The process of recovering from my knee reconstruction surgery has placed me woefully behind in sharing the cool and amazing things that have been happening on the Mythic Delirium Books front. I’m going to try to make up for that now. I’ve not been doing enough, I think, to remind folks that, teeny tiny as we are, we still manage to make a lot of cool stuff happen. Most recent and most wonderful: Dark Breakers by C. S. E. Cooney (our

The third book release planned for Mythic Delirium’s 25th anniversary celebration has launched! You can now purchase Yukimi Ogawa’s debut Like Smoke, Like Light wherever books are sold online, and even in at least a few physical stores. (If your local store isn’t carrying it, by all means, request that they order it.) As we did in February with our first two 2023 releases, we’re commemorating this event by sharing a quick interview with author Yukimi Ogawa about her inspirations

We at Mythic Delirium Books (that is, Anita and I and Sydney) are thrilled that Dark Breakers, our second collection of short fiction from World Fantasy Award winner C.S.E. Cooney, has been a named a 2023 Locus Award finalist in the Best Story Collection category! Congratulations, Claire! Traditionally we celebrate such honors by making the works in question more accessible, and this occasion is no different. In fact, we have made the e-book editions of all Claire’s titles with us

As we begin the fourth month of Mythic Delirium’s 25th anniversary year, I’m thrilled to share that the third of the three new books promised for this occasion is now available for pre-order: Like Smoke, Like Light, the debut collection of short fiction by Yukimi Ogawa. I’m also thrilled to once again be working with paper artist Paula Arwen Owen, who has been a part of our extended family since the days when Mythic Delirium was a biannual poetry zine

And now, debut day has arrived for Theodora Goss’s new collection The Collected Enchantments, the second release of Mythic Delirium’s 25th anniversary celebration! (Read more about the first, novel The Twice-Drowned Saint by C. S. E. Cooney, here.) As of today, both The Collected Enchantments and The Twice-Drowned Saint are available everywhere books are sold. If your local store or library doesn’t have them, consider asking them to acquire copies. To reiterate: Mythic Delirium will have a presence at Boskone

As we prepare for the official in-person launch party at Boskone for The Twice-Drowned Saint by C. S. E. Cooney and The Collected Enchantments by Theodora Goss, it’s been gratifying to see both books get nice notices. From book blogger Sia at Every Book a Doorway, a stunningly lovely and fun review of The Twice-Drowned Saint: Cooney routinely leaves me speechless, and The Twice-Drowned Saint is no exception — despite having read it twice, I have no idea how to

Debut day has arrived for C. S. E. Cooney’s new novel The Twice-Drowned Saint, our first release of Mythic Delirium’s 25th anniversary celebration! So yes, as of today, The Twice-Drowned Saint is available everywhere books are sold. And if your local store doesn’t have it, ask them to carry it, because they totally can. Mythic Delirium will have a presence at Boskone 60 from Feb. 17-19, and if you want to get a signed copy, that’s the place to be.

Here at Mythic Delirium, we were delighted to learn that C. S. E. Cooney’s glorious collection Dark Breakers, a delightful blend of Gilded Age glitz, eldritch parallel worlds and majestic sorcery, has landed on the newest Locus Magazine Recommended Reading List in the Best Collection category. Congratulations to Claire Cooney! (Her novel Saint Death’s Daughter also made the list.) This wonderful news arrives exactly a week before we launch Cooney’s newest novel, The Twice-Drowned Saint, into the world. And yet,

Next month (at Boskone!) Mythic Delirium Books will launch career-defining story collection The Collected Enchantments from Theodora Goss and mind-blowing novel The Twice-Drowned Saint from C.S.E. Cooney. And we note: if you can’t make it to Boston the weekend after Valentine’s Day, pre-order links are live for both The Twice-Drowned Saint and The Collected Enchantments. Not to mention, if you can’t make it to the Boskone reading in person, we’re having a virtual one! It takes place Saturday, Jan. 21,

You could call this our award eligibility post redux: once again, we are making an original work from C. S. E. Cooney’s Gilded Era secondary world fantasy collection Dark Breakers free to read on our site. This time, it’s her beautiful, haunting novelette “Longergreen.” Though it stands on its own, you could view “Longergreen” as an extended final movement to a symphony that begins with her novella “The Two Paupers,” also included in Dark Breakers.
