This Wednesday (tomorrow!) Nicole Kornher-Stace will be reading at the KGB Bar in Manhattan as part of the venerable Fantastic Fiction at KGB series hosted by Ellen Datlow and Matt Kressel. Her partner in the reading will be Maria Dahvana Headley, author of The Mere Wife and other novels. Nicole will have copies of Archivist Wasp and Latchkey with her to sell. My understanding is that she’ll be reading a piece of fiction set in that same universe. Don’t miss

I’ve already shouted this all over social media, but it’s absolutely worth shouting about some more. Nicole Kornher-Stace’s novel Latchkey (the first novel ever published through our imprint) has made Kirkus Reviews‘ prestigious Best YA Science Fiction of 2018 list. We’re thrilled for Nicole, obviously, and additionally pleased that we could help make this honor happen — a first for our imprint. Yet it’s not a first for Nicole. Evidence below: There can’t be much precedent for an author making

Nicole Kornher-Stace’s Latchkey, the first novel ever published by Mythic Delirium Books, has accumulated a number of superlative reviews since I last did a roundup (a sinfully long time ago). We’re thrilled that the book has already earned out its advance — thanks so much, all those who have purchased it so far! — and there are other cool things that have happened that we’re not allowed to make public yet. (Though we sure will once permission is granted.) And

If you’re a fan of Nicole Kornher-Stace’s Archivist Wasp and its sequel Latchkey (new-ish from Mythic Delirium Books!), or you’ve had the pleasure of checking out her mind-bending debut novel Desideria (a thing you really should do if you haven’t), or you wonder what happens after the cliffhanger ending of her novelette “Last Chance” (set in the Wasp-verse) you can ask her all about it this Thursday in the r/Fantasy Reddit community. On that day Nicole is conducting her first

A lot has happened since our successful launch of Nicole Kornher-Stace’s novel Latchkey at Readercon last month, and I’ve been remiss about sharing those developments here. (It’s been a busy time!) First off, as we’ve been promoting Latchkey, Nicole has done a few interviews. Here’s a roundup of the ones that have appeared so far. At bestselling author John Scalzi’s popular Whatever blog, Nicole contributes a “Big Idea” essay in which she talks about how Lyme disease and The Golden

As of today, there’s only a week to go before Nicole Kornher-Stace’s novel Latchkey officially launches. Anita and Nicole and I all plan to come to Readercon in Quincy, Mass., just outside Boston, which takes place Thursday, July 12 through Sunday, July 15, not at all coincidentally the same week Latchkey goes live. For the first time ever, Anita and I will be running a Mythic Delirium Books table in the Readercon bookshop, where we’ll have oodles of copies of

In these stories and poems, sometimes harrowing, sometimes hilarious, always lyrical, Goss re-centers and empowers the women

Launch day for Latchkey by Nicole Kornher-Stace is just a month away now, and because I’ve been occupied with behind-the-scenes preparation, I’ve not blogged here about on-the-stage things have happened this past month. Such as: Latchkey got a starred review from Kirkus Reviews! Near-future science-fiction crimes bleed into dystopian horror centuries later in a wildly imaginative genre-hybrid sequel to Archivist Wasp (2015) . . . Less mythic in tone and more conventional in structure than the first, this title nonetheless
