In 2019, Mythic Delirium Books completed its transition from publishing a mixture of books and magazine issues to putting out only books. We put out two books in 2019, Snow White Learns Witchcraft by Theodora Goss and The History of Soul 2065 by Barbara Krasnoff. We pride ourselves at Mythic Delirium on our willingness to get behind great books that more commercial publishers are squeamish about because they don’t fit in neat categories, and we certainly stuck to that mission.

I certainly didn’t expect, 15 months after shutting down Mythic Delirium, that I was ever going to have more news to share about my dear, departed zine. July proved me wrong. First, let me congratulate Beth Cato, for winning the 2019 Rhysling Award in the short poem category with “After Her Brother Ripped the Heads from Her Paper Dolls,” a poem that’s as much about the November 2016 election as it is about supernatural vengeance. Well done and well deserved!

The month of February began with the news that Latchkey by Nicole Kornher-Stace, the first novel ever released by the Mythic Delirium Books imprint, made the Locus Magazine 2018 Recommended Reading List in the Best Fantasy Novel category. Congratulations to Nicole! (Click here to see the entire list.) The listing means that Latchkey is also one of the books proffered to voters in the 2019 Locus Poll and Survey. This poll is used to select the finalists for the Locus

This Wednesday (tomorrow!) Nicole Kornher-Stace will be reading at the KGB Bar in Manhattan as part of the venerable Fantastic Fiction at KGB series hosted by Ellen Datlow and Matt Kressel. Her partner in the reading will be Maria Dahvana Headley, author of The Mere Wife and other novels. Nicole will have copies of Archivist Wasp and Latchkey with her to sell. My understanding is that she’ll be reading a piece of fiction set in that same universe. Don’t miss

I’ve already shouted this all over social media, but it’s absolutely worth shouting about some more. Nicole Kornher-Stace’s novel Latchkey (the first novel ever published through our imprint) has made Kirkus Reviews‘ prestigious Best YA Science Fiction of 2018 list. We’re thrilled for Nicole, obviously, and additionally pleased that we could help make this honor happen — a first for our imprint. Yet it’s not a first for Nicole. Evidence below: There can’t be much precedent for an author making

It’s one again the season where readers and writers weigh whether artistic creations are worthy of awards. This post gathers links to all our 2018 publications in one place to help y’all peruse. All in all, we published one young adult novel, nine short stories and twelve poems. Linkies below. For the first time ever, Mythic Delirium Books published a novel in 2018, Latchkey by Nicole Kornher-Stace. Latchkey is eligible for best novel awards, and for awards in young adult

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

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

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.
