Equal parts Stranger Things, E.T., Forrest Gump, and The Last of Us, The Bones Beneath My Skin is a sci-fi adventure that bursts with humor, warmth, and a pulse of genuine humanity. First self-published in 2017 and re-released by Tor on February 4, 2025, TJ Klune’s novel pairs a fast-paced, high-stakes chase with the kind of emotional depth that leaves a mark. At the center of it all is Artemis Darth Vader—a whip-smart, big-hearted kid with a love for Westerns, an endless appetite for bacon, and the uncanny ability to make you care deeply, fast.
In The Last Murder at the End of the World, Stuart Turton blends post-apocalyptic survival with locked-room mystery—resulting in a cerebral, genre-defying novel that’s equal parts science fiction and whodunit. If The 7½ Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle left you spinning (in a good way), prepare for another wild ride.
Humanity has brought itself to the brink of destruction but one man, grappling with his own humanity, may have the answer. This is Blake Crouch at his thrilling best.
She’s artificial, intelligent, and not entirely sure where the programming ends and her identity begins. Annie Bot is a compact, cutting sci-fi novel that will make you ask: if she can think, feel, and want… can she be owned? Should she?
