I wanted to share this thread which is happening o I wanted to share this thread which is happening on both Bluesky and the other site that shall not be named. Octavia is describing each story in her new collection YOU ARE MY SUNSHINE. Readers may especially be interested in this part of the thread where she writes about the title story, which is set in the world of her novella THE IMPOSSIBLE RESURRECTION OF GRIEF (which we published in 2021), and is an original novelette to the collection, the longest story in the book. When I was talking about bonkers climate fiction, this is the one that comes to mind immediately, though many stories in this collection cross that line or at least look at it askance. As Cade herself says, "I happen to think the story’s kind of hilarious. But then, my humour is VERY black." If this one makes you laugh it might be the kind of laughter that is indistinguishable from sobs. It's a weird one, and wonderful.

This collection is being marketed as horror, because marketing asks us to pick ONE genre. But it's not entirely accurate. This collection blends genres, and as horrific as the first stories in the book are, Cade brilliantly pulls those nightmarish themes into a flipped interpretation wherein those same ideas make a better world. It's an incredible feat and we are so proud to publish her work. The flip, I think, shows us how close we are to getting it, how close a better world is. It's so close.

If this sounds like a vision you want to support, please consider grabbing a copy and coming to the book launch next week.
