NEW EPISODE: Jim & Zach reveal nine SFFH novels that still sit on their TBRs, perhaps so intimidating they just haven't been able to bring themselves to read them yet. Have YOU read them? What books are like this for you? Come see. #SFFH #TBR youtu.be/8Vf4IaLJ3qA

Hey there, this story developed in a different direction than I had intended. So please heed the content warning in the post. Otherwise, please enjoy - it is purely fiction, after all.

NEW EPISODE: Jim explores the phenomenon of the "middle book slump", where speculative fiction trilogies almost don't make it to book 3 because of how far book 2 goes off the rails. Why does this happen, again and again? Let's look at some examples. #SFFH youtu.be/565appT7eqc

Yesterday's dragon was the scavenger dragon!

This dragon hoards shiny things, burrows, and has a rare prehensile tail. They are notoriously hard to trap. I wrote a throwback to Evolution (2001) for its scene in Book 5. #dragons #dragonart #SFFH

Yesterday's dragon was the sulfur dragon!

This dragon lives near volcanic environments as it feeds off of the ash and it can survive Yellowstone hot spring mud, which it loves to bask in! #dragons #dragonart #coloring #SFFH #dragonbooks

Well, there's mine. Not brand new (published in 2022) but it fits with your categories of weird litfic, scifi & fantasy. And maybe horror too! The title sounds like memoir, but let's hope it isn't. Ha.

Delve Post 115

The threshold of everything.

A simple act can tear at one's soul. Yet, when you've found all you've ever desired, can you leave it behind?

In most stories, a door is a way out. But in the depths of Delve, an exit is just another descent.

Today's dragon is the Nordic sea serpent! It's currently the only dragon that is bioluminescent and has unique blubber that if ignited, it can burn brightly for hours and inspired the Greek fire myth! #dragons #dragonbooks #dragonart #art #SFFH

Just pulled out an old cozy ghost story I never submitted (why? I have no idea!) Maybe zhuzh it up a little. Maybe send it out into the world. Who doesn't need a cozy cute ghost story right about now, right?

Here's your new dragon: the beloved Pete! She is a varanus lacerto dragon, which is basically a leaf dragon that lives in wooded areas. They eat mostly fish and small prey and normally are only the size of an iguana. @thatguytommy2.bsky.social @mistymassey.bsky.social #dragons #dragonart #art #SFFH

My first sci-fi space story was just rejected. And you know what? It’s still just as good as it was before I submitted it.

Background image is a book cover: the top third is bright green with yellow text that reads Tiffani Angus, Val Nolan. The middle third is black with white text that reads Spec Fic for Newbies Vol. 3; the bottom third is green with yellow text that reads A Beginner's Guide to Writing Even More Subgenres of Science Fiction, Fantasy, and Horror. Foreground text: “Fungal horror explores our fear of the ‘other,’ especially when you consider how ‘alien’ mushrooms and other fungi can seem. They freak us out because of their not-plant-but-not-animal ambiguity…” p. 226

Fungus isn't really a plant... or an animal, making this field ripe for Horror stories! SPEC FIC FOR NEWBIES 3 digs up the source of Fungal Horror, identifies specimens, & provides 2 activities to get you started!

Just submitted a flash fiction piece about a dystopian, yet hopeful, future. I tweaked it a little, read it out loud again, and thought, "I really like this story." And I do! Hoping the editors like it too.
