My fantasy novelette “Limue’s Alphabet” is out now in @thefuturefire.bsky.social, with artwork by Barbara Candiotti!

This is a story about language, writing, colonialism, and divinity, and it’s one of my favorite things I’ve written.

Limue’s Alphabet, Eleanor Glewwe

In the dappled shade of a stand of bamboo, an old woman takes a stick and scratches two curved lines in the dusty yellow earth.

We did that once in 2020. (We were good and did not go ashore.)

A paddler sits in the bow of a canoe on the water just a short distance from a rocky shore. On shore is an official sign that reads Canada Border Inspection/Contrôle frontalier, with a small Canadian flag in the upper left corner. The sign is surrounded by pine trees against a blue sky.

This story is narrated by a chorus of "Jewish reds" who've built a utopian housing collective in 20th c. NYC. When a not-much-beloved member of the co-op dies, the inexplicable haunting begins. This is a richly textured, often funny story--I quite enjoyed it.

Rowley Amato offers the dark but hopeful, gorgeously voiced “The Sons of Victor Levitak.” The always superb @toeken.bsky.social provides art. #freeScifi #speculativefiction

The Sons of Victor Levitak, Rowley Amato

Victor Levitak was not well-loved by the other residents of the Coop, but we sat a feeble shiva for him anyway.

Strange Horizons is IMO the grandparent of indie online SFF zines. Started IIRC by young writers w no pro publishing experience, online, free to read, paying good rates. Later a 501c3 nonprofit. I would not have known I could start BCS w/o their example. And still fresh & current. Happy Birthday SH!

Strange Horizons @strangehorizons.bsky.social · 26d

Strange Horizons published our first issue 25 years ago this month! 🎉

Thank you to everyone who has ever read, shared, submitted, donated! We wouldn't be here without you and we hope you'll continue to support us into the future!

Huh! I've gotten two vaccines at once before, but I did one in each arm.

I loved Hild, and I also need to reread it and then read Menewood.

Look what's on display at the public library in Grinnell, Iowa! (Featuring @ekjohnston.bsky.social and @rachelhartmanbooks.com, among others.)

The end cap of a library bookcase. A sign at the top reads New This Month. Underneath the sign is a plastic shelf holding Titan of the Stars by E. K. Johnston and Amelia, If Only by Becky Albertalli. Under that shelf is a second plastic shelf holding Lady's Knight by Amie Kaufman and Meagan Spooner, Among Ghosts by Rachel Hartman, and Never Thought I'd End Up Here by Ann Liang.

I wondered that! But I think it would be more "slickly" written if that were true. Maybe???

Eleanor Glewwe @eleanorglewwe.bsky.social · Aug 20

Also, not sure if they intend these as leading questions, but the answers to all the yes/no questions should be NO!

Eleanor Glewwe @eleanorglewwe.bsky.social · Aug 20

I'm not sure that's quite what they meant to say, but it can certainly be interpreted that way. Relatedly, the opening and closing paragraphs are not terribly well written...

Relatable! I have not written seriously in the last year, and I really need to find a way to work it back into my routine. Good luck!
