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

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

The official release date for Latchkey is just two months away, and the first review of the book is in, from Locus Magazine reviewer Liz Bourke, published in the May issue. It’s a lengthy, detailed review, with a lot to say, all of it positive. An excerpt: “Latchkey’s prose is elegantly self-effacing: smooth, easy to read, and full of adroit turns of phrase. Kornher-Stace has a gift for creating atmosphere, from the familial closeness of Isabel’s small community of former

Twenty years: that’s cause for celebration. Amazing as it is to herald two decades of this magazine, that’s not the only number we’re toasting. This issue is the 20th since Mythic Delirium became a web and ebook publication. Not to mention, the print version of Mythic Delirium encompassed 30 issues total, so that makes this issue the 50th overall. The very first issue of Mythic Delirium appeared in spring 1998, printed in a teeny apartment on a cheap inkjet printer

To further whet appetites for the release of Nicole Kornher-Stace’s forthcoming novel Latchkey, we’ve published a preview today, making the first two chapters free for all to read. She clashed with Lissa, blade to blade, then grabbed the wrist of Lissa’s knife-hand and yanked. As Lissa’s knife slid free of Isabel’s, she stumbled forward and was promptly hauled down and in toward the elbow Isabel was firing at the hollow of her throat. (Click to keep reading.) Latchkey will be
