✣ Blake Wrapped: Short Stories 📒
I've been reading a bunch of short fiction lately, most of it SFF to figure out how the whole shebang works, and I've come across a lot of delicious stuff by writers who need the kind of big time attention that mediocre novelists do! Some of my recommendations follow (and the speculative element is pretty atmospheric/suggestive rather than overt in them all, if you're not really into hard sci-fi or over-the-top secondary world fantasies :) )
"How the Trick is Done" by A. C. Wise (about loving the wrong person and avenging yourself, done with heartrending prose--this was a top piece of fiction of the year for me)
"Homecoming is Just Another Word for the Sublimation of the Self" by Isabel J. Kim (fascinatingly woven story about immigration, sense of identity, and the idea of home)
”Welcome to Your Authentic Indian Experience™️” by Rebecca Roanhorse (colonial myth becomes realer than the truth if you believe in it enough)
"Clearly Lettered, in a Mostly Steady Hand" by Fran Wilde (museums as houses of voyeuristic horror, told in a sweetly Victorian style)
"Termination Stories for the Cyberpunk Dystopia Protagonist" by Isabel J. Kim (meta-narrative commentary on cyberpunk aesthetics, Asian objectification, and being doomed by the storytelling gaze)
"Rabbit Test" by Samantha Mills (VERY timely exploration of bodily rights, intergenerational miscommunication/support, and how sometimes it's just hard to be a woman)

The Kissing Booth Girl and other stories by A.C. Wise
One day, they may die in each other’s arms, perhaps in sleep, perhaps before bed as they each slip soft nightgowns over the other’s familiar body, but it won’t be tragic this time. As Juliet once said to Juliet(te) -- fuck that noise. There are better stories to tell, and the only moment they care about is this one, right here, right now.
Read "Excerpts from a Film (1942-1987)", a new horror short story about Hollywood murders by A.C. Wise.
“Excerpts from a Film (1942-1987)” by A.C. Wise is a disturbing horror novelette about a young woman, who like many others, goes to Hollywood to become a star and is haunted by the murders of several other aspiring actresses. And of her influence, rippling up through the years, on the man who “discovered” her and on film itself.
Doomed love doesn’t have to die young. They can live on the edge of annihilation, refusing destiny in the name of their own narratives. They will burn twice as bright, and fly twice as far, setting the night on fire in the brilliance of their wake.
