A photo from tonight's event at The Twisted Spine: @carrielaben.com in conversation with @johnlangan.bsky.social for the launch of Carrie-Edmund's new novel SMOKE SEASON.

The two authors seated in comfy chairs against a backdrop of bookshelves. On the left is Carrie-Edmund Laben, talking into a microphone. On the right is John Langan, listening intently as Carrie-Edmund speaks. The lighting is a little odd, so it looks like there's a spotlight on John as he listens.

Maybe you aren't necessarily a fan of hollow earth stories (though these aren't what you'd expect), or weird dreamlike fiction. But the final story, Pandora, in @orringrey.com 's new collection from @wordhorde.bsky.social is worth the price of admission alone. Deeply sad, deeply moving...

I read an advance of this and found it a great mix of fun and weird and horrible. I know that sounds counterintuitive but it's not. Ordinary folks come in close contact with the inexplicable and are changed by it, unmade and remade.
