This is a creation of the multitalented @epapasoulioti.bsky.social! 🦑

The old world is dying, and the new world struggles to be born; now is the time of monsters.

Thank you! 😊

My one award-eligible work this year is my novella, HOW TO SURVIVE THIS FAIRYTALE, a queer exploration of healing & trauma that consistently makes readers cry. When voting, I hope you'll consider it.

Ghosts of Summer September, 100° F The apartment is dark when I return, the blackout curtains doing their job of keeping the late afternoon sun...

This story is written with the precision of a scalpel and it takes no prisoners when it comes to the revelation. Perhaps you want to read a non-linear story about heat and the chill of a ghost against your skin.

Things You Can Make ChatGPT Write for You - Hayley DeRoche Your last words But before them What to murmur to a lover in bed What to say in the group chat when someone's Sister mother brother is dead and The apology you could never quite get right for a friend And hell why not make the robot compose your proposal Your wedding toast, too Your best friend's birthday roast You could ask it to write a custom lullaby For the baby snuffling at your breast. You can cradle to grave away Every warm human word You could ever have said And when they chisel your gravestone For your final rest We can ask ChatGPT Because it knew you best

Love it 🙌

Loved this one! In a way it reminded me of The Men from Narrow Houses (which I also love)

We Dwell — Weird Horror Magazine

A gripping story of violence and its repetition. Of past sins or future hurts waiting to happen. What will it take to break the cycle? Is pain all that we have? All that we are?

Hey just want to say THANK YOU to all my readers who bought my books this year and yelled about them to your friends and maybe lured your enemies into the woods and lost them there forever

You guys are the wind beneath my wings

It’s Storytime with Wil Wheaton You may recognize Wil Wheaton’s name from his acting work in television shows like The Big Bang Theory, Leverage, and Star Trek: The Next Generation, or 1985’s timeless classic, Stand B…

Hey! Some fun news. "The Sort" (orig. @clarkesworldmagazine.com) was picked up for @wilwheaton.net's podcast. Went live today! Narrated thoughtfully and w/a kind shoutout for SFF mags at the end. And a surprise(!) mention of Uncertain Sons 🙏. Many thanks to Wil and his audio team. What an honor.

Awesome narration for this great story by @paultremblay.bsky.social from the anthology 120 MURDERS: ruadanbooks.com/product/120-...

Happy birthday you awesome person <3

I've made another round of updates to my eligibility and recommendations link post. Keep sending your links my way and spreading the word about all the amazing work that came out this year!

acwise.net/what-have-yo...

I have a new Uncanny story! Set in a village that was flooded and is no more, though its inhabitants remember...but what they remember and what's the truth - that's another question.
Contested memory & generational trauma of the Greek Civil War (and more family dinners with...issues.)

The cover for Uncanny Magazine Issue 67, "Mushroom Mother of Us All" by Paul Lewin. In the center, an elderly Black woman has her eyes serenely closed, a brown-orange nose piercing on her right nostril and an orange line/mark on her chin. Her hair are the green leaves of trees, trunks growing out of the side of her face, and mushrooms growing through the leaves. She wears large earrings of orange, sienna, with aqua and white lines and dots. Her hands hold a bowl lined with Black faces and mushrooms growing out of the bowl. In the center of the bowl and thus the front of her chest is an orange sun surrounded by a dark pink halo like a globe. The quote reads: "Where mother was born, fish sing, algae dance. They say that when the waters lower you can feel the swell between your organs—liver bloated, heart submerged. Mother always goes back in years of drought. This time is Vassia’s first. 'I’m so glad you’ll finally see our home.'"

Reading 2025 fiction?

Try the short story "Thicker" by Eleanna Castroianni @ecastroianni.bsky.social!

You can read it in the eBooks now & on the website in December!

Thank you! (Sorry didn't see it before!) 😊

This story slides off your skin like a snake looking for the right opening to conquer your mind forever. As always Megha writes stunning, sensual prose and a biting critique of the system.

Honored to be a Special Guest at @laworldcon.bsky.social next year! 🚀💫💜

I hope to use the space to champion the amazing work of speculative poets and Canadian BIPOC SFF writers!

Basically, this is a non-Anglocentric Dark Academia story that moved to South India, took hallucinogens, and had lots of strange sex. You’re welcome.

I spent a year of my life writing collaborative fiction with eleven incredible writers; each story is followed by a collaborative deep-dive into the craft of our stories/work and the techniques we used, as well as what worked and what didn't.

If you write, this book is a GOLDMINE. Get yours now.

Happy book birthday to us!!!

BCS does such amazing work publishing some of the most poignant and imaginative fantasy around. Let's give the magazine a boost to keep paying its authors and first readers❤️

Beneath Ceaseless Skies - The Messengers of Despair by Jordan Kurella It was a house. Impossibly a house; an impossible house in the wood that had odd angles and wrong doors. It had neither foundation nor stairs. Instead it had roots, growing out of the earth like a tre...

This is a charming and heartwarming story about Hope, who's a mother and a house and Despair who's a father and a road and their daughter who must carve her own path between the two. But aren't all of us in a way their children?
