🎶Livin' on a prayer this all works out emmaliah.wixsite.com/emmaliawrite...

Meet Our Author! We are thrilled that Bram Stoker, Shirley Jackson, and Ignyte Award-winning author @edenroyce.bsky.social is coming to THE COOKOUT and bringing a delectable story to the table! 💀🥧🌺 Check out more about Eden & the anthology here: www.kickstarter.com/projects/and...

The best non-spoilerly pitch I can make for my story in this is: “Have you ever arrived at a family dinner and wanted to murder everyone present?” * *please don’t do this 😆

Join us for THE COOKOUT! An anthology of science fiction, fantasy, and horror, where the stories all have one thing in common: the tradition of THE COOKOUT. A perfect way to support black speculative fiction authors this Black History Month! www.kickstarter.com/projects/and...

I'm on pins and needles, y'all. PINS and NEEDLES. @tco-anthology.bsky.social #comingsoon (like REAL soon!) www.kickstarter.com/projects/and...

Let’s go @babblewocky.bsky.social!! 🌹💀

Happy Black History Month, Sci-Fi Cookouteers! We've got a question for you (or your Cookout Anthology character...)

The Cookout Anthology is getting ready to open for submissions next month! We wanna get your writerly juices flowing, so we will be posting some prompts for your pleasure, here there and everywhere on social media. Scary storytellers, tell us:

Our Kickstarter will be launching VERY SOON! If you’d like to support an exciting new speculative anthology centered on Black culture and food, make sure you sign up to be the first to know when it goes live! 🛸🧚🏽‍♂️🍳 kickstarter.com/projects/androidpress/the-cookout-a-speculative-fiction-anthology

Swooping back this very fine MLK Day with our first unthemed issue of 2026! Behold! Get yours! Tell a friend! fiyahlitmag.com/shop/issues/...

🍄Do you dare risk picking the forbidden mushrooms? How do you keep from tipping off the fae… and what happens if they catch you! 🧚🏽‍♂️

Congrats to our coeditor @babblewocky.bsky.social whose novelette “Garden of the Bloodpotter” (@psychopomp.com) made the BSFA longlist!! 🔥🔥🔥 www.bsfa.co.uk/bsfa-awards-...

Dispelling Fantasies made the BSFA longlist!!! I'm honored. Academics don't publish books to make lots of money, so being recognized by my fellow SFF lovers and having people tell me the book has been useful to them is the thing that keeps me going in my research!

I'm Emmalia, of @tco-anthology.bsky.social and @fiyahlitmag.bsky.social. I made it onto a self-pub bestseller list last fall.

The year end festivities are over. It may be chilly in your area, you may be worn out from the prep work, or socially drained. Are you the type to cap off your cookout season with a warm, possibly stiff drink? What's your brew of choice? @tco-anthology.bsky.social

Get your cast-vibranium skillets out and answer this question, in the comments...

@tco-anthology.bsky.social Old and new join forces on the plate! Along with traditional collard greens and Hoppin' John, we have newcomers like lamb and beet salad. Will this union be a harmonious one, or will another intergalactic peace treaty go up in flames?

@tco-anthology.bsky.social Happy New Year to you and yours, however you gather!

Dear bluskeeters! I'm doing research with a friend. If you're a Black Author with a speculative book publishing in 2026, could you please pitch and link me, please? This a difficult to sus intersection. Please add your friends' work. Please tag people. Please share

You overate at the cookout. Do you a) Beg Granny Witch for her indigestion potion? b) Swap your overstuffed stomach for your empty backup stomach? c) Grab a fresh plate for thirds? @tco-anthology.bsky.social

It’s never too late to start your Black Cake if you’ve got a time machine!

Festive time is almost here! Is your kitchen the avatar of Chaos, or do you have house fairies or nanobots helping you? @tco-anthology.bsky.social

Or do you split the time stream for the best of both worlds: new & traditional recipes!

"Sulily dreams in hypersleep..."

Are you whipping out the fiddle or the pectin? 😈

Loving the cover for our co-editor @pcverrone.com’s debut novel! 😍

One person's byproduct can be your delicious ingredient. It can be as humble as bacon grease, celestial as Milky Way buttermilk, filling as lembas croutons, or.... Whatever it is Yog Shoggoth makes. What will be in your cookout? @tco-anthology.bsky.social

Anyone up for making seasonal soda for their year-end cookout? @tco-anthology.bsky.social youtu.be/zF95IperemI?...

Tis the season of bubbling brews and steamy draughts!

THE COOKOUT: speculative fiction from the African diaspora, launches February 1! Our top pledge gets you copies of the anthology, a ticket to the online launch party, a digital recipe book, and more. Launch notification at www.kickstarter.com/projects/and... @tco-anthology.bsky.social

@tco-anthology.bsky.social, what kind of cookout do you imagine for this gingerbread house? youtube.com/shorts/qOmTP...

It’s the season of devouring!

An experimental recipe for the cookout. Can you guess what it is? A fairy ring cake? An edible cosmos? The one thing capable of containing Cthulhu citrus? @tco-anthology.bsky.social

Some of us cooks get gadgety this time of year! So tell us, @tco-anthology.bsky.social Cookouteers...

@tco-anthology.bsky.social This fusion barbecue sounds cookout worthy. Thoughts? youtu.be/MWyAzBh6IwM?...

Will your cookout focus on the fantasy fare of one fine heritage? Or will it contain all the cuisine of your multiethnic cosmos? @tco-anthology.bsky.social

Big cooking holidays are upon us. While some people can whip up a feast for dozens the day of the cookout, some need to start well in advance. What's your @tco-anthology.bsky.social prep like? A Fridge of Holding to keep all your ingredients fresh? A time accelerator to roast meat in minutes?

Sometimes you want to try something new from Avant-Garde Android's Cookbook. Other times you curl into Cozy Fantasy Corner for your favorite safe food. What do you like bringing to the cookout? Something you never made before, or That One Dish everyone knows you for? @tco-anthology.bsky.social

What fantastical ingredients will be in your cookout story? @tco-anthology.bsky.social

I tried making beef stew, but the meat to vegetable ratio is 1:3 and counting. What do you think is the cause, @tco-anthology.bsky.social ? A replicator that prefers printing veg? A meat stealing sprite?

Let the bounty overflow! 🌊
