Nicole Kornher-Stace’s Latchkey, the first novel ever published by Mythic Delirium Books, has accumulated a number of superlative reviews since I last did a roundup (a sinfully long time ago). We’re thrilled that the book has already earned out its advance — thanks so much, all those who have purchased it so far! — and there are other cool things that have happened that we’re not allowed to make public yet.

As of today, there’s only a week to go before Nicole Kornher-Stace’s novel Latchkey officially launches. Anita and Nicole and I all plan to come to Readercon in Quincy, Mass., just outside Boston, which takes place Thursday, July 12 through Sunday, July 15, not at all coincidentally the same week Latchkey goes live. For the first time ever, Anita and I will be running a Mythic Delirium Books table in the Readercon bookshop, where we’ll have oodles of copies of

Launch day for Latchkey by Nicole Kornher-Stace is just a month away now, and because I’ve been occupied with behind-the-scenes preparation, I’ve not blogged here about on-the-stage things have happened this past month. Such as: Latchkey got a starred review from Kirkus Reviews! Near-future science-fiction crimes bleed into dystopian horror centuries later in a wildly imaginative genre-hybrid sequel to Archivist Wasp (2015) . . . Less mythic in tone and more conventional in structure than the first, this title nonetheless

The official release date for Latchkey is just two months away, and the first review of the book is in, from Locus Magazine reviewer Liz Bourke, published in the May issue. It’s a lengthy, detailed review, with a lot to say, all of it positive. An excerpt: “Latchkey’s prose is elegantly self-effacing: smooth, easy to read, and full of adroit turns of phrase.

She clashed with Lissa, blade to blade, then grabbed the wrist of Lissa’s knife-hand and yanked.
