i loooove unhinged sapphic fiction. in jaymee goh’s short story “the freedom of the shifting sea” a mermaid-siren-centipede creature fucks one woman, later kills that woman’s husband, and years down the line fucks the first woman’s daughter and that daughter has this line:

When they made love, Eunice was torn between jealousy and satisfaction, that her mother had this before she did, and would never have it again.

like okay pseudo-incest!! and then at eunice’s request, the mermaid-siren-centipede transforms eunice into another creature like her in an agonizing process that involves the mermaid clamping all her fangs down around eunice’s clit :) we’re so normal :)

Tachyon tidbits featuring Michael Moorcock, Jaymee Goh, and Kameron Hurley

The latest reviews and mentions of Tachyon titles and authors from around the web.

Michael Moorcock (Source: A.V. CLUB), Jaymee Goh (Francesca Myman), and Kameron Hurley

DEADLINE reports on the option of Michael Moorcock’s seminal The Elric Saga.

New Republic Pictures’ Brian Oliver and producer Bradley J. Fischer acquired the exclusive rights to all works in Michael Moorcock’s seminal fantasy-horror series The Elric Saga. They are beginning to shop the property for series, with Glen Mazzara (The Walking Dead and The Shield) and Prison Break and Star Trek: Discovery‘s Vaun Wilmott attached to adapt the sci-fi fantasy tale.

CURIOUS FICTIONS publishes Jaymee Goh’s “A Name to Ashes.”

My father died when I was very small, and my mother could not afford to take care of us all, so she gave me to the local temple to raise. The priests were very gracious about it, and appreciated one more pair of hands to help keep everything tidy. They taught me to read that I may answer the petitions of the people who came to our temple, taught me to cook for the beggars that sought succor, taught me to chant the sutras that would calm souls both dead and living. To read and write was more than what my brothers could do. Only our eldest brother, Kheng, had had such an education.

Still, I was very close to my brothers, and my mother also, and they visited me at the temple often. It was very inappropriate, according to the neighbours, but the priests didn't seem to mind. We were a happy family, except for one sadness: the unknown fate of Kheng. He disappeared a little after I was born, so I have no memories of him. The last letter he sent said he was boarding a ship to a place called Cuba, to work there as a clerk. My mother refused to believe he was dead, so he did not have a tablet on our small family shrine.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY names Kameron Hurley’s The Light Brigade as one of the best books of the year.

Hurley's tale of endless war on Mars is as insightful as it is brutal. Employing a structurally sophisticated time loop, Hurley captures her heroine's growing disillusionment and drives home the horrors of war. This ambitious work of military science fiction is smart, grisly, and gripping.

Meet Jaymee Goh at The Octopus Literary Salon

Photo: Francesca Myman

Acclaimed writer, reviewer, editor, and essayist Jaymee Goh, alongside Mackenzie Smith, appears as part of the Partnered Literary Readings at The Octopus Literary Salon in Oakland, CA on Thursday, June 20, 6:30pm.

This is a paired reading where emerging writers partner with published authors to produce and perform written work onstage. Was a huge hit at the AWP conference this spring so we're bringing it to the Bay Area!

How this works is that anyone who's somewhat at the beginning of their writing career takes something they've written that's about 5-10 minutes long when read aloud and sends it to a partner who's gotten something published, ideally by the end of May. Then, the published author has until the evening of June 20 to write something of their own, another creative piece inspired by the emerging author's piece. Both pieces should be around the same length, any topic or genre, and both partners read on stage at the Octopus Literary Salon.

The Octopus Literary Salon Partnered Literary Readings Thursday, June 20 6:30pm 2101 Webster Street Oakland CA
