What an incredible and haunting story. Set on an eerie and isolated Mars, we follow Annabelle Crisp as she tries to come to grips with her world. I love how the author used sci-fi to subtly mirror our species' existential issues. Unflinchingly bleak but not entirely without hope or humanism.
The Strange will appeal to fans of Westerns like True Grit and traditional sci-fi.
