It is about time I posted my lasted short story recommendations. Lately, I’ve been reading a lot of Clarkesworld, Podcastle, and Flash Fiction Online (FFO) (all three some of my favorite magazines), trying to catch up on what they have published during the summer. That really shows in what made it to the list of … Continue reading Short Story Recommendations – September 2025

Short Story Recommendations – July 2025
It's time for another (very late) round of short story recommendations. This one was meant to go out start of June, but life got busy as always, and I only just had time to clean up my notes. Anyway, I hope you find these stories as enjoyable as I did. Woodmask by Adrian Tchaikovsky (Uncanny): … Continue reading Short Story Recommendations – July 2025
Short Story Recommendations – March 2025
Well... It's been a while since I last did short story recommendations. I needed a break from short fiction, from reading it at least. And while it might not become a monthly segment on the blog again (at least, not yet), it's time I start diving back into the wonderful world of short fiction. So, … Continue reading Short Story Recommendations – March 2025
2024 – My Year in Writing and Reading
2025 is well under way already, and it's perhaps a bit late to start looking back at the previous year and how I fared. But, well... it's been a stressful January, and it's only really now that I've had both the time and energy to reflect on 2024. The obvious place to start is probably … Continue reading 2024 – My Year in Writing and Reading
Short Story Recommendations – December 2024
The short story recommendations are back. Well, maybe... sort of. Thing is, I've just come out of something of a writing slump that has lasted most of the fall. And it's been even longer than that since I've read short stories on a regular basis, focusing more on novels instead. But I do still love … Continue reading Short Story Recommendations – December 2024
Other People’s Writing
I guess it's about time for a brief update from my writing life. Mostly though, this will be a post about other people's writing. As I mentioned in my last post, I have two stories published so far in 2024 (both over at Stupefying Stories). There are still another six months left for that number … Continue reading Other People’s Writing
Writing and Non-Writing News – August 2023
July somehow slipped by without me noticing. I didn't even manage to post anything on the blog. Looking back, the last time that happened was July '22, so maybe I should just accept that summer is not a time where I have the mental energy or spare time to be all that active online. I … Continue reading Writing and Non-Writing News – August 2023
Writing and Non-Writing News – June 2023
So... this is where I was supposed to bring June's short story recommendations. For various reasons, though, there will be no story recommendations this months and probably not for the rest of the summer either. Instead, I bring this little news post about what's going in my life in general and with my writing. Maybe, … Continue reading Writing and Non-Writing News – June 2023
Story Recommendations – May 2023
Here are my short story recommendations for May. If you're a fan of Sarah Pinsker and haven't read her collection Sooner or Later Everything Falls Into The Sea, I think this month's lists will be of special interest to you. The Girl Who Never Was by Harold R. Thompson (Pod Castle, episode 782): In the … Continue reading Story Recommendations – May 2023
Story Recommendations – April 2023
April's list of recommendations is a meagre one. I simply didn't have as much time and energy for reading/listening to short stories as I usually do. Luckily, I did find two gems I want to share with you. The Hagfish Has Three Hearts by Monica Joyce Evans (Escapepod, episode 875 (originally published in Crossmass Infinities)): … Continue reading Story Recommendations – April 2023
