I’m so thrilled to announce that the first ever Mythic Delirium trade paperback anthology, with its beautiful cover from Galen Dara, is available, if not quite everywhere yet, then enough places that there’s certainly no point in keeping it a secret! (It’s basically gone live a month earlier than planned, which we had to do to have copies available for launch at the World Fantasy Convention in D.C.) I am so proud of this book and all it represents —

The newest issue of Mythic Delirium is absolutely and completely alive, stepping out from behind the Veil as Halloween approaches…   This is how I tried to explain this “eclectic even by our standards” issue in my editorial:   We’re bringing 2014 to a close with a cornucopia of offerings that don’t have a theme, per se, unless a cornucopia full of diverse offerings can itself be a theme.   To mix together some metaphors, within this patchwork quilt you’ll

Our featured content for September has gone live, which means the last remaining story and poems from Mythic Delirium 1.1 are available now for all to read.   They include:   • “Hold Back the Waters” by Virginia M. Mohlere: a story of a family’s astonishing and sometimes tragic secret. (Enthusiastic review from Charlotte Ashley of Apex Magazine here.) • “An Eyewitness Guide to the Sea Shore” by Margo Lanagan, a playful, eerie bit of mystery (written at one of

Our reveal of the contents of Mythic Delirium 1.1 continues with the release of our August featured content.   In our featured story by Saira Ali, “The Djinn” explains the terms of his banishment.   This month happens to feature three poems instead of the usual two: • Hugo, Nebula and Rhysling winner Geoffrey A. Landis revisits the myth of “Orpheus” to tell a harsh truth; • Gwynne Garfinkle draws whimsy and sorrow from old monster movies in “It’s a

The newest issue of Mythic Delirium, the July-Sept. 2014 issue, ie. Issue 1.1, is out in all the ways that we present it.   You can take a gander at the table of contents here, and read our featured content for June, which happens to be:   • “Keeper of the Wave,” a surreal and twisted tale of magic and guilt from Jamie Killen • “Main Sequence,” a poem of astronomy and identity from Saira Ali • “Bearing Witness,” another

I’m thrilled to be able to share the table of contents of the next issue of Mythic Delirium, which has already gone out to subscribers and reviewers. (If you’re not a subscriber and you’d like a copy, click this link.)   This issue features several plunges into treacherous deeps. Jamie Killen and Virginia M. Mohlere share tales of grim prices paid to stave off surging waters, and Saira Ali tells a tale of island banishment. Poems in this issue exploring

I’m pleased to announce that the June featured story and featured poems have gone live on MythicDelirium.com, completing our fourth full issue as a digital magazine.   Our featured short story, “The Giant’s Tree” by Yukimi Ogawa, is a whimsical and touching tale rooted in Japanese folklore that bounds in some surprising directions.   Our featured poems also touch on Japanese folklore. Sandi Leibowitz describes flirtation with a dangerous edge in “Unmasking” while Beth Cato brings it all home in

I’ve been meaning to share this one for a while.   The Banjo Apocalypse Crinoline Troubadours consist of C.S.E. Cooney, Amal El-Mohtar, Caitlyn Paxson (and sometimes Patty Templeton and/or Nicole Kornher-Stace) — all of whom have been contributors to Mythic Delirium and some to Clockwork Phoenix as well.   The Troubadours put on a performance in January and posted many videos from said performance to YouTube. With permission, I’m sharing renditions of two poems by Amal that first appeared in

May’s features from our newest issue, Mythic Delirium 0.4, are now online.   This month’s new fiction comes from Cedar Sanderson. “Milkweed” is a bittersweet story of common ground found between human and fey.   Our poems this month take revisionist looks at time-honored fairy tale notions. “The Silver Comb” by Mari Ness adds to the terror of the banshee a twist of longing, and Jane Yolen’s “Never Told” presents us with the flip side of Happily Ever After.  

I’m proud to present three more poems from our print archives, free for your entertainment consumption, all of them originally published in 2012.   From Issue 26:   • The first draft of John Philip Johnson’s “Plutoid” was written in one of my ReaderCon poetry workshops. I admire its gritty take on life in space, how it pulls no punches over its brutish and short span.   • Virginia M. Mohlere’s “This Illusion of Flesh” is a beautiful work that’s
