I know I'm responsible for some of those tags.

For example, "a country now gone", "manitoba" (not the same thing), "watch the moon", "faun", "pokemon go", and "long-distance telephone call", among others.

Screenshot of the Nebulas Recommended Reading List page, showing:

Montroy, Michael Yuya "Blight"
Moon, Richard H "To Conquer Death" (that one is MINE)

I know we've all got a lot of issues with everyone and everything, but my book is on the Nebulas Recommended Reading List and that's pretty boss, actually.

TY @emmie458.bsky.social for this lovely review of "RedChip BlueChip"!

It's like... my favorite thing to see the urls being created by people filtering on InkFoundry. This morning:

taxa-found-family-and-post-apocalypse-and-road-trip/

Which results in: "Resurrection Highway" by A. R. Capetta

InkFoundry's "surprise me" feature served up Lavie Tidhar's "Seven Vampires."

In short: what if Holmes and Watson were vampires and Conan Doyle had a sense of humor? Very entertaining read thanks to the characters and comedy. It was the inverse of a locked room mystery (an open road mystery?)
