I am still thinking about how lovely, welcoming, and conversational everyone was at World Fantasy Convention.
I yearn for such days again closer to home.

Started in on my @worldfantasy2025.bsky.social books today, pairing The River Has Roots by @amalelmohtar.com with a gorgeous apple and cinnamon layer cake. Both the cake and the book are sumptuous delicacies, and perfect to enjoy on a winterโs day.

The cover of a limited edition ARC of Gothmagog by Jeff Noon and Steve Beard.
The books are assigned randomly to the free book bags at @worldfantasy2025.bsky.social so I was over the moon to find mine contained an ARC of Gothmagog by Jeff Noon and Steve Beard. Iโve long been a fan of Jeff Noonโs work so this made my day.

On the weird fiction panel at @worldfantasy2025.bsky.social I talked about how weird fiction can sometimes be like holding a joke until it enters that uncomfortable, unheimlich space. I Say (I Say, I Say) by Robert Shearman (in @datlow.bsky.social Best Horror 12) is a beautiful example of that.
