2025 was another great year for African short fiction! Author @wtalabi.com recommends 10 highlights across science fiction, fantasy, and horror, from "magic-for-wealth schemes" to an unsettling religious organization (in space). And if there's some ties in there...? We're not complaining.

Bezos isn't destroying the Washington Post because it isn't profitable. He's destroying the Washington Post because he's calculated that a robust free press threatens the ability of his class to warp society around their interests

@sapphomancer.bsky.social's new novel THE FELICITY COMPLEX is INCREDIBLE. Rich motherfucker apocalypse survivors who arrive at secret shelter to find John Carpenter's The Thing cheerfully taking their luggage. It's body horror, it's sci-fi, it's camp, it's personhood, family & fallout of all kinds.
