"Madeleine" up at Lightspeed

Today my story “Madeleine” was released online from the Queers Destroy Science Fiction issue of Lightspeed magazine. It’s accompanied by a gorgeous illustration by Orion Zangara (whose work has also graced a past issue of Goblin Fruit!), and a wonderful reading by Paul Boehmer —

AND INTRODUCED BY CECIL BALDWIN OF WELCOME TO NIGHT VALE.

YOU GUYS.

AHHHHHHH

HE SAID CHICKEN SOUP BECAUSE OF ME

*cough*

Anyway. Yes. So. Right! I also talk about the story’s genesis in this Author Spotlight, in conversation with Wendy Wagner, where I for some reason talk about Tupperware. (There is no Tupperware in the story.)

(There is chicken soup.)

(And Proust.)

I hope you enjoy “Madeleine,” and if you like what Lightspeed‘s been doing with the Destroy series you can find them all collected here. You can also subscribe, or buy the ebook or trade paperback of Queers Destroy Science Fiction to get all the exclusive content and support their good work!
