Darling, I'm telling you I belong by the sea
I am pleased beyond words to announce the forthcoming publication of my first collection of short fiction since 2005, Forget the Sleepless Shores from Lethe Press.
This book has been a long time coming. The title comes from the Greek Anthology; the cover art is the work of D.G. Smith; the stories come from the last fourteen years, from sea-coasts I grew up on and cities I no longer live in, from very different places and times in my life. There are ghosts and golems in these stories, dybbuks and demons and things with no such single names. A lot of music, a lot of water, a lot of memory, a lot of time. All are important to me; some are the best I've written to date. More details to come as we get closer, but in the meantime I am deeply happy to present a home for these mostly uncollected stories and their salt-touched inhabitants. Please signal-boost, preorder, throw offerings to the sea. I am promised there will be copies at Readercon.
We're excited to release a new short story collection by author Sonya Taaffe. In Forget the Sleepless Shores readers should expect to be captivated by many ghosts and spirits who inhabit brine, some from tears of heartache and loss, some from strange bodies of water, not necessarily found on the map but definitely discovered through charting a course though the perilous straits of author Taaffe's imagination, which is eerie and queer (by every definition of the word).
