I am once again looking for more ecofiction to review at @briefecology. I’m particularly interested in eco horror and the eco weird from the Global South, the trans community, and other underrepresented groups. Send your recs my way!

@benlockwood @briefecology so like THE OVERSTORY, but with better representation? I'm not super familiar with ecofiction, though I do read quite a bit of Climate Fiction, which I think is probably not what you're looking for. This sounds like a great genre, though, so I will be following the responses.

@kimlockhartga @benlockwood @briefecology
Barkskins, by Annie Proulx is somewhat similar to Overstory, in concept. And Bangkok Wakes to Rain, by Pitchaya Sudbanthad deals with multiple people and families who reside at the same address over the years, from the past into the future. How High We Go in the Dark by Sequoia Nagamatsu is another book that moves forward into the future, not necessarily climate-related.

@EllenInEdmonton @benlockwood @briefecology Yes, I am familiar with these, and have read the last one you mentioned: very dark.

@kimlockhartga @benlockwood @briefecology
Funny, I thought it had many dark elements but felt strangely hopeful. I don't think it's too far from what we're looking at with our current climate soup situation.

@EllenInEdmonton @benlockwood @briefecology very realistic. Perhaps that's why I found it dark: because it felt real.

@EllenInEdmonton @kimlockhartga @benlockwood @briefecology
I saw your post yesterday and found How High We Go in the Dark on libro.fm. I could NOT put it down before it was over, so thank you for the recommendation!

@bluewitch
Thanks! It's pretty fascinating, right?!

@EllenInEdmonton
I could have done without the last chapter. I was a bit annoyed in the end that stuff happening wasn't as accidental as it seemed throughout. And the last chapter took the whole story too far into high fantasy for me.

But up to that, I was hooked. The story is indeed fascinating, and quite realistic up to a point. I really liked the little hints to earlier POV characters with each new chapter.
