December’s featured content from Mythic Delirium 0.2 went live on Dec. 1, including a quirky tale of faeries, tattoos and addiction from David Sklar, an equally quirky poem from David about onion layers, and a poem of inconvenient bees from Brigitte N. McCray. Enjoy!   Flap • David Sklar   The Girl Who Learned to Live with Bees in Her Hair • Brigitte N. McCray   The Onion Prince • David Sklar   #SFWApro

From the moment I knew that the print edition of Mythic Delirium was going to end, it was a challenge to figure out what should go in the final issue, No. 30. A retrospective made sense, but how to come up with one? After all, we’ve showcased 524 poems through 29 issues over 15 years, with verse from bestselling authors and newcomers whose first published pieces appeared in our pages — how do you boil that down to make a

It’s amazing to think that the longest project of my editorial career — or at least a major phase of it — is almost over.   Contributor and subscriber copies of Mythic Delirium 29, the penultimate print issue of my quirkly little ‘zine’s decade-and-a-half long run, went out in the mail earlier this week. If you’re not getting a copy yourself, and you’d like to, here’s where you can make that possible.   I have all the print issues of

November’s featured content from Mythic Delirium 0.2 went live on Nov. 1, including a melancholy yet cheerfully twisted short story by Patty Templeton and poetry from Brittany Warman and Yoon Ha Lee. Enjoy!   The Two Annies of Windale Road • Patty Templeton   WereMoonMother • Brittany Warman   Foxfeast • Yoon Ha Lee   #SFWApro

As of today, everyone who submitted stories and poems to Mythic Delirium through Oct. 1 should have received a response from me, either “Yes,” “No,” or “Would you consider a few changes?”   If you haven’t heard anything, you should definitely query. #SFWApro  

The reading window for the next few issues of Mythic Delirium — from Issue 0.3, Jan.-March 2014, through however many more issues can be filled with what we decide to keep — closed October 2.   I’ve finished my first read of all the submissions we received (about 250.) At this point if you sent something in and haven’t heard from me either your work is being held for further review or (unlikely, but not impossible) you’ve slipped through the

I’m proud to announce that Mythic Delirium 0.2 is live and kicking.   Our second issue in our new format explores the fantastic in contemporary settings, with Georgina Bruce’s beautifully-written tale of a truck driver’s troubled life and holy visions, Patty Templeton’s funny and bittersweet take on a legendary figure from the American West, and David Sklar’s saucy venture among urban angels; poems include Jennifer Crow’s heartfelt look at a grim injustice, Yoon Ha Lee’s genre-bending examination of creatures from

Folks, due to a confluence of many, many overlapping events, I have only now begun to start responding to Mythic Delirium submissions — so my apologies for not being quicker on the draw. Most people who’ve sent something in won’t hear anything until after the reading window closes Oct. 1.   If you’re concerned, queries are always welcome. #SFWApro   The ebook editions of Mythic Delirium 0.2 went out to subscribers this Sunday. Because much of this website is still

This past month I’ve been working on two new issues of Mythic Delirium — the second digital issue, which features fiction from Georgina Bruce, Patty Templeton and David Sklar and poetry from Yoon Ha Lee, Jennifer Crow, Liz Bourke and more; and the second-to-last print issue with poems from Ada Hoffmann, Sonya Taaffe, Kurt Newton, Deborah P Kolodji and many more. I’m pleased to be able to share the table of contents of this double offering. Issue 0.2 will launch

The last triad of featured content from our first online issue, Mythic Delirium 0.1, has gone live.   We’re proud to present a new short story from Ken Liu, “Echoes in the Dark.” It just so happens that Ken won his second Hugo Award for short fiction this past Sunday at the World Science Fiction Convention in San Antonio, Texas. (Congratulations, Ken!)   Our featured poems this month come from Amal El-Mohtar, who contributes the wry and moving “This Talk
