Oliver K. Langmead’s six novels each take a different approach to speculative fiction. Dark Star is a verse-novel set on a planet without light. Metronome explores music and memory. Birds of Paradise reimagines the Garden of Eden. Glitterati skewers fashion culture through surreal satire. Calypso retells Homer through a science fiction lens.
His most recent, City of All Seasons (2025), continues his track record of books that refuse to fit neatly into a single genre. Each novel stands alone, connected not by plot but by Langmead’s commitment to combining literary form with speculative ideas.
