Was reminded of my very favorite tweet of all time today:
Philip K Dick movies all have names like CORTICAL IMPASSE and are based on short stories called like "Let's See What's Going On Down at the Brain Factory"

The time has come for me to join the world of short form content. I'll be posting on books and ideas that have left an impression on me, my life as an author and doctoral student, and work on my first novel!

A PhD-level expert isn’t someone who can answer any question off the top of their head. A PhD-level expert is someone who will stare at some piece of information, say, “that doesn’t seem right,” and then spend enormous amounts of time obsessively hunting down every piece of information they can…

Time to be blunt. With the disintegration of trad social media, AI BS, & the constant stream of distracting bad news, it is harder than ever to get readers for SFF magazines. If what we do is important to you, please boost our posts wherever you see them. ❤️🦄

Enter the curator
Nine years ago, on 1 January 2016, Metaphorosis published its first* story, "The Demon in the Page" by Joshua Philip Johnson. About a month ago, we published our last, "This is My City and I am Her Song" by Suzanne J. Willis. Each is an example of the style and lyricism we strove for across the nine years between.
