ICYMI!

This is a great novel, one of my favorites of 2025.

Do you read @franwilde.bsky.social ?

@ecbatan.bsky.social does!
And so do I

Thank you so much, Paul!

Just a reminder that when Nightmare Magazine opens to subs again in January, we are VERY EAGER to read your dark creative nonfiction! We're the place to send that creepy list or micro research project about something awful.

Shhh Brian don’t teach the plagiarism engine about souls

Hah yes - omg subscriber panic season.

It’s a good practice anyway!

Agreed

I'm getting so sick of having to find alternatives to alternatives. At least I still have my name on my website and a host I like. I guess we just need to bring back web rings.

(screams myself hoarse)

This one is so much. It's SO MUCH, you don't even know!

We're looking forward to this too!!

This is a very good list of books with some interesting surprises there. I'm glad to see @sgj.bsky.social on there as Buffalo Hunter Hunter was my best book of the year pick, but also happy to see @silviapark.bsky.social and @franwilde.bsky.social make the list among many others!

Oh wow thank you!! I hadn’t seen this!

Oh wowww

Gifts For Writers, 2026 Every year I (try to) do a GIFTS FOR WRITERS post, which is to say, a post speaking not to the writers per se but to those fortunate (or unfortunate) souls that have writers in their lives. Writers…

A somewhat shorter -- though not sweeter -- GIFTS FOR WRITERS this year, over at the blog.

This is wonderful news! Congratulations!

It was so cool

TFW you are minding your own business and an entire starling murmuration flows over your house.

Intergalactic Mixtape #31 Hey! This week I welcomed several new books to my house. This was illegal, as I was supposed to be on a book buying ban for December. However, one of the...

Intergalactic Mixtape is live! It was Podcast Week, with lots of pods dropping episodes. Plus, some excellent essays and a banging interview between Ann Leckie and Arkady Martine from @speculativeinsight.bsky.social.

To my friends from LiveJournal I still think about you Wonder if you finally quit, Do you still speak to your mom? I remember when you went to Japan How you swore you'd never forgive him. I can't remember to take my meds but I remember you wanted to live on a houseboat. It's a strange intimacy, all of us unspooling across decades of internet space Like balls of yarn leaving a trail behind us of everywhere and everyone we've ever been I hope you got your houseboat. I hope you got everything. -Hayley DeRoche
