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. Congratulations to Yukimi, and a little pat on our own backs for continuing to be the Teensy Micropress That Could. We certainly suspect that this won’t be the last honor for Like Smoke, Like Light. The recognition won by Yukimi’s book

2023 has been a spectacular, extraordinarily special and extremely stressful year. A whole lot happened during the past five months, with events moving faster than the speed of a blog. First, it’s high time I shared Ye Olde Annual Award Eligibility Post, both for the books and stories produced by Mythic Delirium Books (aka Anita ’n’ me) during our 25th anniversary year — and also for the short stories I had published during this 31st year of me being around

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

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. (If your local store isn’t carrying it, by all means, request that they order it.) 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

And now, debut day has arrived for Theodora Goss’s new collection The Collected Enchantments, the second release of Mythic Delirium’s 25th anniversary celebration! (Read more about the first, novel The Twice-Drowned Saint by C. S. E. Cooney, here.) As of today, both The Collected Enchantments and The Twice-Drowned Saint are available everywhere books are sold. If your local store or library doesn’t have them, consider asking them to acquire copies. To reiterate: Mythic Delirium will have a presence at Boskone

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

Next month (at Boskone!) Mythic Delirium Books will launch career-defining story collection The Collected Enchantments from Theodora Goss and mind-blowing novel The Twice-Drowned Saint from C.S.E. Cooney. And we note: if you can’t make it to Boston the weekend after Valentine’s Day, pre-order links are live for both The Twice-Drowned Saint and The Collected Enchantments. Not to mention, if you can’t make it to the Boskone reading in person, we’re having a virtual one! It takes place Saturday, Jan. 21,

Not being someone who keeps close tabs on periodic landmarks in my personal life, it came as a bit of a shock when I realized that next year will mark the 25th anniversary of the existence of Mythic Delirium. This quarter century incorporates all of the gradually evolving phases of Mythic Delirium, from its beginnings as a tiny but mighty twice-yearly poetry zine (which, I’m still proud to say, was ultimately honored with a World Fantasy Award nomination) to its

Day job demands have slowed us down here at Mythic Delirium Books — more specifically, they’ve slowed me down — but that doesn’t mean the machinery is idling. Here’s a bit of proof: we’re delight to announce the acquisition of The Collected Enchantments, a major new tome from Theodora Goss that features selections from her previous collections (In the Forest of Forgetting, Songs for Ophelia, Snow White Learns Witchcraft, all available from Mythic Delirium) as well as previously uncollected works
