Flowers for the Sea is their debut novella, coming in 2021 from Tordotcom. Their short story The Night Sun and flash fiction teatime were published on Tor.com. Zin contributed the nonfiction essay “My Genre Makes a Monster of Me” to Uncanny Magazine’s Hugo Award-winning Disabled People Destroy Science Fiction.

Rocklyn is a contributor to Bram Stoker-nominated and This is Horror Award-winning Nox Pareidolia, Kaiju Rising II: Reign of Monsters, Brigands: A Blackguards Anthology, and Forever Vacancy anthologies and Weird Luck Tales No. They’ve got a real talent for evocative prose, tension building, and satisfying storytelling. I have The Night Sun already queued up on my Kindle, so I’m going to be hitting that soon. Even before the story gets going it is abundantly clear that she is nobody to fuck with.įlowers for the Sea was my first foray into Rocklyn’s work, but it most definitely won’t be the last. She is a complicated woman who is by turns vulnerable, tough, and combative.

In just over 100 pages, Rocklyn manages to create a surprisingly complex small-scale society, well-developed characters, and a rich, engrossing story. I don’t want to say much about the story since it is quite short, and I think doing so would veer dangerously toward spoiler territory, so we’ll just focus on the writing. Between this and Mira Grant’s Into the Drowning Deep, I’m in my happy place. I’ve been on a tales-by-sea kick lately, and from the moment I picked Flowers for the Sea up, I was hooked. But I wanted to make sure to get this one done as soon as possible because I LOVED IT SO MUCH. And I still have a massive pile of stuff awaiting review. Who the hell am I? Have I been body-snatched? Well, look at me getting an ARC review out before the publication date. A post shared by Angie – Stranger Sights My Thoughts:
