This story is also the kickoff story for my collection of short fiction which was released last year from @underlandpress.bsky.social. THE WORLD OUTSIDE collects 21 stories from 20 years of publishing in the science fiction, fantasy, horror, and literary genres.

Interesting story mash-up. And I can't help but notice that it seems to prefigure the "man or bear" debate.

“This book kinda wrecked me.” “…completely bananapants…” “I inhaled this.” “…shook me to my core…” “…morbid and twisted…” “…had me reeling.” “…if I were currently in a book club, this would be my entry.” a.co/d/2783VPN www.barnesandnoble.com/w/?ean=97988... Thnx! @gabino.bsky.social 🖤🙏

Thanks, Gabino! 🙏🏼 #Pyres is staying at its current low price of $2.99/£1.99 for just one more week, so I'd love readers to grab it for a bargain price and see what fiery rage against injustice looks like Books2read.com/pyresnovel

have you heard about my latest? BURN UP IN VICTORY is about dueling for any reason you can think of, day after day and night after night, in a magical city where money barely matters when there is such power to be had books2read.com/burnupinvict...

I wrote a whole series in the margins of compositions books in elementary school. It was called "Body Wars" and it was basically if Innerspace met Dino Riders with shades of GI Joe.

ICYMI, I had a new podcast appearance this week. This was my 12th publication this year!

Jules, the main character of Exit Ghost, is a witch the "magic system" is knowledge gleaned from other users who learned from other users, and the right books books2read.com/ExitGhost jenniferrdonohue.itch.io/exit-ghost

Happy New Tame Impala Day for anyone that celebrates.

This week's Story Hour brought us extraordinary horrors. Gemma Files read us the world debut of a tale about the all-consuming power of lies, and M.L. Krishnan drew us into the wrenching "Interstate Mohinis." You can still watch! @gemmafiles.bsky.social @emelkrishnan.bsky.social youtu.be/jQzl1-qZPOw

In my Voyager rewatch, I reached the famous episode featuring a cameo by "The Rock." At the time, this felt like a shameless ploy to bring up the profile of the fledgling Star Trek series. And so I was dreading the episode, knowing it was coming up soon. I was surprised to see not one but two...

For the night crowd

<totters out onto porch> <settles into rocker> <thumps cane a few times> Let's talk about what the process of submitting short fiction used to look like, shall we? And about what it looks like now.

I'm excited to share my 12th publication of 2025 later today. Good writing year. :)

The light is on for Leigh Loveday! @leighloveday.bsky.social💡 “Under Aegis” is a breathtaking story of loss and rage that breathes new life into old mythology. Check out Leigh’s incredible writing over at the site!

Announcing our first open call for 2026 - "Tea or Coffee, Stars, and Gravity" which will ask for hard SF stories with tea or coffee, stars, and gravity all playing a prominent narrative role. Info here - aanpress.com/submissions.... Important: Be sure to read the cover page to the PDF.

Have you read my story "Dybbuk-Draw" over at Kaleidotrope?

As I read the final book in Elena Ferrante's masterpiece, the Neapolitan Quartet, I'm amazed at the way the intersecting relationships, lifelong and pock-marked with passions, are colliding in this book. Like laylines underneath the Earth, the currents of violence and secrets creep towards...

I’ve become such a huge fan of Paul’s writing. His horror style is truly unsettling. This book sounds like another amazing addition to his twisted oeuvre.

Wait, Cancer Eats the Heart shares a book birthday with Ozzy's last book, Last Rites? That's pretty fucking epic
