Started reading it for the first time recently!

This is a scroll-stopping post. Must put aside all else to read with the care it deserves!

Mark your calendars or drop a silver dollar in the swamp so the chronotoads whisper a reminder to you while you sleep.

Like a much more elegant, habitable Martello Tower!

One of the best titles for any class I can remember seeing!

My favorite ILL moment was requesting a portable planetarium, which they were able to fulfill. There's no feeling quite like walking out of the library with a planetarium under your arm.

“The past is a new organ which ensues from the language that is taught to the newborn. When combined with the written page, it opens up a new space we call history.”

— Pascal Quignard, The Fount of Time (tr. Chris Turner)

The cover of Every Galaxy a Circle by Chloe N Clark. It is in shades of greens and pinks, depicting abstract planets flying through the night sky.

Interested in interviewing me about my upcoming book, Every Galaxy a Circle? I can talk about writing speculative fiction, why short stories are the best, monsters, baking, outer space, and more. Wow what an interviewer's dream!

Gormenghast!!!! The mere mention brings on many memories of reading to my daughter!

Awesome, congrats!

First off: a flash fiction weekend

It's like their speed of light--the Theory of Special Ghost Relativity.

That's wild! You need to find some blue upholstery!

Maybe there should be a special Heist Tie-in Edition!

Fascinating--thanks for sharing this!

Love that John Edgar Wideman story "Williamsburg Bridge" that makes reference to Sonny's playing there.

Absolutely the same here. For me it is like watching a limited series. By game/episode four I start to feel like I really know the characters, and I'm like, "How are they possibly going to end this in a satisfying way?!"

At least we can all agree which was the MVC (Most Valuable Cleat) in the series, right?

Feel like people aren't making enough of the fact that there's a greater than zero chance this World Series never ends.

Alas, alas. Wishing you serendipitous supplies of produce to see you through the winter months!

And basically this sounds like a chapter from Samanta Schweblin's (very unnerving) Little Eyes.

Great haul! We're fortunate in that ours goes indoors during winter months.

What's remarkable is how every attempt to make these more personal and idiosyncratic screams AI that much more loudly.

Just started digging into these!

Wonderful! Excited for the book!

On the Art (and Artifice) of the Miniature The Kitchen It starts here: in the kitchen. Not a full-size kitchen, of course, but rather a miniature replica of a kitchen, a tiny kitchen with a tiny table where two tiny dolls sit, blank-eyed an…

I’ve always been fascinated by miniatures, and I really appreciate @literaryhub.bsky.social for letting me go long and weird on tiny things, from murder dollhouses to shrinking people to the worlds of Wes Anderson lithub.com/on-the-art-a...

Italo Calvino was born 102 years ago today. He was a writer of delights, a fighter of fascism, and possessor of a mind always curious and subtle. Although he died in 1985, he was so far ahead of his times that his work feels like a map of our Invisible Cities and a guide to our Crossed Destinies.

Happy pub days live here--can't wait to read Amber Sparks's new novel!

Soooo looking forward to this!

This is incredible!
