Thrilled! Goldsmiths Press/Gold SF will publish ALSTON MOOR in Autumn 2026. Epic eco-fiction with two entwined storylines, 500 years apart!

Always have a map in your fantasy book. Have every character contradict the map, in contradictory ways. Include a timeline and have events contradict the timeline. Include a glossary and have societies and religions interpret the glossary in contradictory ways.

@tashanmehta.bsky.social's incredible, wild, and mend-bending THE MAD SISTERS OF ESI; feels a little like Borges, a little like Calvino, and is 100% rewiring my brain

Mad Sisters of Esi by Tashan Mehta Feels Like a Lucid Dream - Reactor
An ever-shifting fever dream of a slipstream story.
Tashan Mehta's lush prose reads as a hazy fairy tale; its ruminations on setting and sisterhood, pieced from different narrators across different formats, earns Mad Sisters of Esi its position as one of Reactor's most highly anticipated novels of the year:
