My 9-yo and I wrote the cover story for Interzone #303, and we've created this handy synopsis using legos. Pictured: shark wearing a mech suit made of pirate shipwrecks, attacking a surfer on a chainsaw board. Oh, it gets weirder.

This is very long so you should probably call in sick to work
all this frankenstein chatter has activated my longstanding vague intention to reread the novel (high school is in another country, and besides, that wench is dead) and i had definitely forgotten how wildly thirsty the arctic explorer frame narrator guy was for victor

Gone Lawn was one of the first journals that made me want to be a part of this flash community. I remember reading every story in an issue a few years ago and thinking “This is what I want to do!” (And then quietly dreaming of someday being published there…) Let’s help them keep going!
Hate this sort of thing.
Dark times keep getting darker. If you like Gone Lawn and you have the means, consider a donation to keep us going, even something small. Thank you.

Apex's Kickstarter is looking a little dodgy right now and listen, I know times are weird, but there's no magazine doing more at the bleeding edge of spec fiction than Apex; there's no one more important in this space. If you back one thing this year, it should be Apex.
We have 10 days left in the @apexmag.bsky.social 2026 Kickstarter and we've crossed 60% funding! Help us get to 100%! www.kickstarter.com/projects/ape...

I regret to say that I did indeed used to think Theo was a nice boy
I realize this reflects poorly on me
in my defense it also reflects poorly on God’s Cruel Joke, which literally publishes stuff like this all the time
truly shameful

We're watching Frozen for the first time since the pandemic, when we watched it about a thousand times with our then-toddler, and wow does it make me feel weird. Pandemic vibes, this sort of wistful lonely deal.
