New SF&F Books for June

The publishing industry is still functioning (sort of) and books are still being published. Here's a list of SF&F books being published in June. 

These are the ones that look interesting:
  • Broken Genius by Drew Murray. FBI Agent Will Packer is called in to investigate a murder at a comics convention specifically because the victim has ties to Will’s pre-bureau career as a tech CEO. He soon discovers that shadowy Dark Web operatives may also be involved in the crime. (June 2)
  • Final Cuts: New Tales of Hollywood Horror and Other Spectacles by Ellen Datlow. Josh Malerman (Bird Box), Garth Nix, Richard Kadrey, Kelley Armstrong, and more contribute to this collection of 18 original horror stories inspired by movies and TV. (June 2)
  • Devolution by Max Brooks. The author of World War Z returns with this account of “the Rainier Sasquatch Massacre,” a fast-paced tale of Bigfoot terror—told via diary entries, interviews, and other sources—that unfolds deep within a remote Pacific Northwest forest. We’ll have an interview with Brooks up on io9 later this week. (June 16)
Not on the list, but worthy of special mention is Robert J. Sawyer's The Oppenheimer Alternative. The ebook has been available since April, but the official release date is today, so you can get your hands on a paper copy should you prefer that format. I have it and will get to it after I finish reading William Gibson's Agency
