Had the opportunity to read an early copy! Trying to think of how to do describe without spoiling. Great SF story with interesting storytelling angles and a real propulsive momentum to it. I'm not usually a novel reader these days, and I plowed right through it. Worth checking out/pre-ordering.

It's my great pleasure to announce the authors and their works selected for "The Best Weird Fiction of the Year, Vol. 2." Thank you to all the writers, editors, and publishers who sent in work for consideration. The print edition is now up for pre-order. undertowpublications.com/shop/best-we...

i'll never pretend i was good at mario kart, that's a promise

Stop what you’re doing and buy this book. @thomasha.bsky.social has done something really remarkable with this collection!

Una colección excelente, de uno de los autores que estoy convencida más va a dar que hablar en los próximos años. Y a este precio está regalada. Si os gusta la fantasía tirando a oscura y raruna, ¡aprovechad!

Also the winner of the Gillan Award for Best Foreword I’ve Written

Loved this collection, Uncertain Sons is fantastic, and you should read it

This is an award-winning collection by @thomasha.bsky.social (published by @undertow.bsky.social) that you absolutely MUST NOT MISS - and at just $4 for the ebook, this is the time to pick it up. #horror #ShortStories

A nice shoutout for the "Uncertain Sons" novelette and collection, and a first: a rec for the Scion Afterword as its own mysterious found-document standalone. Listen, if you don't like the novella that goes w/ it just hang out with the supplemental docs at the end. That's fine by me too.

you know what, if you're going to make any changes to the gameplay, make the OoT water temple even more frustrating, let's double down, let's go

So happy to see my story His Most Feared Constellation on this list! ICYMI, I'm posting a link to the story again! www.thedarkmagazine.com/his-most-fea...

Big shout out to the STP team James, Rebecca, and Karlo by the way. I started this thing solo four years ago with no expectation it would go anywhere and it somehow found an audience. Now there are four of us keeping the ship steady and I'm so grateful for everything they do to keep the mag going ❤️

Just received this - the Art of @alexries.com from @ironcircuscomics.bsky.social - just absolutely blown away by so much beautiful art. I got it as a KS reward but it's available commercially now - for example www.waterstones.com/book/other-w...

Hey ho, look at all this. Pretty good. Might be your jam, and we have the ebook on sale for just $4. undertowpublications.com/ebooks/uncer...

I was really psyched to get a name check from @keithrosson.bsky.social in his recent interview on the Horror Joy podcast! Also just a really great talk about Keith’s take on horror and his creative process, esp. Coffin Moon. Listen here: www.redcircle.com/shows/979960... 1/2

Celebrating MUÑECA by @cynthiasaysboo.bsky.social with @tamikathompson.bsky.social at @pegasusbooks.bsky.social! Talked about autonomy, disability, the East Bay in the sixties, and fairy tales. Whew, if ever a book sounded made for me, it’s this one.

1. Nothing 2. Nothing 3. Nothing 4. Nothing 5. Nothing 6. Absolutely nothing

Halfway through @premeemohamed.com’s new fantasy spy novel, and I cannot stress enough how good it is. Premee is one of the best in the game; there are things in this book I have never encountered in the genre, and my reader’s heart is DELIGHTED. You know what they say, preorders light the way! 💜

Happy to announce that my picture book The Fib was named to the Best Children's Books 2026 list by the Children's Book Committee from the Bank Street College of Education! It was also named a Kids Favorite and Librarian Favorite by the Children's Book Council & a Foreword INDIES Honorable Mention.
