Happened to be in Kyoto shortly after the release of Babelzine Vol 4, managed to track down a physical copy at the lovely @cavabooks.bsky.social store. What a joy to see my story in translation! Thanks so much to everyone involved.

As my six-year-old daughter would say, "Feast your eyes on this." Excited to have a story in this beautiful book from @joshuapalmatier.bsky.social alongside these great writers.
My story "Third Eye Peeled" has B&E, blood divination, and surprise kidney transplants. Enjoy!
