Speculative Fiction

[close] Female authors only

[close] Welcome to the House of Llianne Olivo — a gathering space for readers who crave romance in every shade, shape, and form. Here you will find sweet stories, dark tales, spicy scenes, taboo corners, speculative twists, paranormal secrets, contemporary ache, and moments touched by mysticism and ghostlight that linger long after the last page. This group is for readers who want more than just a book on a shelf. Join if you want early access to my new releases as an ARC reader, or if you want to be part of my street team or beta circle. Here you can help pick tropes, share your preferences, and shape what I write next. I share giveaways, signed copies, bookmarks, and sometimes special extras through my Etsy shop. I release books weekly — Kindle Unlimited drops, Wattpad freebies, wide paperbacks and ebooks, and future audiobooks. I post behind-the-scenes confessions, raw thoughts about the industry, and honest updates on what it costs to build stories that bruise sweet. Many of my stories drift through shadows of spirituality and old myths — creatures of night and day, ghosts, forgotten gods, and whispered secrets. If that resonates with you, you will find it here, woven softly into the bones of each book. I hope to visit book fairs and local stores soon, and this group will be the first to know where I might appear next. If you want more connection, you can join my Discord for text chats, voice nights, story polls, music, and quiet late-night company. Whether you like your romance clean or dangerously dark, soft or sharp, sweet or uncomfortably good, you are welcome here. This House is built for readers who support each other and help my work stay visible with reviews, word-of-mouth, and honest conversation. We build this House together. Bienvenidos. This is where the ghosts get fed.

[close] This is a group dedicated to reading SF works from around the world translated into English. We cover both new releases and older publications, and nominate at least one group read each month. Founded in 2018 by Rachel Cordasco of www.sfintranslation.com, we're working on becoming a more active, participatory group as of autumn 2020. Come read with us! :)

[close] Bizarro fiction is a contemporary literary genre, which often uses elements of absurdism, satire, and the grotesque, along with pop-surrealism and genre fiction staples, in order to create subversive, weird, and entertaining works. Part of a countercultural alignment, we read the stuff in part because it's different in unexpected ways. Come join us if not being a part of anything is your thing too. That way we can all non-conform together.
