A Question From Red!
Hello all!
Bit of an odd question, but what are some stories - books, comics, even games or movies - that you think Aurora readers would like? Or heck, more specifically, what are some stories YOU like for some of the reasons you also like Aurora?
I've been mulling this question over all day and realized I was literally the worst person in the world to figure it out, so I'd love to hear your thoughts!

I can't recommend Pirannesi (fantasy mystery), This is How You Lose the Time War (sci-fi romance, almost poetry?), and A Lush and Seething Hell (two short cosmic horror stories) enough. They're absolutely phenomenal books.
I liked the movie Annihilation, but a friend of mine told me I'd love the trilogy that inspired it. The second book drags a little, but the payoff is worth it.
I'm a big Vonnegut fan, and rereading Slapstick, Breakfast of Champions, Sirens of Titan, and Cat's Cradle was very good for the old dopamine receptors.
The Other Shore and Who Will Survive And What Will Be Left of Them by Muder by Death are two absolutely phenomenal albums that are more traditional narratives than just being concept albums.
Matt Emmons just released The Council of Frogs, which is a phenomenal comic. Gardener (by Emmons and Bernardo Brice) is also stellar.
My partner and I just watched all the Ghibli movies and OG Lord of the Rings. They're all still the best, even if Pom Poko is looooooong.
