Giant worms. God-Emperors. Gom jabbars. When it comes to sci-fi, nobody does it quite like Dune. When Frank Hebert’s weird anti-chosen one epic first hit the shelves in 1965, who woulda thunk it would have inspired countless fantasy and sci-fi stories to follow? It’s almost as if a covet order of murderous space nuns orchestrated Dune‘s success from the very beginning, but surely the Bene Gesserit couldn’t be that influential… could they? If you or a loved one has been brainwashed into gobbling up fantastical space operas, here are 10 sci-fi and and fantasy books to read in order to sate your ravenous, Shai-Hulud-esque hunger for more.
Gideon the Ninth
(Tor.com)Tamsyn Muir’s Gideon the Ninth is just Dune with gothic space lesbians – a vast improvement on the original. Set a faraway star system where nine plant ruling Houses compete for the favor of an undead Emperor, this emo epic follows Gideon Nav, an indentured servant to the sepulchral Ninth House and its shadowy young heir Harrowhark. In order to win her freedom, Gideon is tasked by Harrowhark to compete alongside her in a series of necromantic trials hosted in a decaying mansion – where the winner will ascend to undead godhood. The result is a murder mystery tale rife with unspoken queer longing under Hot Topic levels of mascara. We all shopped there once, and this novel will make you want to do it again – in service of the Emperor, of course.
