My favorite reads of the last few years have all been from indies like Tenebrous and Shortwave. Heck, if you're into novellas (and you should be) that's where most of the action is.
2 ongoing convos are dovetailing rn:
1. a holiday shopping $ blackout aimed at big business;
2. worry over small presses closing or paring down.
Let's talk direct action: YOU CAN DO BOTH😀

I read THE EXTRA on Halloween and still mean to post my reader review in the usual places, but for now, in this space, here it is in a nutshell: It rocks. Absolutely gripping delivery on a five-star high concept. Quite eager to read its sequels when they drop.
Between Ingram and bookstore orders (thanks @littleghostsbooks.bsky.social!) we've sold nearly another 100 paperback copies of THE EXTRA today alone. 👀
You'll be hearing about this book for a while. And the next in the series, THE OTHER, is coming June 2026!

I had the pleasure of getting to know Cristina Hartmann through a One Story workshop some years ago. Her fantastic new short story in Witness, "Found in Translation," follows the heteroglossic landscape of a Brazilian-American Deaf character, an identity the author shares. Recommended.

On August 12, 1971, 16-year-old me mailed the first story I ever wrote off on its first submission to my dream market, F&SF. My tale was quickly rejected. On July 17th, 2025, I finally sold a story to that magazine. Here's why I felt I had to withdraw that story. www.scottedelman.com/wordpress/20...

That's a good list. The temptation to include both Silence of the Lambs and Jaws on my own is strong.

Quote this with the first four Horror movies that come to your mind that are 10/10s for you. No cheating. Just the first four that pop into your head.
I'll go first:

Lit prof here. This is not an unhinged opinion. It's true, and my entire approach to teaching authors like Shakespeare is based on it. Kind of nice to see someone else say it.
Most "classics" are boring as fuck to a modern reader in no small part because the context of the story is not understood by them and so many of the allusions and "inside jokes" known to then-contemporary readers have been lost in time and in translation
Tell me your most unhinged literary opinion, as a little treat
