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

Mythic Delirium Books proudly announces the acquisition of Nicole Kornher-Stace‘s fantasy novel Latchkey. We’ve set a goal of a mid-July 2018 release for this thought-provoking, genre-blending, action-packed tale set in the ruins of a high-tech civilization, where gods govern the sky and ghosts thirst for blood. Latchkey continues the story begun in Kornher-Stace’s widely acclaimed Archivist Wasp (an Andre Norton Award finalist selected by Kirkus Reviews as one of the Best Teen Books of 2015.) In Latchkey, Isabel, once known

Our November features from the newest issue of Mythic Delirium have gone live. Here’s what our fall harvest holds: In “The Desert Cure” by Daniel Ausema, an ailing woman must overcome a charlatan doctor and a possessive river god in an adventure that plunges into the dark and surreal. Alix Bosley’s “Backswamp Atlantis” meditates in a way both melancholy and defiant on a reverse evolution brought about by changes in landscape and climate. “Submerged” by Maura McHugh pays a visit

It’s been almost a year since Anita and I sat in the back row at the 2016 World Fantasy Award ceremony and heard C.S.E. Cooney’s name called as the short story collection winner, then got to watch her head to the podium for an unrehearsed speech as our entire row cheered her on. I suspect I don’t need to detail the history here, at least for those tuned into current events in genre publishing, but the World Fantasy Award committee

Ellen Daltow, editor of the Best Horror of the Year series, has released her longlist of 2016 honorable mentions.
