Black Hole Heart and Other Stories by K. A. Teryna, translated by Alex Shvartsman These stories are genre-bending explorations of how protagonists deal with unusual and unexpected situations.

It's SH's 25th birthday! Three reviews as ever this week, with the first from @rachelcordasco.bsky.social: a short fiction collection from KA Teryna, translated Alex Shvartsman for @patrickswenson.bsky.social's Fairwood Press.

"The stories in Black Hole Heart refuse to be labeled," Rachel writes.

Serpent Carriers by K.A. Teryna, translated by Alex Shvartsman Clarkesworld Science Fiction and Fantasy Magazine and Podcast.

just finished the INCREDIBLE novelette by @k-a-teryna.bsky.social (translated by @alexshvartsman.bsky.social) in @clarkesworldmagazine.com

Ternya's ability to turn a phrase is captured well by Shvartsman's translation here with "Serpent Carriers" which is a WILD RIDE!!!

Cover art is "Alone" by Matt Dixon. A lone bronze-colored robot looks out from the center of a dimly-lit maze of solid, but short, walls.

The July Issue of Clarkesworld features original stories by Tia Tashiro, Fiona Moore, Gary Kloster, K.A. Teryna, Eric Del Carlo, Amal Singh, and Bam Bruin.

This absolutely brilliant long novelette is perhaps the most complex translation I've had to perform to date, but it is well worth it! I can't wait for everyone to read this story.
