Limue’s Alphabet, Eleanor Glewwe
In the dappled shade of a stand of bamboo, an old woman takes a stick and scratches two curved lines in the dusty yellow earth.

My fantasy novelette “Limue’s Alphabet” is out now in @thefuturefire.bsky.social, with artwork by Barbara Candiotti!
This is a story about language, writing, colonialism, and divinity, and it’s one of my favorite things I’ve written.

all this omg if you use these words ppl will think you use chatgpt! Omg stop using emdashes. Excuse, I will use whatever the hell I want. Writers wrote whatever they wanted and this machine gobbled it all up and now we can't use words and punctuation because the machine spits it out? Absurd.

This story is narrated by a chorus of "Jewish reds" who've built a utopian housing collective in 20th c. NYC. When a not-much-beloved member of the co-op dies, the inexplicable haunting begins. This is a richly textured, often funny story--I quite enjoyed it.
Rowley Amato offers the dark but hopeful, gorgeously voiced “The Sons of Victor Levitak.” The always superb @toeken.bsky.social provides art. #freeScifi #speculativefiction

The Sons of Victor Levitak, Rowley Amato
Victor Levitak was not well-loved by the other residents of the Coop, but we sat a feeble shiva for him anyway.

Strange Horizons is IMO the grandparent of indie online SFF zines. Started IIRC by young writers w no pro publishing experience, online, free to read, paying good rates. Later a 501c3 nonprofit. I would not have known I could start BCS w/o their example. And still fresh & current. Happy Birthday SH!
Strange Horizons published our first issue 25 years ago this month! 🎉
Thank you to everyone who has ever read, shared, submitted, donated! We wouldn't be here without you and we hope you'll continue to support us into the future!

I finished @littlebadger.bsky.social's Sheiné Łénde yesterday and loved it. I only wish I could've read it in fewer sittings. I still think Little Badger has such a fresh voice, and this novel has so much heart and a really satisfying resolution. I know it'll be among my favorite books this year.

This is a delightful story! And a bit of mystery still lingers at the end, at least for me... Early on, it made me think of Sarah Pinsker's "Where Oaken Hearts Do Gather," so I had to smile when the author cited that story as inspiration in her interview!
My @uncannymagazine.bsky.social novelette formatted as a series of Goodreads reviews is here! It also features probably the longest title in history 😆
It's a story about friendship, queerness, books, fandom, and generally living life and finding ways forward even when things aren't looking great.
