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

Not being someone who keeps close tabs on periodic landmarks in my personal life, it came as a bit of a shock when I realized that next year will mark the 25th anniversary of the existence of Mythic Delirium. This quarter century incorporates all of the gradually evolving phases of Mythic Delirium, from its beginnings as a tiny but mighty twice-yearly poetry zine (which, I’m still proud to say, was ultimately honored with a World Fantasy Award nomination) to its

We live in an era of time distortion. Mostly it’s a bloody distressing state, but occasionally there’s a boon — such as this wonderful and unexpected opportunity to congratulate A Sinister Quartet contributor Jessica P. Wick, whose debut novella “An Unkindness” has been selected for inclusion in the latest volume of editor Rich Horton’s Year’s Best Science Fiction and Fantasy series, slated for publication later this year. How is that a time distortion? Well, not that anyone can keep track

Over the years C.S.E Cooney has shared some amazing work through Mythic Delirium. Her debut collection of haunting dark fantasy, Bone Swans, won the World Fantasy Award in 2016, and the title story was a Nebula Award finalist. More recently, in 2020, Locus Magazine placed “The Twice-Drowned Saint,” her contribution to our anthology A Sinister Quartet, on their 2020 Recommended Reading List for Best First Novels. Now, it’s Dark Breakers’ turn to shine. The five stories in this new collection

Dark Breakers signed trade paperback copies still available!Signed Sinister Quartet copies and Dark Breakers hardcovers have sold out! We’re pleased to share that we’ve got a healthy (yet limited) supply of signed copies of Dark Breakers by C. S. E. Cooney on hand, in both paperback and hardcover editions. This was possible because Claire signed them as we were packing up the inventory after a weekend manning the Mythic Delirium Books table at Boskone — my first time manning a

I’m thrilled to be making my first ever appearance on Mike Davis’s Lovecraft eZine Podcast today (Sunday, June 6) at 6 p.m. EST. I imagine I’ll be talking about some horror books, both those I’ve written and those of others. Catch it live on Youtube (or come back and watch it later)! Cross-posted to Descent Into Light

Hello everybody! It has almost been a year since the premiere of the Mythic Delirium Books anthology A Sinister Quartet. What an astonishing and stressful year it has been — a year of tragedy and resilience. It was absolutely a challenge through that environment to call attention to the release of this odd and not-so-little book (I mean, at a time when people were shying away from dark fiction, we stuck to our course); but hands down. working on A

I’m pleased to share that Mythic Delirium has found a way to further celebrate the recognition our 2020 titles received in from the latest Locus Recommended Reading List, and furthermore, that we’re able to include our other titles that have direct links to our most recent books. Starting yesterday and continuing for however long we feel like it, both the 2020 dark fantasy anthology A Sinister Quartet and the 2020 horror collection Aftermath of an Industrial Accident are on sale
