Twenty years: that’s cause for celebration. Amazing as it is to herald two decades of this magazine, that’s not the only number we’re toasting. This issue is the 20th since Mythic Delirium became a web and ebook publication. Not to mention, the print version of Mythic Delirium encompassed 30 issues total, so that makes this issue the 50th overall. The very first issue of Mythic Delirium appeared in spring 1998, printed in a teeny apartment on a cheap inkjet printer

To further whet appetites for the release of Nicole Kornher-Stace’s forthcoming novel Latchkey, we’ve published a preview today, making the first two chapters free for all to read. She clashed with Lissa, blade to blade, then grabbed the wrist of Lissa’s knife-hand and yanked. As Lissa’s knife slid free of Isabel’s, she stumbled forward and was promptly hauled down and in toward the elbow Isabel was firing at the hollow of her throat. (Click to keep reading.) Latchkey will be

The final features from our Winter issue are live on the site! With “The Papyrotomist,” Unnaturalist Series author Tiffany Trent takes us to a dark carnival where a performing artist practices a novel form of amputation. Bram Stoker Award winner Christina Sng spins verses on the growth of horrors in “Born of Blood and Tears.” Novelist Cassandra Rose Clarke evokes ghostly desire in the beautiful and chilling “Porphyria’s Other Lover.” Our double-sized twentieth anniversary issue is just around the corner,

We at Mythic Delirium Books (i.e Anita and I) proudly extend warm congratulations to Christina Sng, whose been the Assistant Digital Editor for Mythic Delirium magazine since 2015. Her poetry book A Collection of Nightmares, published in 2017 by Raw Dog Screaming Press — which surveys more than a decade of dark poetry, including some first published in Mythic Delirium — won the Bram Stoker Award for Best Poetry Collection yesterday at StokerCon in Providence, hometown of H.P. Lovecraft. We’ve

Our featured story and featured poems for February have gone live on our site. Jennifer R. Donohue’s “A Thing with Feathers” conjures a haunting vision of immense injustices and small acts of defiance. Nebula Award and Rhysling Award finalist Beth Cato provides two poems this month. A woman resurrects herself in “This Body Made,” the poem that inspired our spectacular cover art by Ruth Sanderson. In “After Her Brother Ripped the Heads from Her Paper Dolls,” a bullied girl prepares

Where I live, winter hasn’t brought snow, but it has brought the first Mythic Delirium issue of 2018, and that’s a thing to celebrate. The new works we’re presenting venture into the shadows, and few who follow after will emerge unscathed. In “When the Bough Breaks,” Jaymee Goh shows us how terrible it can be to see the warning signs, supernatural and not, when those with power won’t heed them. A heartbreaking injustice burns at the core of Jennifer R.

On the surface, this was a pretty laid back year for Mythic Delirium Books, at least in the sense that we didn’t publish any books. But our magazine came out like clockwork, and behind the scenes we stayed pretty frantically busy. (Our forthcoming book Latchkey by Nicole Kornher-Stace won’t be the last of such announcements.) Below, alphabetically by author, are all the original stories and poems first published in Mythic Delirium magazine in 2017. Short stories “The Desert Cure” by

Our final features to offer from the Fall 2017 issue of Mythic Delirium have gone live. Here’s what we’re serving up to help you navigate the holiday season: Premee Mohamed’s wonderfully playful “The Water and the World” picks up the baton of oceanic (and perhaps even Lovecraftian?) mythology and dashes full speed into the hyper-media-saturated world of professional sports. In “Lotus Moon,” Rhysling Award winner Mary Soon Lee provides a compelling glimpse into the history of King Xau, the main
