Reminder: In light of Bad Bunny's Superbowl performance spotlighting Latino culture, here's a hefty list of Latino speculative fiction authors I curated if anyone wants to take a gander and read some phenomenal work. Much love to all!

More publication news this week. The latest Not One of Us arrived, containing my story The Orange Room, inspired by the tiles in our downstairs toilet.
The cover of Not One of US #85 showing a shadow figure on a door. The Orange Room, by Steve Toase Chamomile (poem), by Devan Barlow Little Islands, by Floyd Largent Stray Angels (poem), by Jacqueline West Not From Around Here, by Margaret Lesh 452 (poem), by Jennifer Crow The Avalon Procedure (poem), by Sonya Taaffe Organisms, by Lauren Hruska Heroes (poem), by Gwynne Garfinkle Art: John and Flo Stanton The Orange Room by Steve Toase Finn had been drunk when he fell asleep. Not unpleasantly, though the remnants of good quality whiskey tasted sour in his mouth as the night’s hours had lengthened. When he woke, the intensity of the orange confused him. He’d slept in his own bed, the streetlight outside fitted with low energy LEDs giving off a steady blue-white glow, not the sodium radiance that now surrounded him. He wondered if it was a memory from childhood, when gas trapped in lamps lit the city streets. He rubbed his head, expecting the gesture to ease an emerging hangover, but there was none. Just the orange glow, the taste of single malt at the back of his throat and the sense of displacement. The sense of not being where he should be. Climbing to his feet, he saw he was in a small room, tiles covering the walls, floor and ceiling. There was no light above him. Instead the glow seemed to emerge from the tiles. Each one was similar. Glazed a deep, burnt orange, each one decorated with a pattern intensified by repetition. At the centre was a circular space created by the lack of any further intrusion. Lines like sun flares radiated to circular motifs, these in turn surrounded by patterns made of small inscribed lines that seemed different from tile to tile.

Welp, did not get an HWA nod for long fiction (novella) for Stoker 🏆, but with 55 4.1-4.3 ratings on Amazon and Goodreads and a Readsy Must Read, it doesn’t suck if you like eco horror werewolf tales of Cajun swamps

Some cool tips here from @thisishorror.bsky.social. I've already read THE GULP 3: THE RISE by @alanbaxter.bsky.social & its terrific. Review dropping on @horrordna.bsky.social soon. If you like horror about weird & dangerous little towns, this Australian trilogy ranks amongst the very VERY best.
