Just a week left to nominate work for the Nebula Awards! I've updated the round up of eligibility and recommendations link post as a handy reference for folks finalizing their ballots. acwise.net/what-have-yo...

A lovely story that draws on fairytales to explore cycles of violence, and escaping those cycles - Some to Cradle, Some to Eat by @foxesandroses.bsky.social www.lightspeedmagazine.com/fiction/some...

An excellent reason to buy books - in order to enable more books!

Looking for a read with a high creep factor? CATFISH LULLABY by @acwise.bsky.social and published by Broken Eye Books is singing your song. Just one more cool novella that's included in February's #storybundle. You can get it here: storybundle.com/horror

The deadline to nominate work is coming up on 2/28 (I believe). Check out eligible work and what other folks recommend.
