A rough, rubbly looking terrain that looks like that weird lint crap that builds up in crawlspaces.

This photo was taken on the surface of an asteroid.

The book The EcoGothic Werewolf in Literature. The text overlays the face of a wolf depicted with forest scenes.

Back to Gothic studies! 🦇🐈‍⬛️💀

The EcoGothic Werewolf in Literature:

Genuinely an enjoyable read. The author's argument is both extensive and compelling, and shows the importance of hybridity and the werewolf as humankind attempts to imagine a future as a species.

A full moon in the sky reflected on still water on which a boat with three people is passing. Reeds grow on the shore in the foreground.

'Moonlit Sea' - Koho, ca. 1930's.

I really love being here on this earth. It’s so beautiful and humans are capable of such astonishing things & every culture is fascinating to me & the splendor of our natural world & the diversity of species is like an actual miracle. We must escape the Capitalocene and build something better.

A logo with a circular image with a rainbow background and the white silhouette of an open book and a poised quill over the circle. Text beside this reads Indie Press Webring.

A year ago, I proposed making a web ring for independent presses! And - tada! The Indie Press Webring connects independent publishing houses. We're small, and we need your help spreading the word so we can grow.

And if you’re wondering “Why is there a blob in the back?” Well, that’s where the first woman president was supposed to go. More than a century later, it remains unsculpted.

A chihuahua crossed with an alligator in a space suit holding a pumpkin with a crowned skull carved into it. He has a glowing sword stabbed into the ground beside him and a 3-pronged staff on his other side. His white cape flows diagonally to the right corner.

Ghostboy brought some friends along in his crowdfunding journey!

Here's a pinup I drew of Glomm, a monster destined to become a Knight Wizard—if he can survive the darkness creeping across his world, from MONSTER KNIGHT by @shannondenton.bsky.social and Thomas Boatwright.

Re-reading Wuthering Heights. Forgot what a maniac Mr. Lockwood is. "My new landlord is surly and unwelcoming and his dog tried to attack me so I should definitely hike miles in the Yorkshire winter to hang out with him in his weird foreboding house again today."

Fed up with your world? Visit ours. Picture of the Clarkesworld robot looking over at the cover of our February issue. That cover features a robot looking out at the sea while standing on the beach with their hands clasped behind their back. The water comes gently towards their feet. Peaceful ocean and sky. A contemplative moment of peace. Cover art by Matt Dixon.

It's time for your periodic reminder that we count on subscriptions to keep the lights on.

It is *wild* the extent to which academics who write about sf and fantasy and horror don't operate with this basic premise of genre theory in mind.

Bad Bunny’s performance began in the plantation, featured broken electric poles, and ended by centering a hemispheric understanding of “América”—among many other things—and some Anglo journalists are like “his performance wasn’t political.”

This is why we need to be telling our stories.

Still image from the Super Bowl halftime show of Bad Bunny looking serious, talking directly to the camera, pointing at us.

“If I’m here at Super Bowl LX, it’s because I never stopped believing in myself. You should never stop believing in yourself either. It’s worth more than you think.” —Bad Bunny
