Dehiscent has a form of New Weird that combines eco-horror with what might be considered cozy horror, despite unsettling themes of the prison that can form from the recognition of privilege while feeling powerless to change it. With rich, quiet atmosphere and an exceptionally compelling and realistic, empathetic protagonist, Deng lifts a mirror to our current lives to reflect a fantastic image of how divisions of humanity would continue.
The Space Between Worlds brings an unexpected post-apocalyptic setting, and a very personally focused narrative story as developments and extensions on the old SF trope of multiverse travel.
From its opening pages, the surreal atmosphere of Morowa Yejidé’s exceptional, otherworldly novel Creatures of Passage envelops readers in a hazy pairing of familiarity and disorientation.
If you follow us on socials, you might have seen us mention that we dropped a brand new listener/reader survey on our handy little website. If on the odd chance this is the only way you hear about things we’re doing, then this is going to be a big surprise indeed because, hey, we dropped a brand new listener/reader survey! We’re looking for feedback from ALL listeners of the show and anyone who previously read the blog. Help us better understand how you listen to us AND how we can make a better show or keep doing the things we’re good at. You can take the survey on this magic page OR right here on this Google link. The survey should take you 5-10 minutes (more if you’re very detailed). Thanks in advance to everyone who takes this thing. We appreciate you!
2023 is now upon us, and we’re making big plans! That’s right, we’re finally doing another open call for guests and interviewees! It’s been a few years since we did our last one, but we think it’s a good time to get back on that horse and ride it to the finish line (or something like that). So, with that in mind, here’s our open call!:
It’s that time of year when everyone puts up their eligibility posts for stuff released in 2021. For our show, it’s pretty easy to identify where we’re eligible: Hugo Award for Best Fancast (finalists in 2014, 2019, 2020, and 2021) We may also be eligible in other award categories out there. If you think of any, put us up for it. Really, it comes down to this: if you liked what we did in 2021, nominate us for stuff in 2022! With that in mind, we’d also like to remind you that the people behind this show (and the friends we made along the way) are also eligible for things. Since podcasting isn’t just about “the show,” we’ve included as many of them as we could in the rest of this post. Go check out their things. There’s bound to be something interesting in there! Here goes!
