2026 is almost here & so are some amazing books. I had a fear that 2025 had truly spoilt us in terms of books but as I started building the 2026 list, there were so many books that I am now properly primed for 2026 vinayvasan.substack.com/p/26-for-2026

Com certeza, "Bem mal me quer" da @hachepueyo.bsky.social foi uma das favoritas do ano <3 Falei dessa leitura lá na VAL!

Three months until CABARET IN FLAMES hits the shelves! I've been posting more consistently on Instagram (including a snippet right now), but here are the ARCs of both the US and UK editions.

Please help Hammam's family survive Israel's ongoing genocide. Palestinians have been left to die homeless & starving in brutal winter, & the recent storm has flooded the camps & destroyed what shelter they have:

Please help Mohammed's family survive, they've been left to die homeless & starving in brutal winter. Support is very low since the 'ceasefire':

Please share & give to help Hamza's family survive Israel's genocide in Gaza. Palestinians have been left homeless & starving in winter cold:

Esses dias recebi o ARC de Cabaret in Flames (que chiqueee), o novo livro de @hachepueyo.bsky.social que está saindo pela Tor. Para quem não sabe, a história é uma versão ampliada da noveleta Cabaré em Chamas, publicada em janeiro de 2020 pela Revista Mafagafo!

And here are some of the great things (not all!) that I read this year and that I think deserve consideration: But Not Too Bold, by @hachepueyo.bsky.social, also as novella. It's a sapphic monster romance story. torpublishinggroup.com/but-not-too-...

If you're new here, I have: 🕷️ BUT NOT TOO BOLD, a short novella about a monstrous spider woman, published this year by Tor & 🩸 CABARET IN FLAMES, an upcoming novella available for pre-order on Tor/Titan Books You can find them in any bookshop, or order on the link below: linktr.ee/hachepueyo

I've been having lots of Spider Folk thoughts recently -- not the Marvel, Sony, or Puig kind, just free and independent ones -- so it was such a pleasure to read this incredible novella by one of my new favorite authors @hachepueyo.bsky.social But Not Too Bold torpublishinggroup.com/but-not-too-...

Alright y'all. This is finally happening.

Please help Lubna's family survive Israel's continuing genocide by sharing & donating. Like so many Palestinians, she & her children are very sick & unable to find or afford proper treatment under the hellish conditions Israel has imposed:

Please share & give to help little Hassan's family keep him alive through Israel's continuing genocide. Donations have slowed since the 'ceasefire', & Palestinian babies like Hassan are still critically malnourished & ill with no respite. No donations for a day:

I just want to go aaaah about the cover art of my new book, by Galen Dara. It actually wraps all the way around and I heeeear it is also on the inside cover (I haven't gotten my author copies yet, but I hope to be taking pics once I can!!!).

It's my birthday. The best birthday present you can give a writer is buying/borrowing/reading their books. This one's a mythic realist tale of a fading extradimensional diaspora set in 90s/00s Calcutta. It won a British Fantasy & Subjective Chaos Kind of Award:

One of the most underrated forces in literature: valuing and desiring different meaning than another creator, and with the other creator's work clarifying your vision for you, thus creating your own thing that pursues your passion. It comes in many flavors. Spite (pictured below) works.

Palestinian families like Mohammed's are being bombed, displaced, & starved to death in Israel's genocide. Please help by sharing & donating if you can:

Wow I'm actually on time for a #portfolioday , the miracles never cease.

A reprint of my (very short) story "Bitter Orange Perfume" just came out on Small Wonders! 🍊

It’s been a challenging time in short fiction lately for a number of reasons. It’s the stories that lift my mood—even when they’re dark. This one’s been getting a lot of love from readers and peers. I did my best to give it a hopeful note. If you haven’t read it yet, click the link.

Last month I had a story come out in Strange Horizons about the things that have taken from us and that are still being taken and the sad empty things we’re offered in their places. It’s not a happy story but I hope you might find something in it you’re looking for.
