Really loved this story that won this year's Hugo for best short story. Unique magic powers, family, revenge, a helluva fight.

@bookjockeyalex.bsky.social is recommending a body horror summer camp, a Carmilla retelling, and a cursed postman (and many more). Which of August's must-read SFF short stories will you pick up first? reactormag.com/must-read-sh...

With all of the things burning around me, I often worry about not doing enough. Years ago, some dear friends reminded me about how important Uncanny Magazine is to people during one of my laments about this. They’re right. Creating art and getting it to folks who need it is always so fucking vital.

Attention! Attention! Free Silvia Moreno-Garcia work from Uncanny Magazine! Woooo hoooooo! www.uncannymagazine.com/article/the-...

Happy Birthday!!!

The Fox is free! Today my debut, Audition For The Fox, is officially out in the world. Magic. Fables. Time travel. And the many ways even a goofball can resist oppression & fight tyranny. Thank you to everyone who had a paw in bringing this into the world & supporting it. Forever grateful, I am 🦊💜

contract is signed! I sold an essay to Uncanny Magazine!! Bucket list checked! 🖤🥳🤯💃

This is how I know about the AI submissions. Uncanny Magazine doesn't use an AI detector. I also want to clarify again that I am not banning anybody unless there is *proof* AI was used. Mostly, this is just annoying and adds time to processing the submission pile.

New story day! "If a Digitized Tree Falls" is my latest collaboration with @kyliu99.bsky.social, an exploration of technologies that bridge the divide between digital and physical, with a focus on environmental themes. Now up at @reactorsff.bsky.social! reactormag.com/if-a-digitiz...

Uncanny Magazine received 2800 short story submissions. It does seem that we are still getting AI subs. (Sadly, no shock there.) I can buy 15-20 stories for Year 12.

My midweek blog leads on the release today of Gnomes of Lychford! (And the many Nessie signings coming up!) www.paulcornell.com/2025/09/gnom...

Unveiling the cover for THE DRAGON HAS SOME COMPLAINTS! Garrodigh is a curmudgeonly three-headed dragon who pretends to be tame so he can eat for free at the local dragon-riding academy. Unfortunately, the rider he's assigned to is... a lot. Coming Summer 2026 from DAW (US) and Arcadia (UK)!

New @sharonshinnauthor.bsky.social book!

Heads-up, writers of speculative fiction! 🌖 🌗 🌑 This is the LAST day to submit short stories to @uncannymagazine.bsky.social

Uncanny Magazine closes to short story submissions TODAY! When September 8 is finished everywhere on the planet, the submission portal will be closed!

MONDAY is the last day!!! 😁🦄

If you need something to listen to today, “The Caravan” is a wonderful tale. Check it out.

Catching up on my podcasts as work has me closer to home than usual. Go check out @uncannymagazine.bsky.social 's pod this month, the poem “Dreamscape with the Devil” by Dr. Taylor Byas is sublime. The imagery my brain concocted during the reading was amazing.

I haven’t been reading novels as much this year, but I’ve been thrilled with the short story scene. Uncanny Magazine has been particularly enjoyable. I sent Cat Valente’s “When He Calls Your Name” to friends and family who don’t follow the genre, and they loved it…

And there is an interview in the podcast by @michaeldthomas.bsky.social with @anamariacurtis.bsky.social telling us where this story came from. www.uncannymagazine.com/article/unca...

Listened to "The Caravan" by @anamariacurtis.bsky.social from @uncannymagazine.bsky.social 66. Very interesting story that left me hungry for more about this world and the characters. www.uncannymagazine.com/article/the-...

Excited to announce that I have an essay, “Solace in Fantasy Monster Romances and My Trans Body,” in the newest @uncannymagazine.bsky.social www.uncannymagazine.com/issues/uncan... My essay will be free in October, but you can purchase the entire issue now! Thanks to the Uncanny team! 🌌🦄

If you enjoyed my short story, "Deconstruction in the Form of a Cat God", @uncannymagazine.bsky.social just published my essay about my faith journey complete with cats, figuring out my faith, and a bonus rumination on what following love looks like when horrible stuff happens unexpectedly.

Congrats! Looking forward to reading. I love novellas.
