I've had some more inquiries about being added to the SF & Horror starter pack. If you aren't on this list and should be, let me know! go.bsky.app/MBKtAz2

OBVIOUSLY.

We should be two “D&D Honor Among Thieves” sequels deep.

Here’s the audio from the May 13th Fantastic Fiction at KGB, with guests Siobhan Carroll & Micaiah Johnson. Two great readings to a good crowd. @siobhancarroll.bsky.social @micaiahjohnson.bsky.social @datlow.bsky.social www.kgbfantasticfiction.org/2026/05/31/a...

Authoritarian regimes benefit from people who are not smart enough to get promoted in traditional ladders but ambitious enough to commit crimes in their efforts to get ahead. Regimes give them a path. As we reduce education, as we reduce real opportunities, we are creating perfect conditions.

Actually, Democracy Dies in H.R.

Maybe I shouldn't have scheduled my students to read SCHOOL FOR GOOD MOTHERS directly after the beautifully meditative PIRANESI. "This book is ragebait!" one student declared of SCHOOL. I don't disagree.

Head's up, Philly-area eco-people.

I've been teaching Susanna Clarke's PIRANESI this week and my God, what a lovely, lovely book. As the world gets progressively madder and more anxious, it's been a pleasure to return to its peaceful halls. If you haven't read this splendid fantasy novel yet, do yourself a favor and pick it up.

I'm delighted to report I have a very 19C Irish Gothic story in this very Halloween-ish anthology coming out later this year! I'm looking forward to reading the whole thing.

Had my first time teaching GIDEON THE NINTH to undergrads last week. Thankfully, they seemed to like it! I'm looking forward to hearing their thoughts on bodies & spaces as we get to the "mystery" section of the novel.

A great deal on my ghostly collection! 💀💀💀

I have a story coming out in Ellen Datlow's forthcoming All Hallows Eve anthology! (It arrives Sept 2026, in time for next Halloween). I'm most curious about Josh Malerman's story. I loved BIRDBOX and I want what he does at short-story length. Pre-orders below the TOC: tinyurl.com/zujhc67a

I picked up this collection after reading Thomas Ha’s wonderful “window boy” last year. I’m only partway through reading the collection but can confirm that the first three stories are bangers. Ha has a knack for weird, surreal, and psychologically complex storytelling.

Does anyone have any recommendations for Neo-Victorian *short stories* I could assign in a class? #NeoVictorian #ShortFiction

sorry to be this asshole but I am once again asking all of you to read a second Yeats poem

I love these anthologies. Looking forward to reading "Lullaby," Marie!

Marie Croke@mariecroke.bsky.social · last yr.

Just a reminder that i have a story in this upcoming Best Of Anthology! "A Lullaby of Anguish," about our obsession with buying and selling and displaying anguish, and two sisters who were caught in that life

My post #WorldCon plane book was Anne de Marcken’s It Lasts Forever and Then It’s Over- a literary zombie novel using undead bodies as a metaphor for grief. It's short, spare, & poetic, with allusions to Judith Butler & Djuna Barnes. Liked it. Not sure I got everything it was doing on this read.
