Because I’ve written (or have found) quite a few lists of ecologically oriented fiction, I thought I’d finally compile them for readers wanting to know about some of the best eco-fiction stories. There’s always the big database, too, where you can search by author, title, audience, genre, and more.

My Lists

• What We’re Reading: Earth Day 2021. Rewilding Our Stories Discord’s faves.
• Ecological Action Inspires Fiction at Ecology Action Centre, Nova Scotia. My look at a few Canadian authors in the genre.
• Eco-fiction Books Coming in 2021. A look at titles coming soon! And some are now here.
• Wilderness is a Necessity, Even in Fiction. My recommendations during the 2020 holidays at The Chicago Review of Books.
• Part 1, Around the World in 80 Books. My Medium article. See Part II here.
• My ongoing series Exploring World Eco-fiction, Climate Change and Beyond. This dates back to October 2016 in its earliest iteration when I was looking at climate change authors. In 2018 I extended this list to focus on more authors around the world rather than the narrower perspective that media was representing at the time.
• Exploring the Ecological Weird. My three-part article at SFFWorld.com: Part I, Part II, Part III.
