@bookjockeyalex.bsky.social is recommending a body horror summer camp, a Carmilla retelling, and a cursed postman (and many more). Which of August's must-read SFF short stories will you pick up first?

Must Read Short Speculative Fiction: August 2025 - Reactor
As someone who works in a school in Southern California, August and September are chaotic months with too much to do competing with weeks of baking heat and an overwhelming desire to be back on summer...

So thrilled and honoured to see "Welcome to Spruceway" on this list.

I am so happy poetry is getting a category at the Nebulas and I'm looking forward to seeing some fantastic nominations.
Fellow SFWA members, I hope you won't be leaving the poetry section blank in your Nebula nominations. It's the first year of the award, and important to show that it gets the love it deserves.
If you don't know where to find great SFF poetry, just ask me or another SFWA poet, and we can direct you

A sneak peek of next week’s update of The Witch Wolf! Evie is stable, so Elle can finally begin to put life back together.
The full moon is rising, so now is a great time to catch up!

Work done for the day and almost immediately after I'm trapped under a cat.
She's purring very loudly.
There's no escape for me now (affectionate)
