An unprecedented happening: I came out of a heat wave with a massive CFS/ME flare that kept me mostly in bed for 10 days. Then I came out* of the CFS/ME flare with a full first draft of an unplanned novel. *not really, I'm still in the flare, but the novel is a real thing that did come out of it
Just a little over $2000 to go before we're FULLY FUNDED! We're down to the wire folks, with about three days to go, so let's get this over the hump and across the finish line! 🙌

This story really messed me up! Another one that I knew I had to have for the issue before I had even finished reading it. Wondrous, awful stuff.

I am absolutely in love with the way this story mingles the sublime and the grotesque"
I'm so excited to have a story in this issue! I grew up reading and being altered by Moore's stories in my parents' motley and battered collection of old SFF anthologies so it's very special to me to get to be part of a tribute to her.
