As a lifelong Star Trek fan, this is surreal. Listen to actual Wil Wheaton narrate my short story The God of Minor Troubles on Season 1 of his new story podcast!

Are wrongs ever fully righted? Do intentions matter? Can we redeem ourselves from collective sin?

@meganflchee.bsky.social’s The Museum of Cosmic Retribution in @nightmare-magazine.com, replies to Dickens and Lovecraft with a star-spangled hammer to the heart.

Thank you so much Steven! So glad you enjoyed it

My story in The Speculative Detective Agency is set in Singapore's central business district, about an unnaturally work-addicted team of financial analysts. Maybe they're just really passionate about spreadsheets... or maybe it has something to do with that cursed e-learning course...

Author Highlight #1: Megan Chee’s “Office Party”

The life of a speculative detective can be a bit lonely at times, moving from one city to the next, one strange case to the next...

Check this out! This is a super fun project where each contributing writer creates their own detective character within a shared world of supernatural entities. I'll have a story in this and there's an open submission call too!

Publishers are noting a shift in industry mindset around short stories as readers embrace shorter works, with a number feeling like “something is slowly shifting” and that “there’s a real excitement around stories again” 👇 #BookSky

Publishers say 'mindset around short stories shifting’ as readers embrace slim fiction

Continuing a theme of untangling identity, our story today is "The Dreamweaver's Name" by @meganflchee.bsky.social :

The Dreamweaver’s Name - Small Wonders

A name was a beautiful, enviable thing to the strange creature known only as the Dreamweaver.

I love a god gaining humility in "The God of Minor Troubles" by @meganflchee.bsky.social. Plus bonus badass old lady!
"The Hidden Heart of Brass Attending" by @cscott-author.bsky.social was so unexpectedly sweet. I loved the heartrending, soft underbelly under all of that cold, unyielding brass.
