News & Events
For recent news, see the widget at the top of the site. Also, see my list of upcoming novels in 2021.
Older news: On August 9th the site celebrated its 8th anniversary. I posted the Impacts of Environmental Survey results. I also have a second part to the large and ongoing look at ecological and climate ruin in fiction. See Medium.com.

Anyone else now in the mood for fall eco-horror and weird stories? I know I am! Check out a couple new films to get you in the mood. THE DEAD DON'T DIE (with an ensemble cast) is now on Netflix. Its deadpan comedy style also comments on polar fracking, climate change, consumerism, and racism. A different kind of zombie movie. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt8695030/
And then there's WOODLANDS DARK AND DAYS BEWITCHED: A HISTORY OF FOLK HORROR. This long (3 hour 14 min doc) is worth every second, and I believe is the only exploration into folk horror. Folk horror tropes are many, but one of the characteristics is departure from natural landscapes. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt13938338/

We've made quite a few changes since the early days and now have almost 130 people onboard, including two new mods to help us keep things alive and fresh. We've added a book club, are talking about a writers critique circle, and have the usual original channels, including ones that cover writer and reader resources, novels, YA/children's lit, creative nonfiction, chatty channels, video games, genres, films, and other arts covering how we tell stories in the Anthropocene. We talk about climate change and ecofiction overall.

August's world #ecofiction spotlight series goes to Japan with Venetia Welby and her crucial novel DREAMTIME. I loved this novel, pure and simple. The characters are realistic. The novel is brilliant. https://dragonfly.eco/spotlight-venetia-welby-dreamtime/ #climatechange
