@bookjockeyalex.bsky.social is recommending a body horror summer camp, a Carmilla retelling, and a cursed postman (and many more). Which of August's must-read SFF short stories will you pick up first?

Must Read Short Speculative Fiction: August 2025 - Reactor
As someone who works in a school in Southern California, August and September are chaotic months with too much to do competing with weeks of baking heat and an overwhelming desire to be back on summer...

So thrilled and honoured to see "Welcome to Spruceway" on this list.
Finished Dispatch yesterday.
Had a great time with the Z-Team. The dispatching gameplay was fun and I was really emotionally engaged with the dialogue choices. Will definitely play again to see what else can happen.

One of the most incredible shots I've ever gotten, in Yellowstone. This coyote walked over a ridge in the blowing snow and posed for me, with a small grin on its face, the snowfalkes like stars in the background.
The desolation and beauty of life and nature is grounding, and so good for the soul.

Merry Christmas y’all. A lot happened this year for which I’m grateful. Some highlights from personal projects, creative playtime, and transitioning back into a professional role.

I have left the house in Date Everything (i.e. finished the game).
What a silly and sweet-natured game. I really liked all the different art-styles used to send-off the characters in the end.

Pink Ghost Pipe plant at my hometown, Logy Bay, #Newfoundland Canada. Ghost Pipes are most commonly white, but some have pink or even red colouration. Pic from a couple of years ago, in August.

Finished the main game of The Roottrees are Dead (filled in the whole family tree too!)
I love this sort of deduction game. Definitely going to try the additional mystery that unlocks at the end.

For the Neve fans...
The wonderful Jessica Clark has her live Instagram signing this Saturday, December 13th starting 2pm PST.
Jessica was fantastic to work with and it was an honour watching her bring Neve to life. She really dialled in on what Neve cared about and who she wanted to protect.
