Our novelette THE ADVENTURE OF THE HIDDEN LANE by Max Jason Peterson (who also did the cover and illustrations!) comes out Nov 3! It's a new (queer) Sherlock Holmes story in classic Doyle style: a story by Watson to be opened long after his death. Blurb and more: duckprintspress.com/2026/10/12/c...

The front cover of The Adventure of the Hidden Lane: A Sherlock Holmes Novelette by Max Jason Peterson with Illustrations by the Author. It shows watercolor artwork of two men running through a forest as if approaching the reader; they are recognizable as Sherlock Holmes, in a blue suit and deerstalker hat, and Dr. James Watson, carrying a medical bath and wearing a suit and bowler hat.

In light of some magazines pulling scummy things on creators lately, I’m doing a little thread on short story rights. I don't want anybody getting taken advantage of. Also, if you're new, this stuff can be confusing!

Extremely tired of articles that put all the onus of an AI’s bad actions on the AI itself instead of the human beings who made the garbage and should be held accountable!!!

Creating art from nothing makes you feel so powerful. You act like it's no big deal but when someone tells you they liked a piece you wrote or or an ad you did it fills up your energy bar like none other. Because it didn't exist before you made it. AI stans will never understand this feeling.

It's Knife Ghost season.

A pumpkin patch. In the distance, a faint image of a blue ghost surrounded by a halo of carving knives. The text reads: you're carving. The knife ghost waits. Because you're using a knife. Instead of a pumpkin carving kit. Always use a pumpkin carving kit, never a knife.

Raiders of the Lost Ark. My dad covered my eyes at this scene. I pulled his fingers apart so I could see what was going on. I had nightmares for months and it was 10 years before I could bring myself to watch another Indiana Jones movie.

It all started on this day. Thank you for a wonderful twenty years.

Text in the center reads: 20 Years Oct. 2006 - Oct. 2026, clarkesworldmagazine.com

(right) Cover art for issue 241 by Marcel Deneuve is "Labyrinths of Azarax" and features a blue and white mechanical eye in a circular opening looking at a small, white, glowing humanoid figure standing on a large pipe in the tunnel. Many pipes line the walls, all heading out to the main room. Pipes are yellow and gray. Room beyond is blue.

(left) Cover art for issue 1 by Tomasz Pietrzyk is "The Town of the Towers" and features a surreal town of yellowy white distorted towers with reddish orange roofs that overhang the towers and rise to a point. Mishapen dark windows and doors are scattered about on the buildings. Orange sky gives the entire piece a warm tone.
