My latest review for @ancillaryreviewofbooks.org is up!

@psychopomp.comOct 9, 2026, 8:58 PMReposted by @ancillaryreviewofbooks.org

hello, I am doing some research and would like to tap into the collective brains of BSKY: 1. can you share some genre or literary fiction magazines that have closed and the archive is NO LONGER ONLINE 2. the same but the archives remain online FOR NOW i would also appreciate RTs for awareness đź’€

Really dug this double-review: setting up lines of thought about place, climate, and change over time. Good stuff.

it's been great in recent years to see new venues like Ancillary Review of Books, Typebar &c. appearing to uphold this whole sphere of discourse (there have been periods where at least to me it felt like it was Strange Horizons carrying the torch on their own)

Elise is dealing with some really tough things right now. She's a good friend and a fabulous editor and author. If you can help, every little bit counts.

Hey, if you're waiting on an ARB email, apologies, I was away from my desk for a bit (and it was great), shoveling through the inbox now!

Shortlist discussion time! @chloroformtea.bsky.social returns for the 2026 Le Guin Prize list: 9 of the most interesting speculative fiction books from last year. Lots of opinions, comparisons, and thoughts on what constitutes "Le Guin-y-ness". Listen before the winner is announced Oct. 21!

This book is a perfect example of why I think Zen Cho is a literature genius.
