Congratulations to all those who made the final ballot for the 2025 Bram Stoker Awards! I'm particularly pleased eight of them have previously dined with me on my Eating the Fantastic podcast. I invite you to learn more about these creators by eavesdropping as we chat and chew. pod.link/1083737796

Photos of those guests in two rows and four columns stripped across the middle of the Eating the Fantastic icon, with the logo and the top of a flying saucer visible above, and part of a chicken leg and donut visible below. The guests captured eating are Cynthia Pelayo, Silvia Moreno-Garcia, Craig Laurance Gidney, Brian Keene, A. C. Wise, Linda Addison, John Langan, and Lee Murray.

I'm seeing a lot of microaggression around the BAFTA/Tourette's outburst, mostly of the "you people use the word all the time, so why are you offended" kind. I understand that it's a complex, nuanced issue. But that does not undo the humiliation and dehumanizing position it places upon Black people.

Happy release day to this wonderful tribute anthology! There's a story of mine in it, titled «On Her Head a Crown of Twelve Stars». I am glad readers keep finding Tanith Lee's works and that we fans keep finding each other to celebrate her legacy.

Between a pixel still life and a Japanese plate with bunnies jumping in the moonlight, a papertrade book. The cover shows the title in lavender lettering: «Storyteller: A Tanith Lee Tribute Anthology». Stories by C. S. E. Cooney, Maya Deane, Andy Duncan, Theodora Goss, C. L. Hellisen, Getty Hesse, Alaya Dawn Johnson, Nisi Shawl, Martha Wells. Edited by Julie C. Day with Carina Bissett and Craig Laurance Gidney. Over a pale forest background, a slender and unclothed winged humanoid figure made of shells and botanical elements walks on two legs over a fire that reaches their knees.
