I'm so slow, but NO ONE TO HOLD THE DISTANT DEAD by @klschroeder.bsky.social is a haunting elegiac wonder, a slow dream of empty skies that asks the only question worth asking- what is to be done?

"Let the dead rest, and fight for what we still might be able to save.”

Beautiful unflinching work

You can read part of my short fiction review for Locus Magazine at Locus Online! Featuring stories from @podcastle.org @castofwonders.org and @fantasymagazine.bsky.social !

Being in conversation with @rebeccaroanhorse.bsky.social felt like a gift for me as a writer and reader in this moment of rumours of war and unceasing terrible political news.
There may be some words in this conversation that offer your heart & imagination something more to hold onto too.

The Breeze & the Black Door - PSYCHOPOMP.COM I heard some movement at my front door / but it was just a storm.

"There’s nothing out there beyond the fence
except the old house and the woods.

Nothing to be scared of, I guess."

OUR FINAL piece of issue 41!

The Breeze & the Black Door by Mack W. Mani

“Inheritance is never clean. We gather too much over the course of a life, too many objects imbued with too many memories, to ever pass on an uncomplicated story to our descendants.”

This interview is one of my most honest and upfront. I also wax poetic a few times bc I’m old. Anyway, thank you Shingai Njeri Kagunda. Great questions!
