In March, I suggested eighteen (18) stories. I took the last week of March off from story suggestions due to various and sundry life stuff. Nothing major. Just enough to keep me from getting stories out via social media.
I also removed my personal Facebook page which also removed my ability to post to my author Facebook page. Right now, you can only get my suggested stories and announcement via my Newsletter, here at my blog, on Twitter (yes, still), Mastodon, and Tumblr.

In January, I suggested twenty-two (22) short stories by other authors for readers on my various social media. Every weekday at 8:00 am on Twitter, Facebook, Mastodon, and Tumblr I post these links (see connected social media on sidebar for links). I do this because if you like what I like to read, though I'm aware my tastes are pretty wide and eclectic, you might also enjoy my writing. I don't have a ton of it published yet. There's also so much incredible writing and many incredible stories out there, I want readers to get a sampling of stories and maybe find new writers to follow and new magazines to subscribe to.
With that said, I point out, as I have in the past, that I do not wish to promote problematic people or magazines. Please let me know if one of those exists in my suggestions. Feel free to comment on a blog post, on a social media post, send me an email, or a DM. 
This particular reminder comes up due to a discussion in a group of short fiction writers about such markets.

In November, between social media meltdowns and power outages and holidays, I was a bit chaotic in my suggested story posts. I have twelve (12) stories for today's blog post, in case you missed my various social media. Several, not all, were featured in Lauren Ring's Short Fiction Fridays, where I first heard of them. I recommend subscribing to her weekly newsletter for more great selections. 

Picture: Nightmare Magazines cover with a face wrapped in bandages and covered in blood holding a clamp.
We, the Girls Who Did Not Make It by E.A. Petricone was published in Nightmare in 2021. It is a spine-chilling tale and it's likely to make my next newsletter highlights. Hat tip to Lauren Ring's Short Fiction Fridays where I learned of this story.

The Sprawl Magazine published What Not to Do When You're Polymorphed and Stuck in a Time Warp by Stewart C. Baker in October. Just a fun little romp! 

Sounds Like Forever by Josh Roundtree was published by The Bourbon Penn in September. This story overcame several of my DNF checkboxes to become a suggested story. It's just really well done.
Picture: cover of Bourbon Penn with a girl with dark hair and blue eyes, lip, chin, and neck paint, and a mask pulled up that shows her face written all over.

The Arcanist published Head in the Grave, Listening by Elizabeth Guilt in October. I like the slight open-endedness of it.

If You Were a Dinosaur, My Love by Rachel Swirsky was published by Apex Magazine in 2013. This is another that I learned of from Lauren Ring's Short Fiction Fridays. This story is about expressing your love in the face of grief.

Picture: Fantasy Magazine October 2022 cover. A cat sits on a gravestone. The names of contributors and editors are listed.
Picture: November 2022 Fantasy Magazine cover. Whales swim through yellow-orange cloulds. Names of contributors and editors are listed.
Fantasy Magazine published

Quantum Eurydice by Avi Burton in October, a story about Eurydice in time.

The Werewolf and the Fox Spirit Are Neighbors by Amy Johnson in November, a poem about becoming friends.

You Are Cordially Invited to an Evening of Horror at the Secret Hills Golf and Country Club by Madeline Ashby was published by The Sunday Morning Transport in October. The growing sense of dread in this story was perfect, especially right at Halloween.
Picture: The Sunday Morning Transport logo with the words written in white on a black background.

Picture: Lightspeed cover for April 2021 with a large person in a lake catching a smaller person parachuting in against a ringlight.
Lightspeed published The Equations of the Dead by An Owomoyela in 2021, a story about love and death. I learned about this story from Lauren Ring's Short Fiction Fridays.

Travel Guide to Spaceport Rest Stops by Seoung Kim was published by If There's Anyone Left in January. This story is a story by reviews. I really love stories in this format. 

Flash Fiction Online published A Menagerie of Grief by Kelly Sandoval in 2016. The analogy of how people hand their grief and how it can hurt those you love, the ones also grieving, is amazing. 
Picture: a black and white sketch of a dragon and a dog curled around a grave.

