My somewhat belated blog post about accessibility issues at the Los Angeles Worldcon is up: marikness.wordpress.com/2026/10/02/w...

Take the time to read this. It’s wonderfully imaginative, evocative, and moving.

SILO x CHILLING EFFECT Lost technology and forbidden knowledge. An isolated space station on the verge of catastrophe. Corporate espionage nobody signed up for. And a lone technician armed only with rabid curiosity, glitching fungal implants, and their not-so-helpful cat. #DVPit #A #SF #OWN #TV #ND

Technicians like Dera are shunned on Karsten Station for the fungal implants that let them do their jobs. But when an obsessed ship captain ropes them into unearthing a lost technology which could destroy the station, only Dera and their implants can prevent catastrophe. #DVPit #A #SF #OWN #TV #ND

Dera likes two things: solving technical problems and spending time with their cat. When their latest puzzle points to a station-wide catastrophe, they must take extreme measures to get anyone to listen—including teaming up with a toxic ship captain obsessed with her ex. #DVPit #A #SF #OWN #TV #ND

Grumpy technician Dera hates everyone—except their ever-optimistic work partner, Rhea. When a toxic ship captain separates the pair, dragging Dera on a galaxy-wide hunt for ancient tech, they must find their own way back to a home they’re surprised to miss. #DVPit #A #SF #OWN #TV #ND

A toxically obsessed spaceship captain lures technician Dera and their cat into a galaxy-spanning hunt for ancient technology. Now Dera must outwit both their captor and a corporate juggernaut bent on stealing the tech before their home is destroyed in the crossfire. #DVPit #A #SF #OWN #TV #ND

CHILLING EFFECT x SILO When technician Dera and their cat get lured into a scavenger hunt for forgotten tech orchestrated by an obsessed ship captain, the secrets they uncover threaten to destroy both their isolated home and the fungal FTL core of every ship in the galaxy. #DVPit #A #SF #OWN #TV #ND

hey all!!! got my contributor copy of "Your Body is a Fever Dream" from @tenebrouspress.bsky.social !!!! you can pre-order this amazing book of trans body horror too! click the link: bookshop.org/beta-search?...

Story day! A would-be serial killer manages his violent impulses by ‘capsizing’ himself—projecting his consciousness into a nearby object—whenever they arise. All goes well—until he encounters another man with the same ability… @nightmare-magazine.com www.nightmare-magazine.com/fiction/not-...

For those who have read Grief Eater and want a short story from Josh's pov!!

I’ve now lived so much longer than I would ever have expected to that I feel I’m living in the future. This is when I imagined Neuromancer happening. And now the creators of today’s AI warn us that it threatens humanity.

ICYMI, my online book launch for GRIEF EATER is now up on Youtube. Thanks again to @kyliu99.bsky.social and @hollylynwalrath.bsky.social for joining me! @interstellarflight.bsky.social www.youtube.com/watch?v=AYUw...

"Fans of Neuromancer will find many follow-up reads worth their time, but those that want to catch up on the cutting edge of cyberpunk should turn their eyes to Infomocracy by Malka Older." !!!!!
