Cover of The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction Volume 1, Summer 2025, with Nnedi Okorafor, Maurice Broaddus, Justin C. Key, Matthew Kressel & Mercurio D. Rivera, John Shirley, Inda Lauryn all listed on the cover. A Black cyberpunk-ish figure is in the front, full, long dreadlocks, trench coat, having pulled a sword with an umbrella handle from its sheath, against a futuristic cityscape and a stunning orange-red sky with turquoise touches.

15.02.2026 22:49 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0I like the concept of the doppelganger being the setting or environment in stories. I really enjoyed a panel at Boskone with @theodoragoss.bsky.social, @justinkey.bsky.social, and @matociquala.bsky.social on doppelgangers and got to have a good think.

So terribly bittersweet! The Hospital at the End of the World was reviewed in The Washington Post by @charliejane.bsky.social
"If you’ve been craving a futuristic version of ‘The Pitt,’ look no further.”
WOW!
Sadly, I hear this may be one of the last book reviews in the paper. Sad times, y'all.
