Talk yourself into preordering this book. It's not out for a month, which means future-you will have just enough time to forget why you preordered it and just receive it as a shocking and marvelous gift from past-you.
You will not be normal about this book. But then we can talk about it together.

I keep trying to write a little thing about the book, but the problem is that my statement on the book is the book itself, and any reading of it I give would be lesser instantiations of its ideas. So instead I want to do a thread about all the book's non-literary inspirations.
I'm absolutely thrilled to see Storyteller: A Tanith Lee Tribute Anthology make the finalist list for the Locus Awards! An enormous congratulations to all my fellow finalists. It’s amazing to be in such great company! locusmag.com/2026/04/2026...

Thank you!
sad I can’t make it in person but look at this incredible line up with @jeannethornton.bsky.social @mayadeane.bsky.social @olivasthewriter.bsky.social
The mark Tanith Lee left is wide & deep. My hope is that Storyteller maps a bit of that landscape for those who were unaware and that the wonderful stories found within the book find many readers! @clhellisen.bsky.social @mayadeane.bsky.social @carinabissett.bsky.social @ethereallad.bsky.social

this was the day the good Jeanne was trapped. this was the evil Jeanne's moment.
This is my time. At no point previous have I existed, and now I am at the height of my powers. It's a good time to make the earth tremble and the stars rain down.
I'm so glad! This is absolutely what I set out to do--people exoticize much about the past/the epic that is simply contextually situated humans making human choices--but try to tame things that should give us culture shock (in the process of helping us experience them as human choices).
aha, Meryapi will be delighted to hear of this.
I'm currently writing a novel from the perspective of Bagoas set in the last year of the life of Alexander that's all about how it feels to be the anvil yearning for the hammer.
oh yeah, imagine what I am literally working on today
Tiberius Caesar's favorite trivia question: "What was the name of Achilles among the maidens?"
(I'm sharing space with @reckoningmag.bsky.social at table 28, right in front of the doors!)
@marisca.bsky.social @mayadeane.bsky.social and Michael Yuya Montroy will read from their work, plus @carinabissett.bsky.social and I will read from two other other stories in the anthology!
Will you look at that! Two SWSW alumni are in People! Congratulations @mayadeane.bsky.social & Ionna Papadopoulou! 😁

i keep getting dreamily lost in it
a stunningly beautiful abstract river rendered in backlit pastels
"the place we all return" (firecolor, 6/24/2025, currently altering the forms in eternity to usher me into a more pleasing universe)
I continue to endorse this book, which dares to ask the question "why are trees so cosmically evil?"

the spear cuts through water. it beat me for a crawford a couple years ago and I am super not mad, simon jimenez is a genius.
The Spear Cuts Through Water is absolutely brilliant. I am only a fifth of the way through, and my brain is glowing.
The terminally online mind cannot comprehend this
Can confirm. I read @wiswell.bsky.social's Wearing the Lion last night on a pair of trains and wept. It's quite good--in the best way, reminded me of @mcnamaraluna.bsky.social's Psyche and Eros.
