Or the ocean's brine will turn to wine

I am delighted to announce that my story "Twice Every Day Returning" has been accepted for reprint by Afterlives 2024: The Year's Best Death Fiction, edited by Sheree Renée Thomas and forthcoming from Psychopomp in October. It was published originally in Uncanny Magazine #61, in winter to match its ice-memories as opposed to the heat wave it was written in; it is queer, maritime, diasporic, the latest pendant of an unplanned sea-cycle, and it's lovely to see it described as "Lyrical Magical Realism." The table of contents is exactly the kinds of liminal fiction I would plunge myself into even if I did not have the honor of being included among them. We're still finishing out the ghost-month of summer, but I have further reason now to look forward to the ghost-month of fall.

Congratulations! This is wonderful.

Congratulations! I read this story sitting here at work, and loved it from the first description of the kinds of ice.

Hurray!!

Congrats!

Oh, wonderful! Congratulations!!

That is exciting!

(I did tell my students it was all right for us to talk about the underworld. It's become one of my favorite parts of the course.)

I love the care with which the collection has been assembled! What elegant editing. The collection itself sounds delicious.
