Some of the places the e-book was available ten years ago no longer exist. (Don't buy from Amazon!) If you'd like an e-book for review or other fair use purpose, hit me up.

Does anyone have current contact details for Kathryn Allan (formerly Bleedingchrome; editor of Accessing the Future)? I think her old professional domain has expired/been cybersquatted.

The cover page of issue 2026.75 of The Future Fire, illustrated by Melkorka. Two ethereal beings, one blue and one gold, represented as nebulas and stars, face one another, eyes closed.
My story, A Multitude of Sparks Descend, is now available to freely read in the current issue of @thefuturefire.bsky.social .
An absolutely stunning illustration by Melkorka accompanies it.

Happy 135th birthday to Clare Winger Harris, often credited as the first woman to publish science fiction under her own name (a novel in 1923, a dozen stories in Weird Tales and Amazing Stories over the next decade). Maybe not quite #feministsf even by 1920s standards but…

Michael Jackson's #Thriller was released 43 years ago today. Biggest selling album of all time, most effective use of a full-on horror movie as promo video for the title track, and all round legendary release. Out #OnThisDay in 1982.

To be clear, I'm not recommending the BBC short film as a good example of that genre.
I am saying I'd like to see more pieces in that genre. Where do I find them?

And while as the archaeologists in the replies have pointed out, the narrator in that story isn't a very good archaeologist (even by 20th century standards), it *is* a piece of archaeological science fiction—which is the only genre I love more than anthropological speculative fiction.

There's some #socialpolitical #sciencefiction if you want it. Weird mix of old-fashioned (even for the 60s!) moralising, and eerily modern-feeling critique of materialism and environmental destruction. And a pastiche of archaeological narrative-making.
