He also knows four languages. Book Extract Psychosis turned him into an UFO; he has to live, he has to live, he has two hearts, he has to live. God has the eyes of Horus and is known as Michael Mathew, the two hearted one, with aura veins and primary dark space fire hair, and he is albino, a Chinalbino, and has golden eyes and rose window sclera. There he walks, on a moon, incarnated three-fold, three beauty queenly Kings, with breasts and naked, a rose petal penis under a pad called the Zavundular pad, with purple, gold and orange buttons to ejaculate coloured semen into beautiful woman.

Thank you for this beautiful experience. He is a schizophrenic. He sees Ti and Do, in a black hole meditating, or in a sun reading memory or energy vibrations, seeing its past history, and they appear in a Yin and Yang dress, the female, and in an aqua blue Astral suit. No, Do has to die. No, they have to die. And see his birth, in Nonia, where Ti and Do were cloning the race created by God in a far earlier universe; that sprung up again through twin binary pattern cellular evolution. They erected a black obelisk; turning the humans into supermen: The blood of roses is the birth and death of God, it is his life blood.

Thank you, for this beautiful experience. The first fold of immortality is golden eyes; the second fold is Roseum Thornycum, the red rose seen in the mind. The third fold is the all seeing eye, the eye of Horus, wide open eyes like the Pope who cuts his eyes open with a knife over three dead Popes under the Vatican. See into his eye, see the thunderbolts of ancient Mycenae coming out of his pupil across his Iris, blue for Pandora, red for Zeus, purple for Hera, white for Thunderboltie and Orange for Heraclitus, God of Eye Chasm Reading, the Art of double vision in the mirror where you can meditate seeing into your third eye when your eyes are centred.

Look into the eye of a human and see your mortality. Look into the eye of God and become an immortal in death.

A man named John discovers that he has a nearly infinite power to alter reality around him and makes himself the king of the city. At first he just wants to make his life better for him and his wife. But as they say, power corrupts: The subtle manipulation of the narrative as the story progresses is brilliant and I love how it ends, with the chaos never-ending.

Thompson has created an awesome near-future world and technology that seems all too real and possible, along with the implications of its use.

Creeping and unsettling, this story about a found-footage horror movie project that two unsuspecting filmmakers get drawn into is eerie as fuck. The arms of the heavy black lump reach closer to your windowsill. Found-footage as a genre is an uneven patchwork in the history of horror, but when done well, it can be brilliant. It is visual in just the right ways, and the format—a collection of emails—adds to the sense of reality and inevitability. This story which, disclaimer: Hoffmann weaves an ever-more-complex series of narratives: This is full of grief and loss and pain and rage and hope and triumph.

It is metafiction in the way it examines the opera, and changes the reality of the story through the agency of the women who take their destinies into their own hands; women who will not be forever silenced by the pen or words; women who find solace and who aid each other and build a better future, a truer ending for them all.

Rose Blood

Reading it makes me hungry! My search had finally turned up two promising results: Both still performed exorcisms for the princely sum of five thousand rupees and three boxes of chickpea-flour-and-sugar sweetmeats. Gorgeous, queer, and filled with longing and ghosts. Hauntings connect people and give them hope for closure and a future. The postcards were vintage, with terrible puns and bland innuendo: On the other side was a spidery scrawl of words in faded brown ink. This is a delightful, hilarious, charming story about bots!

The Ship had not actually told it what was in cargo bay four, but surely it must have something to do with the war effort and was then none of its own business, the bot decided.

Blood Destiny (Blood Curse, #1) by Tessa Dawn

It had never minded not knowing a thing before, but it felt a slight unease now that it could neither explain, nor explain away. Food horror is my jam, and this story is ripe with gorgeous descriptions and mouth-watering detail that will make you hungry…maybe not in the best way. He ate a heaping forkful of the pie. The beast pushed up, stretching open the base of his esophagus, unfurling its own eager tongue. Raw, sharp, and so often unbearably human, Szpara examines many axises of marginalization and the trials and joys inherent in living in an imperfect world. But vampires who break the law, who feed from un-certified donors, who steal blood bags, or drink without asking first, are put on the Blood Offenders Registry, which is basically a hit list for corrupt cops and stake-wielding bigots.

