. a different breed of creature. suwon goes searching for whatever ripped the harbors and huts to shreds and finds a band of paler faces with fangs and brilliant blue eyes. one is his old general. his world’s expanded in a single night and suwon’s given a choice: join, or die. it’s the second easiest decision he’s ever made. he feels more powerful than ever before and he follows the troupe north to the lycan horde. he helps the slaughter. suwon journeys west and doesn’t look back. they’re an old coven, and he never feels home with them. he feels his best with a weapon in his hand fighting an enemy with a face, and soon he’s heading his own army and chasing lycans throughout the continent.

third, he’s a wanderer. suwon rested in a deep sleep for a few centuries and when he wakes, the world’s entirely different. his old coven’s a shadow of what it was, and there’s a flourishing industry in the west. suwon finds himself in england on the cusp of a new century and, lethargic, abandons his old post for something quieter. it isn’t that years and years of war have made him a pacifist ------ he’s just tired. he plays with the idea of starting his own family, gains a partner and a few fledglings, learns how to teach and care than kill and refuses the call of covens that ask for his help with lycans in the city. it never feels right. not fully. but there are moments he appreciates. theater and music, lights and laughter, card games and shopping. his world slows down and it’s lovely until it’s not. after decades, he finds himself standing in an empty house, alone, holding a carnaged body and wishing he could cry.

silver finds itself back in his hands. fourth, he’s a punk with a plan. a rebel with a cause. he likes living with the living, he finds, that constant burst of fresh air making him feel alive again and helping lead him to the tunnels where the lycans lay, and he follows unexplained deaths to every corner of europe and asia before stepping foot in the states just as the new world coven makes a truce. suwon doesn’t like it. not at all. no one’s ever knwn peace and he doesn’t understand why vampries and lycans think it’s possible. the new coven’s a weakness to be exploited, and so he finds himself here, in the city that never sleeps. a soldier with a death wish, maybe, wondering when a war’s finally going to steal his soul back to hell for good. or maybe he’s fighting to protect them all ------ he’s seen the devastation beasts have, tasted the pain himself over and over. suwon doesn’t trust them. and he won’t rest until they’re gone.

tldr ; fought the mongols, old school soldier. joined a coven out of spite and revenge and was an elite death squad member. hardcore grudge against lycans. slept for a few centuries, woke up in the 19th. tries and fails at a family before totally rides the vibe of the times and hangs out with the young’ins. becomes a death dealer in the old coven. travels all over the world and came to the states to be on the front-lines for when this peace business goes south. which it will. obviously.

a few dumbass statistics.

western zodiac sign : aquarius. element : air. sexuality : pansexual. personality type : entj - a. “the commander.” alignment : lawful neutral. height : 5′7. body type : athletic. hair color : dark grey. eye color : brown / bright blue ( after feeding idk i can’t remember how it works in the underworld verse ). skin tone : golden.

a dumbass playlist.

prblms - 6lack. if we were made of water - banks. russian soul - skott. badbye - rm, eAeon. ghost - halsey. hold on, we’re going home - lykke li. angel - massive attack. energy - avelino, stormzy, skepta. m.a.a.d city - kendrick lamar. sicko mode - travis scott, drake. money - cardi b. blood in the cut - k. flay. lonely soul - unkle, richard ashcroft. hollow moon - awolnation. paint it, black - ciara. desire - meg myers. closer - nine inch nails.

some dumbass aesthetics.

gucci loafers. catnaps. a low chuckle against your neck. silk on skin. mouth full of white lies. open collars. heavy sunglasses and sparkling ears. rumble of the metro in the dark. burning neon bulbs. sly grins. humid summer nights. dangling cross earrings. a fresh manicure and flashing rings. loaded silver bullets. old war stories. smooth skin in candlelight. blood-stained lips. miniature tattoos. homesickness. ancient grudges.

dumbass headcanons.

hair color changes all the time. still has battle scars from his time in the goryeo militia. pierced ears -- need i say more. obsessed with the lost boys and has very strong feelings about the ultimate trio that could’ve been david, michael, and star. flat-out tells people he’s a vampire because he’s too old to be fucking with anonymity. knows four languages fluently, but can curse in twenty. can barely read in any language. fuck walking, he’s always taking the public transport. hasn’t paid for a drink in a hundred years. the last book he read was fifty shades of grey. before that, it was animal farm back in 1947. gucci shades, valentino sneakers. has a rug made of lycan fur he only brings out to piss people off. dated michaelangelo before he was famous. does one good deed a month, like run for charity or donate yeezys to goodwill. raised buddhist and still kind of affiliated.

some not dumb connections.

sired vampires. a sire. former fledglings. fellow soldiers. trained death dealers. unfortunate run-ins. lycans related ( familial, platonically, or romantically ) to ones he’s killed. allies who are also openly anti-peace. suspicions who are openly pro-peace. a lycan he let free before the peace, for reason tbd. old friends. former lovers. a death dealer he goes on patrols ( ? ) with. neighbor who’s room is next to his at the coven’s headquarters. a new vamp who’s bringing him to the 21st century. a vamp he’s bringing to the late 20th century. a lycan who’s really testing his patience. a lycan who’s really going to make him question what he thinks of the world. gaming partners at the local arcade. competitors. someone who annoys the shit out of him. a bad influence. a good influence. a distant relative.

note : suwon is freshly arrived in new york city, but has been on the continent for about a year.
