ICYMI: Katy Nyquist’s A HOLY MAIDEN’S GUIDE TO GETTING KIDNAPPED is a #BestBookAwards Finalist (Fantasy)!

zenoagency.com/news/katy-ny...

Published by Podium, out now!
Cover for Katy Nyquist’s A HOLY MAIDEN’S GUIDE TO GETTING KIDNAPPED — a woman wearing an evening gown sits on the lap of a dark lord (spiky armour and all). She has a confident, in-charge look on her face. Clearly, the evil dude had no idea what he was getting himself into… Also a Best Book Awards Finalist “sticker” in the bottom left corner

ICYMI! Reading 2025 fiction?

Try the short story "Six People to Revise You" by J. R. Dawson!

You can read it here!

buff.ly/eyxTA4J
The cover for Uncanny Magazine Issue 62, “Mermay - Golden Hour" by Maxine Vee: In a forest of brown, orange, and golden leaves, a mermaid with orange/gold hair sits on a rock in a small light blue pond. She stares at her open palms, illuminated by a beam of sunlight. Purple flowers in shade lie scattered on the ground in the foreground. The names of the contributors, as well as “Uncanny January/February Issue 62,” are atop the image in white letters. The quote reads: "The form is one page long. No back. Just a front. It should be longer. There are six copies of the form, all different colors. Like I’m working my way through the rainbow to the end where I’ll finally find peace. Red. A parent or guardian. I meet my mother for lunch at the little bistro down the street."

The cover for Uncanny Magazine Issue 64, “Barbershops of the Floating City" by Grace P. Fong: A woman stands facing the viewer, her qipao is a light blue color with flower designs in a darker shade of blue. Her long, black hair trails elegantly behind her while she holds a pair of scissors close to her chest. Behind there is a shadow that looks in the opposite direction, as if she is looking down at the city depicted below. At the top is a sun that crowns the two figures and bathes the entire picture in light. The quote reads: "And she can’t breathe and she can’t talk, and she’s clinging onto the locations of the Five she hid as the war between the celestials and the demons engulfed province after province—hid them because the wholesale destruction they brought when wielded scared her to her bones."
