We’re celebrating the new year with the release of our first issue of 2014. This wintery mix, full of bones and dire straits, features stories by Nicole Kornher-Stace, Kenneth Schneyer and Robert Davies, and poems by Lisa M. Bradley, Sandi Leibowitz, J.C. Runolfson, David Sklar, Christina Sng and Beth Cato. To receive the full issue, you can subscribe, or purchase individual copies at Weightless Books or Amazon.   Our January content is already online. Nicole Kornher-Stace brings us a harrowing

Here’s the contents of our next issue, Mythic Delirium 0.3, on sale in January. The stories in this issue are by Nicole Kornher-Stace, Kenneth Schneyer and Robert Davies; and the poems are by Lisa M. Bradley, Sandi Leibowitz, J.C. Runolfson, David Sklar, Christina Sng and Beth Cato. There’s a theme of bones and mortification (of the flesh) to many of these pieces, which makes our cover by Anita Allen (my wifey!) all the more fitting.   Here’s the complete list,

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
