I’m so excited to finally see my translation of Hijab Imtiaz Ali’s story “Oh, Fangèd Night” (Shab-guzida) in Samovar Magazine, the translation arm of Strange Horizons 🌒. I just love Hijab’s playfully tongue in cheek horror, and I hope you do too 🧿.

Read my short story 'Until Forgiveness Comes,' picked by @StrangeHorizons (former) editor-in-chief Vanessa Rose Phin to highlight in the SH 20th anniversary issue!

It's also available in an anthology of 9/11 inspired fiction.
