My new poem, “there are no taxis for the dead” is out today in Uncanny Magazine! It’s inspired by shouryouma, the spirit animals made from eggplants/cucumbers that carry the dead to and from home during Obon in Japan. uncannymagazine.com/article/there-…

Been thinking a lot about the importance of words, especially for kids. How my parents, despite wanting me to become a doctor/lawyer/banker, would tell all their friends (much to my embarrassment as a child) I was a good writer.

It meant a lot. It still means a lot.

I will just say something here very gently. I know I am not posting a lot about my writing process and my fears/insecurities about writing but here is a big one, if not the biggest one: making typos. Having my English scrutinized and found lacking. People thinking I am not smart-

'You are special. You are loved. You will be you again.'

'You Will Be You Again' by Angela Liu is such a raw, powerful piece about slow death and the painful and ragged love between an immigrant father and his daughter

Wow, this one hit hard 💔 The love, the helplessness, and the slow march towards the inevitable while trying to save the fragments of yourself that tell a story about who you are, made this especially heartbreaking.

It is with great sadness that we hear about the passing of Ray Daley, who many of you may know from the horror writing community.

He had a great piece published with us in 206 Word Stories, and we thought we'd share it with you all here, in his honour and memory.
RIP Ray.
