Someone once told me that, whenever she read genre fiction with political/revolutionary themes or messaging—and what genre fiction doesn’t, in this day and age—she could always tell whether the writer had gone to meetings. I think about that a lot.

One thing I'll say about DC not only canceling Red Hood, but recalling the first issue and refunding stores for buying it, is that you can still get Neil Gaiman's work through them. They still work with Otto Schmidt. Eddie Berganza worked there for years AFTER the formation of a policy that no women

My reach is small, my powers are limited and my influence is non-existent but if this book is even one-fifth as good as The Fortunate Fall it stands a very good chance of being one of the best books of 2026

What a gorgeous, lush piece of brutality
I am a girl in a woman’s body, I am a woman in a girl's body, I am thirteen and three thousand years old. My Mother tells me a story about a princess who was turned to cinders.

this is the kind of thing that would cause a folklorist in 1919 to declare that the Dalek costume goes back to pagan times
I love our town fair day, but there's always one violent idiot who has to ruin it for everyone, trundling around making threats.

far be it from me to cast aspersions on our state's largest export, but I feel like if Stephen King had actually ever been on well water he wouldn't be so casual about where he dumped his bodies

The Nighthawks diner was based on a diner in Greenwich village, where Hopper was living. But this AI can’t actually provide a historical context for the painting, something for which there might arguably be a use case. All it does is give you a walking tour of West Bummer, Illinois
You know that classic Edward Hopper painting evoking isolation and despair? We used AI to make it look terrible for no reason

It is picked up by a girl. A quiet girl who cares a lot and does her caring quietly. This girl is Little Jessie Wylan...
