“Homecoming by Proxy” was the first story I ever read for Biome and I remember thinking in a panic, shit, are all submissions this good???? I feel so lucky to have been able to experience this story ❤️ if you’re a fan of Ursula K Le Guin especially, I promise you’ll love this

How many fairy tales, horror movie, and urban legends have warned us not to go into the deep, dark woods? But do we listen?! Well, maybe one of these 7 books will finally convince people that nothing good comes of messing with freaky forests...

this whole "elliptical style (comments inside of comments inside of comments) is a sign of AI" thing becomes considerably more hilarious when you realize I WRITE LIKE THAT BECAUSE THAT'S HOW MY BRAIN WORKS AND IT ALWAYS HAS. ALL I HAVE IS MY BRAIN, WHICH PRE-DATES AI BY QUITE A MARGIN.

Echoing the praise for Mariana Enriquez's Things We Lost in the Fire & The Dangers of Smoking in Bed. Heard very good things about Olga Tokarczuk's The Empusium but haven't read it yet.

Now that many people are buying my 2017 metrical verse translation of the Odyssey in great numbers (thank you, Mr Nolan!), or at least, gazing at it and wondering whether to buy it, I thought I should share some thoughts on the cover design.

Okay if you’re filled with rage after seeing The Odyssey I’d recommend healing with any one of these books.

Writing tip: Give your protagonist a pet cat. In the final pages, shift to the cat's point of view. Follow the cat outside, through moonlit woods, to a pasture where cows kneel in worship around a glowing spacecraft. As the cat trots up its gangway, we glimpse in the windows an all-cat crew.

It’s been said many times before, but there’s nothing quite like trying to look something up for a tetchy bit of world building, finding an incredibly useful, clear, and concise comment that speaks to your problem, and then seeing it was posted by u/jesuschristsbutthole

Anyone have any weird spec fiction short story recs? Like, really weird. Wildly out of pocket. Seared into your brain forever. Something that no AI could ever glurp forth. #fiction #writing #shortstory
