LIKE SMOKE, LIKE LIGHT makes PUBLISHERS WEEKLY Best of 2023: End of Year 25th anniversary celebration sale
We at Mythic Delirium (aka myself, Anita and Sydney) are all pleased as punch that Yukimi Ogawa’s debut short fiction collection, Like Smoke, Like Light, landed on Publishers Weekly’s short list of the Best Science Fiction/Fantasy/Horror Books of 2023. Congratulations to Yukimi, and a little pat on our own backs for continuing to be the Teensy Micropress That Could. We certainly suspect that this won’t be the last honor for Like Smoke, Like Light.
The recognition won by Yukimi’s book inspired us to hold one more celebratory sale to semi-officially close out Mythic Delirium’s 25th anniversary year. One more time in 2023, we’re discounted e-books to 99 cents on most all major platforms — and not just Yukimi Ogawa’s collection, but twenty titles that together span the most recent fifteen years of Mythic Delirium’s twenty-five years of existence in some form.
Some of these titles have been discounted within the past year or two, multiple times even, but others I’ve not offered in a discount sale for over half a decade, so get them while they’re hot!
For the record, these twenty titles together account for: one World Fantasy Award win, one Mythopoeic Award win, one Kirkus starred review and Best of the Year listing, one Publishers Weekly Best of the Year listing, one Theodore Sturgeon Award nomination, one WSFA Small Press Award nomination, one Aurelius Award nomination, one School Library Journal starred review, two Library Journal starred reviews, three Locus Award nominations, three World Fantasy Award nominations, four Shirley Jackson Award nominations, five Nebula Award nominations, ten Publishers Weekly starred reviews and at least sixteen stories reprinted in various “Best of the Year” volumes. (Yes, I count these things, obsessively. And that’s not the full list! That’s just for the twenty books included in this bundle.)
We’re proud of all our books. By no means is creating and showcasing art all about awards — but you can take it as an indicator of our dedication to quality as we pursue our quirky art.
