February 21, 2018 I’m pretty chill when it comes to my speculative fiction likes and dislikes. I understand there are things that I love but others might not. For example, Star Trek.

In the spirit of Thanksgiving, I’ve compiled a list of the speculative fiction actresses for whom I’m most grateful, which means I’m pulling from some of my favorite speculative fiction movies, tv shows, and video games for the most talented actresses.

July 6, 2017 – Speculative Chic

November 22, 2017 – Speculative Chic
Is it cheating to write a review for an old favorite? I hope not since I seem to be making a habit of it. I’ve read The Parasol Protectorate a few times since it came out (and it’s not even that old), and it never fails to make me laugh. Beware, there will be minor […]

Fly Me To The Moon; Or, How I Learned To Stop Worrying And Love Outer Space – Speculative Chic
In early October of this year, the Internet was alive and buzzing over the latest, greatest Thing. I was, as per usual in this situation, ambivalent.

Silver Screen Resolution, Take Two: Event Horizon – Speculative Chic
For my 2018 Resolution Project, I decided to take a page out of Lane’s book and do my own Silver Screen Resolution (hence the Take Two part of the title). There are a lot of movies out there I haven’t seen but feel like I should have, or movies that I’ve simply wanted to see […]
