The most decadent books don’t just whisk you away—they toy with you. They slip a single question into your bloodstream and let it pulse there until you can’t tell if you’re imagining it… or if the world has tilted just a little to the left.
Speculative fiction is gluttony for the mind. It’s a tasting menu of possibility—parallel worlds plated next to altered histories, impossible sciences served rare. It’s where your brain leans in close and whispers, what if this wasn’t fiction at all?
đź“š Three Courses to Devour
1. The Midnight Library by Matt Haig
An endless buffet of lives you could have lived, each one sweeter or sharper than the last.
2. Recursion by Blake Crouch
Memories rewritten like a menu scrawled in chalk, the special of the day changing faster than you can swallow.
3. The Power by Naomi Alderman
Power, raw and electric, handed to those who’ve been told to keep quiet. Now? The bill comes due.
đź’ Your Turn
The best what ifs are never safe. They linger. They unsettle. And they taste like something you’ll crave again long after the last page.
