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.

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
