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

This is so exciting! We at Mythic Delirium Books (that is, Anita and I and Sydney) are thrilled that Dark Breakers, our second collection of short fiction from World Fantasy Award winner C.S.E. Cooney, has been named a World Fantasy Award finalist in its own right in the Best Story Collection category! Congratulations again Claire! We like to celebrate occasions like this by making our books more accessible — so we have for a limited time made the e-book editions

The process of recovering from my knee reconstruction surgery has placed me woefully behind in sharing the cool and amazing things that have been happening on the Mythic Delirium Books front. I’m going to try to make up for that now. I’ve not been doing enough, I think, to remind folks that, teeny tiny as we are, we still manage to make a lot of cool stuff happen. Most recent and most wonderful: Dark Breakers by C. S. E. Cooney (our

We at Mythic Delirium Books (that is, Anita and I and Sydney) are thrilled that Dark Breakers, our second collection of short fiction from World Fantasy Award winner C.S.E. Cooney, has been a named a 2023 Locus Award finalist in the Best Story Collection category! Congratulations, Claire!

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

S. E. Cooney, which we will release into the

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

I’m a couple months late posting this, which has definitely been a 2020-connected theme. Nonetheless, at the last minute is still better than never! My personal and publisher lists mostly overlap this year, so I am going to combine them. This was a risky year to release a book, especially one with horror-centric themes, and so of course the Mythic Delirium Books imprint produced two, hee hee. The first book we published in 2020 was an anthology of original longform

I’m pleased to announce that for the first time Mythic Delirium Books is participating in a StoryBundle, thanks to an invitation from writer, editor and Bundle curator Rhonda Parrish! (Seriously, thank you, Rhonda!) You can go straight to the StoryBundle by clicking this link. Rhonda has taken a quirky but intriguing theme and pulled together a really cool package that includes two Mythic Delirium Books, the World Fantasy Award-winning Bone Swans by C. S. E. Cooney, and the critically-acclaimed novel
