Crystal Dragons from “Seven Ways Through the Woods” (out today!)

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:

Fantasy religions often feel like reskins either of ancient Greek or Norse pantheons or of the medieval Catholic church. But what more interesting choices can we make when building faith within an invented world?

@devafagan.bsky.social joins us to explore some of the options!

Please come and ask me questions next week! I will happily chat about House of Dusk, reading, writing, publishing, worldbuilding, gaming (currently playing Blue Prince and loving it!), LARPing, tea, travel, my dog, and really anything else that makes me happy!

Ooooooooh @devafagan.bsky.social has a post up on @scalzi.com 's blog about the 20-years-in-the-making creative saga of HOUSE OF DUSK (out today)! I was with her for most of this journey and it's so fantastic to see this book assume its badass final form!!! whatever.scalzi.com/2025/08/26/t...

You did! It's my husband's name so we probably aren't directly related though you never know since I do have an Irish great-grandma!

It definitely would not be the book it is today without your support, encouragement and critical feedback over the years! ♥️♥️♥️

So, so grateful to you for all your support and encouragement Steph! ♥️♥️♥️

I am also incredibly thankful to all the early readers who have read and talked about and shared gorgeous photos of House of Dusk! Your posts mean so much to me. For me, storytelling is about connection. My biggest hope is that these worlds and characters come alive in other people's brains!

For now, I'm just so SO grateful to all the people who helped me get here, including my fierce agent Pam Gruber, my brilliant editor Navah Wolfe, and the entire outstanding team at @dawbooks.bsky.social
