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.

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.

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 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!

I finished @littlebadger.bsky.social's Sheiné Łénde yesterday and loved it. I only wish I could've read it in fewer sittings. I still think Little Badger has such a fresh voice, and this novel has so much heart and a really satisfying resolution. I know it'll be among my favorite books this year.
