Coming summer 2026: it's Hamilton x The Boys from Brazil. Foundling Fathers, Tachyon Publications. Happy birthday, America. It's the satire you deserve.

Publisher's Marketplace announcement: Author of NUMBER ONE FAN and the Road to Nowhere series Meg Elison's FOUNDLING FATHERS, about young clones of Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, George Washington, and Benjamin Franklin, created by a right-wing cabal and raised in isolation, and what happens when they stumble upon technology they aren't supposed to see, to Jacob Weisman at Tachyon Publications, with Rick Klaw editing, in a nice deal, for publication in summer 2026, by Arley Sorg at kt literary (world English).

Whoever was the first person to do that dance move where it looks like you’re fucking the floor while pounding your fist in rhythmic anguish should have a statue and a medal and a federal holiday in every country.

That’s the trouble! I wish there were more like this, but it’s pretty unusual. I hope there is more in the future.

Meg Elison @megelison.bsky.social · 1d

I hope it’s reprinted. It deserves to be.

Couldn't get any Halloween-themed stamps this year, so I have to convince myself that these are thematic enough because they all have a dead guy on them.

I wrote the introduction to this collection, after I got up off my tear-stained floor. I highly recommend you preorder it, because like its titular story everyone is going to be talking about it.

A recommendation that stuck with me, and I could barely put it down (read as a hybrid of text and audio, so also “didn’t want to stop listening,” haha). The format is inventive and all of the threads weave together beautifully to tell the story. I don’t recommend much myself, but I loved this one.

Meg Elison @megelison.bsky.social · Aug 19

I found out about it AFTER it got nominated for the LeGuin, but this is a quietly incredible book. Non-linear narrative with bold formal choices. Alternate histories, fascinating futures including the relationships people form with AI. Gorgeous style and a really different approach to sci-fi.

(Also I couldn’t remember who I follow who recommended this, so I had to search until I found the post I hearted! I also recommend Meg Elison’s writing, I recently reread the PM Press collection of her short stories that includes The Pill (outstanding), but they are all SO GOOD)
