A little outside my usual style and genre, I have a literary fiction story (about baseball — kind of) out in the Twin Bill’s All-Star issue. Really love the original art by Dominick Porto that accompanies the story, too. Captures its feeling really well. thetwinbill.com/what-happens...

The Final Chronicle of Yeneh is out today! A genre-bender full of sentient alien plants & portal fantasy adventure. A duke’s granddaughter rushes to discover the truth about her planet’s native life before her family's terraforming wipes it out. www.jomiles.com/yeneh #booksky #newrelease

Congratulations to all the Shirley Jackson Award winners, nominees, and esteemed judging panel. locusmag.com/2026/07/2025...

New story up at ergot. What if an insular patriarchal cargo cult founded on the New Testament epistles and a few soggy bits of Peter Pan were sacrificing its children to endless war with the birds? What if not all the middle kids and archaeopteryxes follow the script? www.ergot.press/authors/S.L....

I always love Maria's reviews & I love it even more when one of my stories is included! Thanks to @mariahaskins.com for reading & @flashfictiononline.bsky.social for publishing!

STP Issue #14 is out! With stories about eating children; guys turning into telephones; malignant grimoires; 'The Connoisseur'; and resurrecting the 9/11 hijackers in order to publicly execute them.

Writing tip: Give your protagonist a pet cat. In the final pages, shift to the cat's point of view. Follow the cat outside, through moonlit woods, to a pasture where cows kneel in worship around a glowing spacecraft. As the cat trots up its gangway, we glimpse in the windows an all-cat crew.

My story---We Whose Fathers Have Transformed into Wild Animals of the Land, Sea, and Sky---is free to read now. You should read it. It's about masculinity and queerness and anger and grief, and what we inherit from our fathers. and there's a bunch of animals in it havenspec.com/fiction/we-w...

This is such a cool thing to do, and, man, what an artist! Also, this story, like usual, is phenomenal. Everyone should read it ASAP.

It was an honor to make this piece for ‘Our Revels Are Now Ended’ (and as you can probably tell I had a ton of fun working on it). It’s a brilliant short story and I can’t recommend you read it highly enough!

The 5th story in Saros SF #5 is "[Redacted]" by @spencerwriting.bsky.social Editor @arielmarkenjack.bsky.social says it "pulls off the magic trick of doing something formally clever without straying from the goal of building up to a hefty wallop of emotional impact."

NEW STORY DAY! “Ghost in the Tank” is out now at @lightspeedmagazine.com! It’s about giant mechs and censorship by tech companies and getting punched in the face and desperate queer shame and all the ugliest intersections of technology and culture. I think it’s my best work. I hope you love it.

I have a complete vibes only hypothesis that its rise is related to Internet Interfaces constantly asking for valid inputs—valid email, valid phone number, valid password formar, valid zip code + The dataification of everything means we’re constantly concerned are we legible/valid data to systems

Insightful words from an amazing author on the Weird

You need to read the rest of the preceding thread for this to make sense contextually, but this made something whir in my brain.

Spencer gets it

Neat thread. "Realism"--in film, in narration, etc., etc.--is a magic trick. It's the opposite of unmediated--an artifice designed to produce the *appearance* of the real. And this isn't a bad thing. It's unavoidable, a fundamental part of how representation and expression work!

Excellent excellent, got some fantasy in the sci-fi, got some sci-fi in the fantasy, carry on

I'm extremely grateful to Typebar Magazine for publishing my writing and would love to see them become sustainable, so consider subscribing!

When I was trying to be a Serious Actor(tm) and training at a conservatory years ago, we had an instructor who had us create, what was essentially a stage version of a music video. We'd been neck deep in a bunch of experimental and movement-based practices (Viewpoints, Suzuki, biomechanics)...

I have a new story out today in @uncannymagazine.bsky.social! “Magical Girl Eater” is one of my oldest shorts (I wrote the first draft back in 2021!) and it's about what it means to become "anything the fans want," even if that's... www.uncannymagazine.com/article/magi...

I also did an interview about this story where I talked about the commoditization of nostalgia (hello $10,000 designer Sailor Moon bags) and list some of my favorite flash stories (incl. @rachaelkjones.bsky.social, @spencerwriting.bsky.social, @seanbirnie.bsky.social, and other fantastic writers!)
