I have to say, this weekend was so refreshing. In my teaching dayjob the continual refrain is that people don't read anymore (and this is not without evidence unfortunately) and we're reshaping curricula for very low literacy even at post-secondary. It was lovely to be around those excited to read.

Beneath the headline is a cropped detail of Juliane Van Huizen’s vivid orange, purple, and teal cover art, followed by an introduction describing Waring’s eco-fiction/solarpunk novel as a story about building—or farming—a better future, a missing sister, and the relationship between personal tragedy and environmental issues.

The title is the warning. This Strange Horizons review places Wendy Waring’s novel squarely in our moment of wealth inequality -- when we must decide who our society serves, what we owe one another, and what kind of future we will build. Check out the full review here: strangehorizons.com/...
Purple promotional graphic featuring the Strange Horizons logo, the cover of Wendy Waring’s The Hunger of Those Who Built It, and the Stelliform Press logo. Text reads: “Like all the best dystopian novels, The Hunger of Those Who Built It forces readers to confront the current drift of history into disaster. Nothing about this novel is far-fetched, the science already exists, and the will to exploit our world for personal advantage is already in power. The Hunger of Those Who Built It reminds me that I know the daughter of a multi-millionaire who is building a private, secure paradise with other trust-fund babies on an island off Central America. You’ve heard such stories, too. Whatever they claim about fairness and democracy, there is a tiny element of humanity with an extraordinary sense of entitlement, and those people don’t care who gets hurt in pursuit of their comfort.” - Jan Priddy for Strange Horizons. Available everywhere books are sold.

A gold-framed poster set against a sunlit Paris street features the cover of Wendy Waring’s The Hunger of Those Who Built It and the Stelliform Press logo. Text reads: “Paris, 2049. Snowstorms, flooded streets, greenhouse humidity, weathered ancient stone. In this sensual portrayal of ecological collapse, the only hope is to rescue the world from the systems that claim to protect it. Save seeds, remember one another, refuse silence. All the things that we must do now too. ‘I’m here for hope,’ declares one of the main characters early on.

For those of us regretfully missing WorldCon, today E.G. Condé read from his forthcoming novella, CACIQUES, and revealed the new cover. We're thrilled to work with artist Paulina Niño again to create another stunning cover for this follow-up to the award-winning SORDIDEZ.
Cover reveal graphic on a textured teal background. Large text announces “Cover Reveal” and “A new novella in the world of Sordidez.” The cover of E. G. Condé’s Caciques shows a reclining figure beneath a glowing golden orb containing a Taíno-inspired symbol, rendered in rich red, orange, and black. The Sordidez cover, featuring a woman’s portrait among dark foliage, appears behind it. Text reads “Coming in 2027 from Stelliform Press.” Cover art for both Caciques and Sordidez is by Paulina Niño.

Promotional graphic for Wendy Waring’s The Hunger of Those Who Built It, featuring the book cover and a photo of Waring against a lush Parisian interior. Christine Higdon writes: “Can change happen by working from within? Do we just gently bend the rules of the old order, or must those who want to see a better world challenge everything about the status quo, sometimes by any means necessary? Two sisters, Diane and Helen, estranged for years, are both bent on saving the planet. Diane, architect of a green community in Paris, is convinced that her project will be a model for urban sustainability and food security throughout the world. Helen thinks that Diane is just helping her corporate bosses rearrange the deck chairs on the Titanic. Set in the near future, Waring brings us a suspenseful, intelligent, and hopeful tale about climate action and who reaps its benefits. This is a book for our times.”

Graphic set against a dark, mossy forest. At right is the green illustrated cover of THE WETWORKS MIRACLE by Caleb Sierra, featuring a many-limbed creature holding a book and quill. At left, Cynthia Gómez, author of MUÑECA and THE NIGHTMARE BOX AND OTHER STORIES, calls the novella “a harrowing journey through an increasingly strange and beautiful world," praising its human-like creatures, psychedelic fungi, beautiful and grotesque body horror, “dense, gorgeous, musical prose,” and extraordinary ecosystem. Below are the Stelliform Press logo and the words “Coming this week. Everywhere.”

I spoke to an Ingram rep about this and it is, unfortunately, a real thing that they are forcing us all to do. Shit like this shouldn't be "opt out" and if you just happen to miss the notice the machines eat your art 🤬

The Wetworks Miracle is out next week! It's a quick and brutal read, a delightful mix of weird horror, biopunk, and portal fantasy. If you're curious about one of the weirdest books we've ever published, check out this review from Chasing Shadows: catchingshadows67297...
Promotional graphic for Caleb Sierra’s THE WETWORKS MIRACLE. The green illustrated cover shows a strange furred creature with multiple arms holding a book, quill and other objects. Above is the review site name Catching Shadows (a wicked convergence of circumstances). Review excerpt: “The anti-colonial and anti-capitalism themes show up from the beginning. The colony are the descendants of refugees from a world they actively used up and destroyed. ... Their current religion is based on a transactional relationship with god, where the priests are literally accountants, and everyone is essentially indentured to god (and also, the state). ... This book is excellent and absolutely brutal ... if you are a fan of body horror, weird fiction ... then this is definitely the book for you.” Text below: “This weird horror is coming July 30. Order now from your favorite indie bookstore.” Stelliform Press logo.
