New Summer SFF reads from M.A. Carrick, Eliza Chan, Seth Haddon, and More
There’s nothing like a summer reading challenge to get you into the proper mindset for the season. Many of us grew up on personal pizzas as the reward for reading a certain number of books; these days, my kids get coupons for ice cream and drive-in movie theaters for their efforts. No matter what the incentive, let’s bring that energy into compiling this month’s SFF books. Your options include a graphic novel about lady knights, retellings of Rapunzel (with amnesia and anthropomorphized hair) and Cinderella (in 1940s Hong Kong), Spanish explorers meeting the fae on the high seas, and a futuristic cli-fi fable inspired by Portuguese folklore. Plus, don’t forget to check out august clarke’s The Felicity Complex and H.G. Parry’s The Witch Below the Dreaming Wood from our 2026 most anticipated list.
