Publication day is here! Wendy Waring’s THE HUNGER OF THOSE WHO BUILT IT is now available everywhere books are sold. Good Reading calls it “seductively spellbinding” and declares, “Debuts aren’t supposed to be this good.” We couldn’t agree more.

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/...

Just finished These Lifeless Things by @premeemohamed.com and it's instantly one of my favourite post-apocalypse stories. History and memory colliding with the unknowable, even as it curdles into the banal and knowable. There's a beat ten pages from the end that made me gasp. Amazing work.

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.
