Day 21 and we've still got more stories for you, in the shape of The Last Wills And Testaments Of Captain Kohle by @bingingout.bsky.social in which the eponymous Captain Kohle is summoned back to life for advice - again and again until we learn the truth of his death
This doubles as my awards eligibility post for 2025 😁

This is too much of a gem to be left around only for Malayalam speakers. I was thinking about Eko the movie and was reading "Parinamam", an award winning Malayalam novel where dogs feature prominently. I mean. This is one of the most bonker novels in Malayalm okay ? Badass.

InkFoundry's "surprise me" feature served up Lavie Tidhar's "Seven Vampires."
In short: what if Holmes and Watson were vampires and Conan Doyle had a sense of humor? Very entertaining read thanks to the characters and comedy. It was the inverse of a locked room mystery (an open road mystery?)

New story alert! This story fought me tooth and nail to get written, but it's become perhaps my favorite short story of mine. It also contains a polarizing POV choice that, IIRC, split my writing groups. kaleidotrope.net/winter-2026/...

#IndiaSky Do we have this in India? I've definitely felt the urban/rural divide, but it wasn't typically framed as a conversation about "Indianness" (except where it mapped on to English fluency)
Do other countries have this weird notion that you’re not a “real” representative of the nation if you live in an urban center? Like do the French say Parisians aren’t really French? Are you considered not a real German if you live in Berlin? Or is this mainly a weird American thing?
