It’s time to start wrapping up the year, and since I can’t resist a good Top X list, here’s mine:) Books, comics, TV series - you name it, I’ve got some gems to share.

I'll focus on broadly defined speculative fiction, but if thrillers are your thing, let me know - I’ve got a few killer suggestions.

I hope at least some of these picks will grab your attention, especially since some of them are criminally underread and deserve way more love.
