As I mentioned in the double cover reveal for Theodora Goss’s The Collected Enchantments and C. S. E. Cooney’s The Twice-Drowned Saint, Mythic Delirium Books plans to rev up with flourishes in 2023, our 25th anniversary year. Here’s another aspect of those efforts that I am incredibly proud to share: it pleases me greatly to announce the acquisition of Yukimi Ogawa’s debut collection of short fiction, Like Smoke, Like Light: Stories. Here’s text from a press release about Yukimi’s amazing

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

The time of year has once again come around to remind folks of the original publications produced by Mythic Delirium Books, and in 2022 that’s a simple task. (It’s also, you know, a great excuse to remind people to check out a terrific, thought-provoking read, in case they missed it, or to revisit a terrific, thought-provoking read, in case they didn’t.) This past February we debuted C. S. E. Cooney’s fantastic story collection Dark Breakers, brimming with five luscious tales

We live in an era of time distortion. Mostly it’s a bloody distressing state, but occasionally there’s a boon — such as this wonderful and unexpected opportunity to congratulate A Sinister Quartet contributor Jessica P. Wick, whose debut novella “An Unkindness” has been selected for inclusion in the latest volume of editor Rich Horton’s Year’s Best Science Fiction and Fantasy series, slated for publication later this year. How is that a time distortion? Well, not that anyone can keep track

Over the years C.S.E Cooney has shared some amazing work through Mythic Delirium. Her debut collection of haunting dark fantasy, Bone Swans, won the World Fantasy Award in 2016, and the title story was a Nebula Award finalist. More recently, in 2020, Locus Magazine placed “The Twice-Drowned Saint,” her contribution to our anthology A Sinister Quartet, on their 2020 Recommended Reading List for Best First Novels. Now, it’s Dark Breakers’ turn to shine. The five stories in this new collection

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

Dark Breakers signed trade paperback copies still available!Signed Sinister Quartet copies and Dark Breakers hardcovers have sold out! We’re pleased to share that we’ve got a healthy (yet limited) supply of signed copies of Dark Breakers by C. S. E. Cooney on hand, in both paperback and hardcover editions. This was possible because Claire signed them as we were packing up the inventory after a weekend manning the Mythic Delirium Books table at Boskone — my first time manning a

Dark Breakers by C. S. E. Cooney has been racking up rave reviews faster than we can keep track of them. (Admittedly, a new-ish day job has distracted me!) Here is a belated attempt to play catch up. It’s been nice to see Mythic Delirium’s dark horse entry in the “hopepunk” genre catch on so beautifully. The responses have been not just laudatory, but stunningly eloquent. By the way, in the interval, Cooney’s first major international publisher-released novel, Saint Death’s

Today the special pre-order sale that we have been holding on e-book editions of C.S.E. Cooney’s new collection Dark Breakers officially switches to being the launch sale for the book, as as of today Dark Breakers is officially out in the world and available. The discounting of the e-book price from $6.99 to $2.99 will continue through the end of the month.   We’re pleased also to have added our longtime partners in business, independent e-bookseller Weightless Books, to the

There’s only a week left until Dark Breakers, the new collection of short fiction from World Fantasy Award winner C. S. E. Cooney, manifests physically in the world. This is Mythic Delirium’s first new title since the release of the Shirley Jackson Award-nominated Aftermath of an Industrial Accident in 2020. To whet appetites for pre-orders and purchases, we’ve reduced the price of e-book editions of Claire Cooney’s new collection by more than half-price, from $6.99 to $2.99, and we’ll hold
