I just wrote a paranormal story in the form of a fictional forum thread! A young woman discovers a video captured from inside a recurring dream. Read here: suricrasia.online/unfiction/sp...

Two things it’s hard to convey if you weren’t alive back then: the extremity of hysteria, nationalism and Islamophobia the attack prompted, and how efforts to capture this can inadvertently obscure how Islamophobic things already were.

If you haven't read the short story "We Whose Fathers Have Transformed into Wild Animals of the Land, Sea, and Sky" by @spencerwriting.bsky.social from our 🌟June 2026 issue🌟, now's your chance! It's about what we inherit from our fathers, and you can read it here: havenspec.com/fiction/we-w...
An excerpt of the short story "We Whose Fathers Have Transformed into Wild Animals of the Land, Sea, and Sky" by Spencer Nitkey, in Issue 23 of Haven Spec Magazine (June 2026). The text reads:

Kaye dreams of killing his father. When I am not terrified of this dream, I am so jealous that I wish I could steal it through his lips. I don’t know what I’d do if I ever saw my father again. Kaye’s certainty calms me, violent as it is. Now, as Kaye stares down the sight of his rifle and the tremendous buck we’ve been tracking for three days comes up from the brush, he is closer than ever to achieving it. In the Sierra Nevada, mosquito-bitten and muddy, I am not jealous. My tongue tastes of pennies, and more than anything, I am sorry. I want to take Kaye in my hands, run his calloused fingers across my beard, and ground him in something, anything, other than the circle of his scope and his father’s beating heart.


The background is the issue's cover art, titled Red and Gold, by Carly A-F. It shows a skeletal figure with fire and branches for hair as they loom over a solitary human figure in the foreground.

Sometimes we come across a story so compelling that we just want to shout READ THIS at everyone nearby. "Silence, in the Doorway, With the Gun" by Nadia Radovich is one of those stories. Read this!

It's a lingering question with portal fantasies: what about those left behind? "What Are We If I Stay" by KS Walker is a quiet, thoughtful exploration of this idea, and has an ending that will knock your socks off.

A poem of mine is free to read! It's called "ode to beasts and puppets" a tribute to that bittersweet sadness I felt when Pinocchio finally became a real boy & the Beast from Beauty & the Beast became just a man.. There's a kind of longing to pass in these old tales to me eyetothetelescope.com

i’m sorry but i don’t think i’m ever going to be able to stop writing about obsessive and destructive love. i think the reason im drawn to writing in the first place is as a vessel for the swarm of emotions that is fixating on a person

Juniper White 🦊 @junewhitewrites.bsky.social · 09/04/2026
got angsty about how trans women are excluded from queer spaces, and i want to say - it doesn't have to be this way! ive seen queer publishers purposefully inviting trans women in, i have tme friends who are fiercely defensive of the girls in their community. we dont have to settle for the sidelines
020
Juniper White 🦊 @junewhitewrites.bsky.social · 09/04/2026
trans women are severely underrepresented. there's this phenomenon where men tend to think a group is 50/50 men/women when theres its majority men, and you see that reflected in trans spaces. the transfeminine is often a spectacle in media, but we're not platformed in equal measure.

Juniper White 🦊 @junewhitewrites.bsky.social · 09/04/2026
honestly this is better than i expected from a queer press. but i wish tme people would look at the demographics they're publishing to see the disparity.
trans man: showing 1-12 of 15 resultstrans woman: showing all 5 results

Juniper White 🦊 @junewhitewrites.bsky.social · 09/04/2026
if you market your [book/anthology/event/community] as Queer or Trans but there are no trans women involved, i'm exploding you forever

having this horrible anxiety that the anti-imperialist story im writing is going to get me like blacklisted for being like anti-military. which is maybe an insane anxiety but i feel like every white liberal hates imperialism until there's a criticism of the people acting out the imperialist violence

Let's start this week off with a list story, "The Things You'll Wish You'd Known" by Kristen Koopman . This is a story which makes the most of the term "mixed state" in many, many ways:

this is one of my favorite books of all time, genuinely foundational for me. first time i saw my lived experience as a trans woman on the page beyond a narrative about transition - also its just so deeply funny and clever and moving. go read it
