My weird girl lit novel got a STARRED REVIEW in Publishers Weekly! 🤩 "Using aliens to explore alienation, SHE ISN'T HERSELF TONIGHT brilliantly turns abduction narratives on their heads. Piper continues to outdo herself.“ out October 27 from Saga! 🛸 www.publishersweekly.com/9781668077122

She Isn’t Herself Tonight
Hailey Piper. Saga, $18 trade paper (256p) ISBN 978-1-6680-7712-2
The latest foray into supernatural horror from Bram Stoker award winner Piper (A Game in Yellow) offers an enthralling twist on the classic alien abduction plot. At age 30, Rabbit (a reclaimed childhood nickname) is eagerly awaiting the return of the aliens, or “Guests,” as she refers to them, that first came for her at age 10 and then again at age 20. She has never felt truly understood, not by her mother, who paraded her around local churches as a child to tell the story of her first abduction—substituting the aliens for angels—nor her recent ex-boyfriend, Leo, who accused her of being “too much work.” As she reels from the breakup, she takes comfort in knowing that the “Guests,” the only ones who have ever made her feel safe and cared for, will be returning soon. Piper mines a lot of tension from Rabbit’s yearning for her abductors, making readers just as anxious for their arrival as Rabbit herself, even as, in the meantime, Rabbit’s body undergoes a mysterious, possibly extraterrestrial transformation. Using aliens to explore alienation, this brilliantly turns abduction narratives on their heads. Piper continues to outdo herself. Agent: Lane Heymont, Tobias Literary. (Oct.)

My #fantasy #shortstory “Venom is Poison is Strength is Venom” is now free to read @flametreepress ! Written for a Crown of Serpents theme, you can probably guess which myth this story reimagines. And be careful, the serpents’ teeth are sharp. 🐍 🔗 below. Check it out!!

FLAME TREE PRESS FICTION WITHOUT FRONTIERS
Venom is Poison is Strength is Venom
Abigail Kemske
You get your first serpent on your sixteenth birthday when you first attract the eye of men. Your body now a seduction, a temptation of lustful thoughts. It's your fault for the clothes you wear, the rouged lips, luscious hair scented sweet berry.
You steal their eyes away from their wives. You had it coming.
The first one hurts the worst, fangs sliding under the thin skin at your temple, the place it chose to latch. It wiggles around your posterior head as it becomes part of you.
Mother had told you to wipe away the blood and to hide the serpent beneath your tresses, for no man wants a woman-of-fangs.

👀July 2026 Poetry👀 "The First Spider on the Moon" is a poem by @hvpatterson.bsky.social about empathy and a longing for that which might never be reached Read it here: havenspec.com/poetry/the-f...

Excerpt of the poem The First Spider on the Moon by H.V. Patterson. The text reads:

The jumping spider who lives in my kitchen
longs to leap to the moon,
to run fuzzy trichobothria over
her pitted-cheese surface

I watch him jump, each leap fifty times his body length,
relatively impressive,
but objectively mere inches.

The cover art is titled "Finally, some sleep" and is by Caleb Worcester. It features an astronaut lying comfortably on a cloud high above the lights of a city.
