This Is My Genre (Science Fiction!)

I wanted to answer these questions I saw on a another blog! I wrote about my favourite literary genre, give some book recommendations and share some memories as well!

@joel @AlexWolfe Yay, glad my post inspired you to write your own. And great to see we’re twinsies for SF. 😎

@joel @alexandra

Nice one. Science Fiction is my favourite too. I wish I had been encouraged to read as a kid.

@joel @alexandra Yeah, I've been reading sci-fi for years now, and I really love the genre, it's nice in a way because it feels like a I can really dream myself into a different world, rather to have to deal with the world that is, which kind of is just what I want from a book :)

@joel @alexandra I loved this so much I was inspired to write about my own favorite genre! https://syls.blog/this-is-my-genre-horror/

I also have to say that I love sci-fi too, even though I don't read it as much these days. Jules Verne was one of my first favorite authors. :)

@alexandra @joel Thank you! This was so much fun to participate in!
@syl @joel I hope we can do more cross overs again soon.

@syl this was fantastic! A lot of my favourite sci-fi also comes bundled with horror—especially cosmic horror like in The Expanse or Hothouse can have.

And of course, the original Parasite Eve novel was great there

@alexandra

@joel Thank you! Sci-fi horror is great, and the Parasite Eve novel is on my to-read list! It's one of my all-time favorite games, so I definitely want to get around to reading the inspiration for it in the future.

@alexandra

@syl I was so crazy for the Parasite Eve franchise, read the novel, watched the Japanese movie and countless essays, and I never got past the hospital rooftop in the game 😭

I need to return to it...
