2 h. ago The best recent science fiction, fantasy and horror – review roundup

The Naked Light by Bridget Collins; Exiles by Mason Coile; Alchemised by SenLinYu; Saltcrop by Yume Kitasei; Big Time by Jordan ProsserThe Naked Light by Bridget Collins (Borough, £18.99)The latest from the bestselling author of The Binding is set in England and focuses on three “surplus women” after the first world war: bored, lonely Florence, her fey niece Phoebe, and Kit, a bohemian artist haunted by memories of wartime France, where she painted masks for wounded soldiers to wear over horrifically damaged faces. Their village is on the Sussex Downs, overlooked by an ancient face carved into the chalk, reputed to protect inhabitants from a hungry spirit. But since the death of the last member of the family traditionally bound to look after it, the face is fast disappearing beneath the grass, and something frightening is stirring in the land. Atmospheric, psychologically astute and beautifully realised, this is a brilliantly original literary take on folk horror.Exiles by Mason Coi...

2 h. ago Wealth and power shape the climate emergency – the most important tool we have to defend ourselves is the facts | Naomi Klein

It’s never been more critical to challenge the misinformation that could turn a crisis into a catastropheSupport the Guardian’s independent, fact-based journalism todayA little over a decade ago I published a book, This Changes Everything, which explored the reality of the climate crisis as a confrontation between capitalism and the planet. For a few years after the book came out, it seemed like we might just win a breakthrough. A cascade of large and militant mobilisations pressed the case for keeping warming below 1.5C as global calls for a green new deal grew louder and louder. Countries across the world announced long-term plans to reduce emissions and to hit net-zero targets; so did some of the largest corporations on the planet.And then well, we all know what happened. A corporate-financed backlash on all fronts. In the first 100 days of Trump’s second t...

17 h. ago Terence Crawford: from a bullet’s glancing blow to boxing’s biggest stage

From an Omaha gym to a Las Vegas stadium, Terence Crawford has built a career solving problems others can’t. Now he must out-think size, history and Canelo ÁlvarezTerence ‘Bud’ Crawford, America’s finest boxer since Floyd Mayweather Jr, has spent his life closing the distance between the improbable and the inevitable. He was the kid from North Omaha who survived a bullet to the head and poured himself into neighborhood gym. He was the stubborn amateur who missed the Olympics but kept showing up in dingy basements until the craft became second nature. He was the icy technician and ruthless finisher, denied opportunities against name-brand fighters for most of his career, who unified the fractured world championship at 140lb, then did it again at 147 by dismantling Errol Spence Jr so comprehensively that it felt like a curtain being ripped back. Here, at last, was the full measure of the quiet man’s design.Now, at 37, undefeated in 41 professional fights with 31 wins by knockout, he’s...