Brilliant and subversive, the story examines how colonialism destroys environments and people alike. I am going to meet Pebblesmooth. This story has haunted me since I first read it. The story shows a dystopia that is all too real, too believable, and will chill you.

It has no happy ending; this is a horror story and the tragedy comes from the wrenching understand that sometimes, we cannot endure everything. He checks his friends, makes sure no one is saying anything that could possibly be viewed as a violation. Just to be safe, he unfriends a few people who knew him back in college. He hovers, weighing his options, then swallows and closes the app. Colonialism being interrogated and resisted against. The voice is perfect, the structure and mix of narrative and journal entries firmly grounds this in time and setting, and it builds to a slow, excruciating and unsettling conclusion.

When Emily was summoned to the island, Loretta asked her to be discreet. Tell nobody that we are sisters. There has been so much excellent fiction published this year; the wonderful field of SFFH is growing and diversifying and shining with amazing gems. I had one more story in this list which I mistook as a publication, when it was Gorgeous, riveting space opera on an epic scale that still remains deeply personal.

Radiant with imagery and intense with emotion. Even barefoot in gauze, your Tamar looks dangerous. So, this year was pretty damn good in terms of stories published. For people reading and nominating for various SFF awards, such as the Nebulas, the Hugos, and World Fantasy, I would be honored if you considered any of my work! These are not available online yet, but I am happy to email a copy of individual stories in your preferred format.

Just ping me and let me know via the contact page. Vivian Caethe, August Butler and Joshua Palmatier, September With thanks to the Hamilton musical for being so quotable! Just for ease of this post. In fiction, the author is all-powerful. Each choice the author makes—in particular, conscious decisions—reflects on the author. It can be choosing not to include rape culture or scenes of sexual or domestic violence. It can be choosing not to have any swearing in the story. It can be choosing not to include potatoes. They are, like inclusionary choices [what you DO put in a story], simply a spectrum of authorial deliberation.

However, as an author, what you do not include is just as important as what you do include. Sometimes these choices can arise from unexamined or unknown bias. Sometimes they arise from ignorance—whether to include or exclude specific elements or people from a narrative—and sometimes not. If you have dragons but no People of Color, what does that say about your choices?

Does a spacefaring worldship harbor only cishet white people? Look at it this way. Those are deliberate decisions made in order to shape the story. You have the power to choose what you write about, who you write about, and for whom you write. The novel has very strong thematic questions about power, responsibility, and what we owe each other and ourselves with our actions.

The plot focuses on authoritative powers who want to destroy things, and the protagonists are caught in this fight and must decide how it ends. It would be so easy to make this book tragic. All I can say is: There will be no queer tragedy in this book. Damaveil and his husband live and are happy; Rajosja and her wife live and are happy; Bane lives and is… getting there; it just takes a little longer before he is happy again. The non-binary characters live and are happy. When I picked up this draft in order to revise, that jumped out at me like a neon sign.

When I realized this, it made me so happy. Not for any reason. I, as a reader and consumer of media, want to see more representation positive! I will not always succeed, and not every story will contain every multitude of people. A protagonist is one of the many lenses through which we experience story.

Who you give this time, energy, and presence to in your work says something. He has strong friendships without needing romance or sexual relationships. He can save the world when others would ask him only to destroy it. So, creators, keep in mind your power and your responsibility. When you mess up, you will be called on it, and how you respond is equally a choice. You can do better if you want. You can try harder. What do you choose to include or exclude? I love creating playlists for different projects. What goes into the process of selecting music?

The majority of secondary, minor, and referenced characters are women or non-binary, aside from some token characters whose only purpose is to die, in which case, all those are men. The principle antagonists are the human queen a woman and the fae Winter Lord coded male. Which is not to say only boys show up—like I noted above, the majority of secondary and minor characters are women. The most powerful mage in the country is a non-binary person. Most of people in power are women. So then I made a flowchart!

Actually it did calm me down as well as talking it out with friends. I started out building bookcases and organizing my books. I will read more. Support my friends and my communities.
