Anita and I and Sydney share this announcement with incandescent delight: both of the collections of short fiction that we published in 2023, The Collected Enchantments by Theodora Goss and Like Smoke, Like Light: Stories by Yukimi Ogawa, made the newest Locus Magazine Recommended Reading List! We have a really cool celebratory promotion in the works — but we’re not prepared to talk about that yet. (Stay tuned!) So in the meantime, we’re offering a wee deal for those who

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.

The third book release planned for Mythic Delirium’s 25th anniversary celebration has launched! You can now purchase Yukimi Ogawa’s debut Like Smoke, Like Light wherever books are sold online, and even in at least a few physical stores.

As we did in February with our first two 2023 releases, we’re commemorating this event by sharing a quick interview with author Yukimi Ogawa about her inspirations

As we begin the fourth month of Mythic Delirium’s 25th anniversary year, I’m thrilled to share that the third of the three new books promised for this occasion is now available for pre-order: Like Smoke, Like Light, the debut collection of short fiction by Yukimi Ogawa.

As I mentioned in the double cover reveal for Theodora Goss’s The Collected Enchantments and C. S. E.
