“(re)Visions in the Jar” • by Sophie Sparrow

Continuing with this week’s theme, two weeks ago we published “Visions in the Jar,” a beautiful and heartbreaking little story by Sophie Sparrow. Unfortunately we did this during the period when we were temporarily unable to access our Facebook, X/Twitter, or Bluesky accounts, so we were unable to promote the story, and thus the readership numbers were not what we feel this story deserves.

» Read it now: “Visions in the Jar” • by Sophie Sparrow

Sophie is an author you probably should be following, as she writes fantasy fiction and humour. Her work has appeared in PseudoPod, Arsenika, Mad Scientist Journal, (Dis)Ability: An Anthology, and previously in Stupefying Stories, in “Angels,” “The Ghost of Moscow,” and “Dangerouser and Dangerouser.”

Sophie has worked as a content writer, transcriptionist, and software tester, speaks Russian and French, has previously been paid to wander around film sets, and is now quite tired of writing about herself in the third person. She likes cats and red wine, though not in the same glass. Keep up to date with what she's doing at www.writersophiesparrow.com

But if you’ve already read this story, why not take a look at this new book we just released, also during the period when we were unable to access our Facebook, X/Twitter, and Bluesky accounts?

Heart of Dorkness & Other Stories, a chapbook of short stories by best-selling author Henry Vogel, is a fun and lively little collection you should get just to read the cover story, “Heart of Dorkness”…

If this book does well, though, you should know that it’s just the first in a series of little book projects we have in the works for release in 2025.

Check it out! Convince us it’s a good idea to release more books like this and Privateers of Mars!

 


 

In the meantime, I’m back in the shop today, for more follow-up work made necessary by things discovered during my 1-year post-surgery eye exam. So as much as I’d like to be able to say, “See you later,” I probably won’t be able to. 

Maybe tomorrow.
