Speculative Fiction

[close] Bizarro fiction is a contemporary literary genre, which often uses elements of absurdism, satire, and the grotesque, along with pop-surrealism and genre fiction staples, in order to create subversive, weird, and entertaining works. Splatterpunk is the result when horror fiction met bizarro and had a gender nonconforming baby. Hatched in the 1980s, because yes the chicken really did come first, it is distinguished by graphic and gratuitously gory depictions of violence. All these genres share a countercultural alignment. We read that stuff (someone has to), and other abnormal fiction, then write publicly to one another here about the experience of reading it. If you join this group, you can too.

[close] This is a group dedicated to reading SF works from around the world translated into English. We cover both new releases and older publications, and nominate at least one group read each month. Founded in 2018 by Rachel Cordasco of www.sfintranslation.com, we're working on becoming a more active, participatory group as of autumn 2020. Come read with us! :)
