Hi Tammy! I have an eligibility question that the Astounding Award folks were unable to answer and they directed me to you, but I haven't found any other way to reach you online. Is there a way I can reach you directly?

Seeing talk of various award lists has reminded me to ask: if anyone here is a member of the Mythopoeic Society & would like a copy of House of Dusk to read (& consider nominating for the 2026 Mythopoeic Award for adult novel) please reach out! I would love to get you a copy!

Tashan Mehta's lush prose reads as a hazy fairy tale; its ruminations on setting and sisterhood, pieced from different narrators across different formats, earns Mad Sisters of Esi its position as one of Reactor's most highly anticipated novels of the year:

Fantasy religions often feel like reskins either of ancient Greek or Norse pantheons or of the medieval Catholic church. But what more interesting choices can we make when building faith within an invented world?