Picture: Mermaids Monthly December 2021 cover with a woman with dark hair in a blue dress and a mermaid diving through her.
Merbraids by Amal El-Mohtar, Caitlyn Paxson, and Jessica P. Wick was published in 2021 by Mermaids Monthly. Having recently finished Under the Drowning Sea by Mira Grant, this poem about Sirens was a perfect follow-up.

Bonus: I wrote today's blogpost like this:
Picture of a white and red Boston Terrier laying on a thigh covered in blue leggings and the corner of a laptop.
Peaches lays on my knee while I balance my laptop to write this blog post.

I apologize for the delay in this post. Normally it goes up the first Monday of the month, rounding up all the previous month's short fiction I suggested. I normally write the post the weekend before that first Monday. Unfortunately, I had a major power outage at my home, limiting my ability to do things like blog posts. 

Hopefully this November you're still in the mood for creepy because October is the spooky month and I focused on that, for the most part. Not all of these stories are horror or dreadful, but they are all speculative under my SFF/H umbrella that I enjoy. I've sorted them by magazine. Enjoy!

Recipe by Tina S. Zhu was published by Fireside Fiction in September. It's a 500-word piece and I love the format!

Strange Horizons published

Survivors by Elizabeth H. Hopkinson
in 2005. I enjoyed this 1400-word reflection upon mental illness and Alzheimers/senility.

​12 Things a Trini Should Know Before Travelling to a Back in Times Fete
™ by R.S.A. Garcia in October.  Fantastic time travel 1800-word story. This one is going to show up in my Newsletter. 
Strange Horizons logo of the words Strange Horizons stacked with a gradient of black to purple.

Lightspeed Issue 6 cover, with an image of a mech suit in a sandy desert. Words on the left highlight stories and say November 2010.
Ej-Es by Nancy Kress was published by Lightspeed Magazine in 2010. This 7200-word story reflects on how we see and treat disease.

In October, the Future Fire published

AITA for throwing away my wife’s haunted dolls? by Annika Barranti Klein
, a truly creepy AITA the length of a reedit post.

​Spindle House by Jennifer Hudak
, short story about a coven of witches and an elderly woman and her son-in-law.
The Future Fire cover of a girl in jeans and t-shirt with dark hair with coils around her arms and purple, skeletal figures attacking her.

Picture: Reckoning 6 cover in tones of orange and pink with a blond child riding a tiger in a field.
Footnotes from “Phosphates, Nitrates and the Lake A Incident: A Review.” by Mari Ness was published by Reckoning in August. A story told as a numbered list, I love well-done non-traditional story formats!

The Arcanist published

Door to Door Detaial by Michael James in September. This short had good creeping dread factor.

Treat Me Like the Sea by Taylor Rae in September. Another creeping dread one about what we give of ourselves.

We Watch the Nimble Dancers by Megan W. Shaw in October. This one was so bittersweet!

Hunger by Ai Jiang was published in The Martian Magazine in October. This is a flash piece about making monsters.
Picture: Martian Magazine header with the words Martian The Magazine of Science Fiction Drabbles on a background of an orange sheet on a white background.

kaleidotrope published

The History Eaters by Marissa James is a surreal short story.

Lisa's Garden by Jennifer Hudak is a short story about emotion and expression.

Picture of a tumbler with a few fingers of liquid, a city sitting atop the liquid with the neon colors of future punk.
Some Drink to Remember by Julie Reeser was published by The Dread Machine in July. Beautifully written with the dread of why these patrons were drinking.

Diabolical Plots published 

​October's Wedding of the Month by Emma McDonald in 2016. This story bothered me and it's part of the appeal.

Estelle and the Cabbage's First Night Together by Amy Johnson is a story that invites reflection that we may not want to do.
Picture: Diabolical Plots logo, shades of teal and blue of a steampunk face made of googles and a toothy smile over a geometric background

Fireside Fiction is coming to a close soon and Daily Science Fiction is going on an extended or permanent break. Both used to send my stories into my inbox. I visit many speculative fiction magazines, but few send stories in their newsletters regularly. They tend to pick favorites (much like I do in my newsletter). Send me your favorite magazines, especially if they have email newsletters with their stories.
