Those Handsome Lights As little child, I'd rub my eyes and pretty soon, the rainbows came to dance around the citadels of Agnetha, then Tamerlane. I ground away, more colours grew, so beautiful, if scary bright; saw giant shapes of irises emerge from luminescent white. My eyes full raddled now, but still I don't regret those handsome lights. In recent years, I crawl and creep through fairy tale, delinquent verse, rub kindling of unthinking mind, try not to flinch as flames disperse, go round the houses, miss the point, attempt to bring the message home, pentameter, tetrameter in lieu of drums and metronome. When missing from the arias, you'll find me in the overtones.

All I want for Christmas is for you to read The Monsters Among Us!

I spent six years writing this deeply immersive dark fantasy novel, a book that dares to empower neurodivergent people in a world that so often condescends to them, and knocks them down.

"storytelling is graceful, poignant, and rooted firmly in historical reality. Yet it is her emotional insight—her ability to step into the heart and mind of a woman repeatedly vilified by history—that makes this novel especially compelling."

Want a fun #fantasy with dragons, magic, and humor?

Try The Return of Innocence.

#PickoftheDay is a fine piece from one of the most distinctive voices in our community. A true heir to Flann O'Brien, Sean McNulty serves up another slice of well-written whimsy, The Everlasting Hoax.
