And while we’re talking ecological weird fiction, I was just thinking about one of the most incredible novellas I’ve ever read the other day, The Impossible Resurrection of Grief by New Zealand author Octavia Cade. Truly chilling, highly recommend stelliform.press/index.php/oct

Submitted a draft of my contribution to an an upcoming Gemma Files tribute anthology centered on her book "Experimental Film".

"Vintage Reality" is a 6k-word story on what happens to a VR developer when he starts to pull the Victorian-era stereoscop (and all that stereograph content) into the Metaverse.

The story came together pretty quickly, and I'm pretty proud of it. Waiting for feedback from the editors.

I just finished a new story called “Strange Attractor at the End of Time”! Coming in at 3,800 words (roughly 16 pages), it'll be just perfect for the upcoming Neutral Milk Hotel -inspired anthology from Hungry Shadow Press! Unfortunately, submissions don't open until December, so I'll have to sit on this a while. (Let me know if you want to beta-read in the meantime.) This one is inspired by the NMH song “I Will Bury You in Time,” and I’m quite pleased with it.

I just got my first review on Amazon for my first solo fiction book!

"Surreal Sci-Fi For Serious Thinkers

This novel from Cliff Jones, Jr. is my kind of science fiction novel: It's unpredictable, profound, philosophical and filled with insightful social commentary and brilliant satire on ever page.

Honestly, there are enough great ideas in this book to fill 3 other sci-fi novels, but somehow Jones manages to cram one ingenious concept after the other into every single chapter.

Once I started, I couldn't stop thinking about it until I reached the ending.

Looking forward to more great writing from this author. He's definitely a talent to watch!"

Cyclonopedia de Reza Negarestani.

Entre philosophie et science-fiction, entre réalisme spéculatif et horreur lovecraftienne, un plongeon dans un des genres les plus intéressants de ces dernières années, la "theory-fiction".

Ce n'est disponible qu'en anglais (espérons une traduction), mais il y a si jamais une bonne recension en français dans le dernier numéro de ReS Futurae.

WHAT MOVES THE DEAD by T. Kingfisher is a reimagining of Poe's "The Fall of the House of Usher" that's interested in what actually caused Madeline's catalepsy and Roderick's hypersensitivity, and introduces more characters to unfold the mystery. Alex Easton is the narrator, a soldier who served with Roderick, and arrives with kan batsman Angus after a summons from the ailing Madeline. It's a creepy story, and the decaying house and the ultimate explanation are both genuinely dreadful. us.macmillan.com/books/9781250 (2/n)

The Haunted Hotel and Other Stories by Wilkie Collins contains the 1878 novel The Haunted Hotel and an assortment of rather unconventional ghost stories and uncanny tales. Superb subtle horror from one of the masters.
