She built her voice across years, low and easy, the way you set a temperament — one careful note leaned into the next. The worst of it: her throat closing over the bare idea of using it in front of them. "Unison" is about the instrument you make by hand being taken off you in a crowded car.

If you're in the mood for a young adult dystopian fantasy hacker sci-fi, try Wild Things.

"Sometime in the near future, four teens are living through every day dystopia, perpetuated by ecological collapse and mass extinction. Each has a unique connection to nature; a connection which will prove useful as they find themselves embroiled in fossil fuel conspiracies and corporate corruption."

Wild Things is available for free from my website: https://ater.neocities.org/books/mybooks

Vampires aren't usually something I read, but I'm clearly desperate for works from #southkorea Happily, this was very good.

If you're in the mood for some young adult strange fantasy romance, try roach: a love story.

"A cockroach awakes one morning to find themselves transformed into a monstrous human. This is only the first in a series of increasingly disconcerting events for the now human teenager. It will not be long before Roach has firsthand knowledge of many aspects of the human experience, including: broken bones, broken hearts, bigotry and sadness; but also: Love, which in humans comes in many forms. So, that's nice, but will love be enough to make it all worth it?"

Strange Horizons

The air in the chamber tasted of ozone and crushed midnight flowers. Lyra didn’t move as the shadow creature stepped closer, its skin shimmering like dark velvet. No fear. Only a raw, electric pull that logic couldn't explain.

"You shouldn't have summoned me," the entity whispered, fingers of cool smoke brushing her collarbone.

Lyra leaned into the touch, her gaze sharp. "I don't play by the rules of mortals."

The room is dim enough to make anyone look mysterious, but the old man doesn’t need the help.
Draped in billowy black, he has a fluffy white beard.
(Cliché, I know. But that’s what he looks like. I’m just telling it like it is).
