I could NOT be more excited for a sequel. FRIENDS you have just enough time to order @boriscrito.bsky.social EG Condé's Sordidez from @stelliform.press. You won't be **ready for this greatness, but you can at least prepare.

Thrilled to see 3 Stelliform authors and lots of friends on the TOC for the Year's Best Canadian F&SF volume 3! Find these works published by Stelliform in this year's Year's Best: "Our Time and Space" by @mahaila.bsky.social, and "Desolation Sounds" by @geoffreywcole.bsky.social 🎉

Reviewer Luke Sutherland loved WHAT A FISH LOOKS LIKE so much he gave it a star and asked author Syr Hayati Beker for a full interview feature. This interview is smart, funny, and incisive, much like Beker and their debut novella. Find it here: www.forewordreviews....

An update for our American friends re: shipping books from Canada to the US. We really held out as long as we could on this decision, hoping that logic and neighbourliness would prevail. We did a ton of research into trade agreement compliance, and other shipping options. We hope you understand.

My first novel THE JAGUAR MASK came out a year ago this week from @stelliform.press. Among other things it’s a book about what it takes to acknowledge the brutal fascist repression in the room, turn into a jaguar, and start ripping some of it to shreds www.stelliform.press/index.php/pr...

These new environmental poetry collections from @stelliform.press @univnebpress.bsky.social @graywolfpress.bsky.social @faberbooks.bsky.social @penguinbooksusa.bsky.social and others include some of our favorite books of the year so far. therevelator.org/environmenta...

From @thecityandthecitybooks: Come join us on Monday, Sept 15th to The Hearty Hooligan to discuss ORIGINS OF DESIRE IN ORCHID FEN by Lynn Hutchinson Lee. ... It is one of my favourite books I have read all year and can't wait to talk to more people about it.

The graphics heavy layout of WHAT A FISH LOOKS LIKE gives the story its feeling of a community coming together, all contributing to a book that gets passed around during a season of wildfires, floods, and more. These three illustrations are a selection of the art by Zeph Fishlyn.

"It's our task to placate the Ancient Ones. As it's yours to be offered up to them. Forgive us. And let us get it over with." If you know this quote, you'll love these recs Here's you Cabin Horror TBR - Day 1 @ghoulish.bsky.social @hedonebooks.bsky.social @stelliform.press @regalhouse.bsky.social
