This godawful ad just gave me a scifi-horror idea. I might not even be scifi anymore though 💀

Get ready!

On hey would you like sapphic longing/enemies to lovers ? This way

Science fiction with magic-wielding Fae... or fantasy with futuristic tech? (yes) If you haven't yet, I'd love for you to read my @uncannymagazine.bsky.social story from earlier this year!

Would you like to read a story formatted as a series of Goodreads reviews about a mysterious author and his YA book series, queerness, and a friendship that spans decades?

trying something new...graphic design is pretty plainly NOT my passion, but you know what is my passion? This story I wrote about a prince of faerie's affair with Alan Turing. strangehorizons.com/wordpress/fi...

Reading 2025 fiction? Try the novelette"The Life and Times of Alavira the Great as Written by Titos Pavlou and Reviewed by Two Lifelong Friends" by Eugenia Triantafyllou @foxesandroses.bsky.social! You can read it here! buff.ly/FwwGhnb

Just a friendly reminder that I'll be at Main Point Books tonight at 6:30 pm with @timchawaga.bsky.social talking about his new novel, Salvagia! mainpointbooks.com/event/2025-1...

On August 12, 1971, 16-year-old me mailed the first story I ever wrote off on its first submission to my dream market, F&SF. My tale was quickly rejected. On July 17th, 2025, I finally sold a story to that magazine. Here's why I felt I had to withdraw that story. www.scottedelman.com/wordpress/20...

This is an absolutely gorgeous collection! Not only is Call and Response by @seraph76.bsky.social full of stunning fiction, it's a physically beautiful book too. Just look at the sprayed edges!

Convincing you to read the first lines of my novel WHAT THE WATERS GAVE US, which has been on sub (**waiting agony**), because I'd so love to find an editor for this weird lake eco-fantasy. Share yours!

Hi my peeps, a friend set this up—his SO is my roommate, full disclosure—for our mutual person who is really going through a rough patch, and now her grandmother is in hospice. 💔 Shares would be deeply appreciated, thank you in advance. 🖤🖤🖤 gofund.me/a1056c05d

Convincing you to read my novel with the first sentence. Share yours if you want. OK sure, it's a novella, but perhaps you would like to see the opening for THE DROWNED MAN'S DAUGHTER? bookshop.org/p/books/the-...

Really enjoyed chatting with Sean O'Connor at @macabredaily.bsky.social from a Marriott in Virginia where one of those pop-up carnivals was going full force in the parking lot outside 🎡 Come for Sean’s sweet horror art; stay for my mediocre hotel room art. Super fun one.

This looks really cool. Pre-ordering.

The Hugo 2025 red carpet pics are out. Where the fine art of smiling for the camera eludes me 💀

@niadavenport.bsky.social has been an incredible part of the SSF community. She's someone who has helped many others, including myself. Please donate, if you can, to help her and her family through this awful loss. www.gofundme.com/f/support-ni...

Grateful for coverage of THE DROWNED MAN'S DAUGHTER in Prairie Books Now! I say some stuff in here -- warning, spoilers for the ending: prairiebooksnow.ca/articles/vie...

fresh horror recs coming this Wednesday! don't miss out bc you missed a social media post; subscribe for free & refer back at your leisure -- these stories are must-reads 🦇⚡

The mood is procrastinate from doing things by doing other things, and so I guess some things get done but they are not the right things, oh well.

That's me! No flesh and bones, only vibes.

never let them convince you that reading is a waste of time or that reading physical books is replaceable. Physical books, zines, etc -- these are spaces where we cannot be monitored, where we can truly be w/our own thoughts for a gd min & make up our own minds. Of course that frightens them

Hi all, would you perchance like to read my book for free?

Greece closed up half the post offices and now I have to take two busses to get the packages. Today there was pouring rain. My face about the whole situation:

I always stall when I am about to write a new story. Part of it is fear that I will mess it up, part of it is that my brain needs breaks between stories (weeks or even months). But when I do sit down and start writing I remember that creating art is a major part of me being functional and balanced.

Don't take my word for it - I'm just a baby bird in this here Blue Sky Listen to Evan, he's been here for like at least 15 minutes You can trust him 👀

How about no.

As we near the end of the year, the last thing you might want is a big, chunky fantasy or science fiction book to drag into the new year. Good thing @bookjockeyalex.bsky.social's got 5 underrated novellas to recommend instead!

I was privileged to learn alongside Celeste at Clarion West and to read an early draft of this story. Her voice was exquisite. Let's make sure we hold her memory high

So sorry to hear that we've lost Celeste Rita Baker. I only got to publish her once, with "Glass Bottle Dancer" in LIGHTSPEED (which was selected for inclusion in Best American Science Fiction and Fantasy). www.lightspeedmagazine.com/fiction/glas.... RIP.

If you wrote an SF/F/H story that was published in 2025 (or read a story that you thought was great), tell me about it in this thread! Authors, also send your story to me here: johnjosephadams.com/basff-submis... (Please read the guidelines before submitting.)

Both of my collections are in this sale! And a bunch of my favorite books by my favorite authors.

A Megha story is always full of gorgeous language and surprises that will make your head spin and the story impossible to forget ❤️

I’m so out of it, my self-promo has plunged into a ravine of nothingness, even while I had a brand new story come out exactly two weeks ago in @blaft.bsky.social's deliciously bizarre new anthology, Bandigoat: A Collection of Strange & Horrible Tales! So let me tell you a little bit about it. 👁️🌿

Attention friends, writers, SFF lovers: "As The Earth Dreams" is launching November 13 at Harlem Restaurant in Toronto!

I have a new flash story out today! “How To Set Up Your Mourning Robot” is now free to read in @lightspeedmagazine.com! www.lightspeedmagazine.com/fiction/how-...

This is my only story coming out in 2025 thanks to some publishing date weirdness elsewhere, and I'm really happy with how it turned out. l have a soft spot for fiction & film about stage magic, and it was fun to play in that playground.

i have been DYING to share this cover for SO LONG so everyone please look at it and not my face.

Pre-order link before I forget!! www.barnesandnoble.com/w/mercutio-k...

Happy to announce I sold my scifi horror/satire novelette "The Snatchers" to @uncannymagazine.bsky.social! It’s a story inspired by “The Invasion of the Body Snatchers”. It sprang out of my literal nightmares about…everything. It's about those who snatch people and make them disappear.

On a planet damaged by rushed terraforming, a bodyguard-turned-reluctant rebel joins the last dregs of her parents’ failed uprising... THE KING MUST DIE is out today! If you love stories about found families, revolutions, and second chances, this book’s for you.

Also, the pre-order is on sale atm! Get it while it's hot!

I spent over a year of my life writing this collaborative craft book with eleven other (fantastic! talented! good-looking!) writers. "Sometimes a story emerges fully formed in your mind, and sometimes it’s an onion, requiring several ‘peels’ to get to the real, eye-watering heart of the matter."

I read this glorious collection by @vanessafogg.bsky.social who is one of my favorite short story writers. A collection that thrives in the negative space. In what the characters don’t say. Words missing or left untold. Connections waiting to be made. ✨
