What if I told you my life was a complete dumpster and it occupied me heavily for two months. Also, my life is a slightly curvier dumpster fire now because of estrogen and I am back to shit post and advocate for diverse voices in literature? Would we like it that or ask me to line edit this post?

I had the supreme pleasure of reading @pauljessup.com's novel, SUICIDEMUSIC, for our open reading period last year and immediately fell in love with his writing style, surrealist imagery and world-building. We can't wait to bring you this title in late June.

This story poured out of me all in one go. I literally jumped off the elliptical to write it down. In 904 words, a whole life and world spilled out of me.
It's a story told on a crumpled up note, hidden in a geode, hidden in your wall, by the father you never met, about how he knew you'd find this.

Reading 2024 fiction? Try the short story "Five Answers to Questions You Probably Have" by John Wiswell! You can read it here! @wiswell.bsky.social www.uncannymagazine.com/article/five...
![The cover for Uncanny Magazine Issue 56, “Resurrecting Venus" by Galen Dara: In the background, two planets overlap. A large red one is eclipsed by a blue one, the surface is decorated with waves. At the forefront, a woman's face is split in three pieces that are slowly coming together. Spread throughout the motif of sea waves are present in shades of light blue, dark blue, and purple. The outline of koi are spread throughout too, accompanying the woman. The quote reads: "Your mother was right. I get pissed off upset too easily, and I can’t be trusted with money. I can make a lot of excuses but the clearest answer is she’s always been right about our fights everything." [pissed off and our fights are crossed out]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ktzt5cykiqw7wtuyhm3k4go4/bafkreifie6gmmeyhtwa7vwf66pmwryaobqn35m43r6wmqwg63nors2zv4u@jpeg)
