Make a Bond movie casual AlmostFall

massive attack is misnamed they should really have been called gentle approach thank you I'll be here all week

Author Aidan Moher (@aidanmoher.com) shared his Top 10 Games of 2025 and a whole lot more! Also shouts out to anyone that mentions Vagrant Story on their list. giantbomb.com/articles/aid...

If you own a Switch 2 and want to play the dynamite roguelike Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles game I worked on then today is your day. And hey maybe help spread the word for me??

My goal is to get into a regular rhythm with my writing in 2026. Somehow I finished some stories this year, but with a fits-and-start slapdashery. I'm not saying "write everyday" because I've never been that kind of writer, but I intend to carve out space and time for writing to occur.

Someone decided Miami was cool again because 2026 is looking like a great year of Live Music. I just snagged tickets to Interpol in March (they haven't been down here in years!) and also this week got tickets to see FKA TWIGS, the avant-pop phenom, the following weekend.

We're reopening to submissions on January 1st. Writers, ready your most depressing, unnerving, dislocating, horrible stories.

I finally got around to putting together my own eligibility post for 2025. Here's what I published this year and where you can find it! acwise.net/award-eligib...

Some stories to look forward to in the new year..

I don't know who is mashing up Hamilton songs with Stranger Things S5 footage but I am LOVING IT.

ICYMI!

I'm thrilled to share the cover of the first issue of NAT20 magazine from Demagogue Press. A unique concept where playable games and stories inspired by those games will share the same space. Aiming for a Spring 2026 release. I'll have more to say in the future, but for now, check out the cover!

Since I've been proseltyzing about small presses, I should note how important they were to Carol Emshwiller's career: Mercury, Small Beer, Tachyon, etc. Need a small press book to support? Try 2025's blockbuster from @thirdmanbooks.bsky.social MOON SONGS! www.thirdmanbooks.com/catalog/moon...

THE WRITHING, VERDANT END IS OUT TODAY!!!!!! Need some weird weird eco-horror in your life? Then look no further than this little split collection from @ericraglin1992.bsky.social, @tiffmorris.bsky.social, and me!!!

I think it's time to add a 2026 section to my website.* *this post inspired by something AWESOME I just saw.

This story is so close to my heart, a speculative memoir based on my mom:

Check it out! We're increasing our author pay rates and announcing a "solarpunk horror" issue.

In case you missed it yesterday, I have a new story in the December issue of The Dark, exploring the horrors of high school. www.thedarkmagazine.com/most-likely-...

We don't often hear love stories at Story Hour, and we were touched and delighted to hear a witty one from @jamesrgapinski.bsky.social and a poignant one from @jennahanchey.bsky.social. There may not be an HEA in each, but each is a beautiful journey. You can still watch! youtu.be/x-smgKI_heE

Got mine yesterday! Can't wait to dig into it.

And please haunt us regularly, as we're still in the process of adding hordes of new books weekly, and new publishers and writers daily! We just finished adding Jackanapes Press's catalog after recovering from our leftover turkey coma last night.

It's fantastic to have a new resource for new and upcoming books, readings, and events in the indie horror space.

More points for No Time To Die: Billie Elish understood the assignment. Wow! youtu.be/83YuaW09ueI?...

Space Cowboy Books has just launched Electronic Brain magazine bookshop.org/a/197/978196...

I have now rewatched all five of the Daniel Craig-era Bond movies for no reason. My thoughts: The connective thread between the films is quite engaging. Many storylines lead directly from one narrative to the next and while every film is self-sufficent, they work better as a real series. (more?)

The biggest sin these movies commited is clearly rejecting Radiohead's "Spectre" after asking them to write a song for a Bond movie. Here's the credits with the intended song. I think it's brilliant. youtu.be/COP0XlYHvto?...

Inspired by RPGs of the '90s, Quartet is Something Classic's proof that they've grown up and become more confident with age, and that there's room for continued growth to match their ambition. Our review: https://www.rpgsite.net/review/18986-quartet-review

Enticing you this week with a look at our AaN Press covers over the years. Orders for the holiday season are appreciated - aanpress.com/aanorder.html

Looking forward to Trump's 28-point plan regarding health insurance that will definitely NOT be written by health insurance companies.

Finally added 2025 eligibility to my website, with a couple of flash & short stories at the top & my full 2025 bibliography below. I'd be honored if you consider any of these for your awards noms. ☺️

Putting this together was heartening. I'd honestly forgotten that some of these were 2025. In a tough year, I really needed to reflect on my #writing wins. What's not pictured? All the other amazing stories I wrote! (Stay tuned for 2026+?) If you want to nominate anything, I won't stop you. 😘🖤

ICYMI, I list my publications for 2025 below!

fyi @thedeadlands.com will be open to fiction submissions from Dec 1 to Dec 31, so maybe you want to put that on your calendar and study the guidelines and ring out this horrible year making something beautiful. psychopomp.com/the-deadland...

2025 was a banner year for publications for me. 12 stories, including four micro fiction pieces (not listed in the image below just for space issues!). I threw together a quick image and I'll link to the stories if anybody wants to read what I've been up to this year.

In light of the astronomical increases for my health insurance next year, I thought it would be a good time to encourage people to subscribe. (A few hundred should cover it. Sigh.) clarkesworldmagazine.com/subscribe/
