The preorder page is up for STONE GODS, Adam Golaski's new collection of weird tales, and No Press's second book! X is using the old thumbnail, probably bc X is broken. But you reserve yr copy of SG today! Nobody unsettles me quite like Adam. no-press.org

My man is basically doing a PhD thesis on MJH on his Patreon, legit worth listening to from end to end, solid gold analysis on the best writer of the fantastic you haven't read patreon.com/SFULTRA/posts
If you need a new dizzyingly creative fantasy* series and want an introduction, or if you’re just interested in sharp lit crit of frighteningly ambitious SFF, listen to Sean wade into M John Harrison’s VIRICONIUM. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas…

For a good* time read this short story by Adam Golaski *pretty dark and unsettling actually but some of us consider that a good time, especially when done this well

The boys over at Elder Sign were gracious enough to get into Adam Golaski’s “Distant Signals-“ — featured in MOONCALVES — with me. If you’re into cursed media horror stories (I’m really digging P Tremblay’s HORROR MOVIE, currently), it’s worth checking out podcasters.spotify.com/pod/s…

loling over this bit in Meaghan Garvey’s recent Charli review: literally a “the problems are bad, but their causes are very good” re dimes square fash culture. Nobody’s as sentimental for the Terry Richardson era of youth culture as Garvey, not just aesthetically but politically

Ofc per Walter Benjamin, aesthetics and politics are one and the same with fascism. Red Scare didn’t come from nowhere; the seed of reactionary post-feminism was always in the weird post-Babitz “thin white girl provocateur” thing which ran thru NYC left circles on the ‘10s

Congrats! This really an excellent collection that flew under a lot of radars, so why not give it a look if you like strange, unsettling fiction?
