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.

"Phantom View" is about a son caretaking for his father, and discovering a blurry person in all their family photos that he has no memory of. The same figure is in all his dad's paintings--and the figure may be in the house with them right now.

Read the sublime Sour Cherry by @nassos.bsky.social - everything I love in a book - lush, interweaving stories where the deeply intimate is told through the universal medium of the fairy tale. A successor to writers like Angela Carter and Tanith Lee.
