The weather might not seem to agree, but spring really is around the corner.   So is the next issue of Mythic Delirium. In honor of the season, we’ve assembled an issue loosely centered around fae creatures and garden magic. Rhonda Parrish, Cedar Sanderson and Yukimi Ogawa provide the stories this time around, with poetry from Jane Yolen, Mari Ness, Beth Cato, Lynette Mejía and Sandi Leibowitz.   Here’s the full table of contents for the issue, grouped by the

I’m pleased to announce that we’ve expanded this website’s sample platter of what’s available in our publications by just a bit more this week.   From Clockwork Phoenix 4, we’re offering Shira Lipkin’s joyful headtrip of a tale, “Happy Hour at the Tooth and Claw.” Compare her story with Ken Schneyer’s from the same volume, and you’ll have all the proof you need that unusual formatting doesn’t scare us off.   We’re also offering some recent and classic selections from

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
