Welcome to Book Battles
Science fiction and fantasy have been arguing with each other, and with us, for over a century. Book Battles is a monthly series that leans into that argument: each episode pits two genre legends head-to-head, rescues a forgotten classic from undeserved obscurity, and reviews something new enough to still be worth the conversation. Charlie Forêt hosts. No spoilers, no filler, no five-star inflation.
