The process of recovering from my knee reconstruction surgery has placed me woefully behind in sharing the cool and amazing things that have been happening on the Mythic Delirium Books front. I’m going to try to make up for that now. I’ve not been doing enough, I think, to remind folks that, teeny tiny as we are, we still manage to make a lot of cool stuff happen. Most recent and most wonderful: Dark Breakers by C. S. E. Cooney (our

As we prepare for the official in-person launch party at Boskone for The Twice-Drowned Saint by C. S. E. Cooney and The Collected Enchantments by Theodora Goss, it’s been gratifying to see both books get nice notices. From book blogger Sia at Every Book a Doorway, a stunningly lovely and fun review of The Twice-Drowned Saint: Cooney routinely leaves me speechless, and The Twice-Drowned Saint is no exception — despite having read it twice, I have no idea how to

I’m delighted to share that on Thursday, July 15, at 8 p.m. EST, I’ll be taking part in the second installment of a summer reading series organized by my colleague in Weird fiction, Daniel Braum. I’m thrilled to be part of a stellar lineup of readers that includes Jeffrey Ford, Laurel Hightower and Gwendolyn Kiste! The Strange. The Weird. And the Uncanny: Summer 2021 Readings #2 will happen live on YouTube, and it will continue to live on YouTube after

Alas, C. S. E. Coooney, Jessica P. Wick, Amanda J. McGee and I won’t literally be together in Roanoke, Virginia, for this upcoming reading from A Sinister Quartet. However, we will reunite Saturday, July 18 at 3:30 pm. on Zoom for this new event hosted by independent bookseller Book No Further and the shop’s wonderful proprietor Doloris Vest. The good news is, you don’t have to travel all the way to far Southwest Virginia to see us — you can

It’s been six years since my last (and first) collection of horror stories, Unseaming, appeared in the world and fared shockingly well on multiple fronts. My second collection of horror tales (and third story collection overall), Aftermath of an Industrial Accident, will debut July 7; and, since I’ve been too swamped to make any kind of formal announcement, most folks are finding out the book exists via the starred review posted Saturday on Publishers Weekly, a development I am incredibly

The latest Association of Jewish Libraries newsletter contains a lovely (if somewhat spoilerific!) review of The History of Soul 2065 by Barbara Krasnoff. Here’s some highlights, sans the spoiler-y parts: “This book of connected short stories traces several generations of two childhood friends: Chana Krasulka and Sophia Stein. In each story, a character is touched by the supernatural, spirits from the past, present, or future, and occasionally Time itself . . . The characters, mostly Jewish, are engaging and relatable.

At Readercon in July, Mythic Delirium Books (i.e. Anita and me) managed to pull off a spectacularly successful launch for The History of Soul 2065 by Barbara Krasnoff, as well as a secondary stage launch for Snow White Learns Witchcraft by Theodora Goss — we sold out all of our copies of both books! While I hope to recap all of that more thoroughly at some point in the not too distant future, I’m playing a different sort of catch

We’re now a month away from the release of The History of Soul 2065, Barbara Krasnoff’s debut collection of short stories. The first reviews have come in, and they’re glowing. Publishers Weekly was first out of the gate, with one of their coveted starred reviews. This remarkable mosaic of interconnected stories, many of which were previously published, spans generations to relay the strange, somber, and deeply entwined histories of two Jewish families. In 1914, Chana, a Russian, and Sophia, a

Amal El-Mohtar’s latest science fiction and fantasy column for the New York Times Book Review appeared online today to shine spotlights on new novels by Jenn Lyons and Ann Leckie, and on Theodora Goss’s collection of poems and stories, Snow White Learns Witchcraft! It’s the first time Dora has been reviewed in the New York Times, and vicariously it’s a first for Anita’n’me, too. We’re delighted to say the least. These pieces, all centered on fairy tales, refract and reshape

The month of February began with the news that Latchkey by Nicole Kornher-Stace, the first novel ever released by the Mythic Delirium Books imprint, made the Locus Magazine 2018 Recommended Reading List in the Best Fantasy Novel category. Congratulations to Nicole! (Click here to see the entire list.) The listing means that Latchkey is also one of the books proffered to voters in the 2019 Locus Poll and Survey. This poll is used to select the finalists for the Locus
