The Strange: Exploring the Depths of Nathan Ballingrud’s Dark Fiction

Publication date: 21-03-2023 Genre: Science fiction, Horror fiction, Alternate history Language: English Pages: 304 Nathan Ballingrud’s The Strange emerges as a captivating testament to the enduring appeal of science fiction and fantasy.

While Edith broadly understands what’s happening, Samantha spends a lot of time in denial. Despite this, I found Edith to be a much more likable character. The underground children might not appeal to everyone, but I […]
