I am, as always, taking suggestions and heads ups and etc from publishers and authors and unassociated but interested parties.
An ongoing thread of short story collections coming in 2026, of work weird/surreal/dark/uncanny/unsettling/ghostly/ghastly, across genres, so that they're all in one place that I can refer back to when I inevitably forget what books I was meaning to request review copies of:

It's true. First visit to a hot spring in Iceland, and suddenly it was just @embley-hulk.bsky.social and me in a tub with Bjork. Emily recognized her tattoo (and had seen her change out of a cartoonishly large orange jumpsuit in the changing room).
also, say hi to Bjork if you see her (which is what someone once said to @jedediahberry.bsky.social jokingly, and then he and Emily did, indeed, run into her first thing at a hot springs)

See the thing is, to read a book, you have to hold the book open in front of you and turn the pages. That's how books work.

a cool part in poetry is that your title is included in the poem.
in rpg design, think about abilities, picklists, and roll tables like poems, and experiment with the title and subtitle. for example, look at this picklist from @jedediahberry.bsky.social and @andrewmcalpine.bsky.social.

Stainless by Todd Grimson is a 1996 vampire novel reprinted by McNally Editions, and more than worthy of rediscovery. A washed up rocker becomes a vampire's familiar in seedy 90s LA. Disturbing, sexy, funny, and sometimes even romantic, this is a great vampire story, but also a great LA story.
