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.

In April, we produced Clockwork Phoenix 5, the newest installment in our anthology series showcasing “stories of beauty and strangeness” and our biggest yet. The book itself
