Since I'm here I'd be remiss not to promote The Oxford Handbook of Monsters in Classical Myth, edited by Debbie Felton. I am honored to be included here among all these excellent teratologists, many of whom I've looked up to for years.

🍃HARVEST BLESSINGS! This year I marched with the Beneficent Order of the Green Men at the Maryland Renaissance Festival and it was a delight! 🍂

I don’t post here often but attenzione! You want to support NESS , especially #3 and its new Jirel story! But wait, there’s more! “High Water,” my very first (extremely) short S&S story will be published therein, a smol weird tale of a queer sorcerer and hagiomancy in late medieval Venice ⚔️!
You can still pre-order the issue of NESS with @mollytanzer.bsky.social's new Jirel story - #3 - in digital, softcover, and hardcover! newedge2024.backerkit.com/hosted_preor...
