Please help us congratulate Caleb Sierra on the publication of his novella, THE WETWORKS MIRACLE, which is out today! Truly one of the weirdest and coolest little books we've published. Pick up a copy from us or wherever books are sold. All Stelliform Press ebooks are $5 on our site!

Promotional graphic on a black background with green tree roots. Large text reads “OUT NOW,” followed by the Stelliform Press logo and “AVAILABLE EVERYWHERE.” Beside it is the green illustrated cover of THE WETWORKS MIRACLE by Caleb Sierra, featuring a many-limbed creature holding an ink well and a knife. Reviews read: “A visceral nightmare wrought with grisly precision and sickening beauty.” – E.G. Condé, author of SORDIDEZ. “A harrowing journey through a world that grows more strangely beautiful with each page.” – Cynthia Gómez, author of MUÑECA and THE NIGHTMARE BOX AND OTHER STORIES. “This book was ... entirely enthralling. I loved it.” – Sound & Fury Book Reviews.

LOOK. I said @tkrex.bsky.social's WILDCRAFT DRONES out of @stelliform.press is one of the best books I've read in forever. I meant it. If you're into hope, or joy, if you're into a future in which we belong, heists, dolphins, love, wild things - if you have a heart at all. This is your read.

Stelliform Press@stelliform.press · 3mo ago

Stelliform authors are reading & loving T. K. Rex's THE WILDCRAFT DRONES! We've started to ship books out to folks who pre-ordered today.

Top left: teal forest background with text “Stelliform Authors Read The Wildcraft Drones” and the book cover, featuring a red, nautilus-like organism in beams of light. Cover by Julia Louise Perreira. Top right: “Rex waxes between techno-optimism and incisive critique, narrating a future where ecological renewal is framed as a multispecies collaboration rather than a mere techno-fix.” — E. G. Condé, author of Sordidez. Bottom left: “The Wildcraft Drones made me cry with relief. This book accomplishes an incredible affirmation of life without looking away from its horrors.” — Michael J. DeLuca, author of The Jaguar Mask. Bottom right: “T.K. Rex’s The Wildcraft Drones carbon-captured my heart. It’s a rewilding playbook for unruly life forms, towards a future in which we all belong.” — Syr Hayati Beker, author of What a Fish Looks Like.
