Benjamin Kurt Unsworth

Benjamin Kurt Unsworth is a British Fantasy Award finalist with a degree in Classics and an unhealthy obsession with Doctor Who under belt. He enjoys confusing all and sundry, writing short stories and reviews for various outlets, drinking copious cups of tea, knitting, and buying far too many waistcoats, bow ties, and velvet jackets. His TBR pile threatens to topple over and crush him any day now. His solo collection, Into Wrack and Ruin, is available from Phantasmagoria Magazine, and the collection he co-authored with his father, Uneasy Beginnings, from Black Shuck Books.

Its seven long stories trade tentacles for mood, with Arthur Machen’s land as the backdrop for some fine Lovecraftian fiction. John Llewellyn Probert and George supply the two tales he expects to see in his year’s best.

Laura Mauro Returns: Biographies of Valiant Drunken Tigers

Laura Mauro Returns: Biographies of Valiant Drunken Tigers

After years away, Laura Mauro returns with Biographies of Valiant Drunken Tigers, a short story and a novella steeped in Japanese folklore. Shadowsick sends a decapitated head into spectral flight, while Lovesongs of the Nonmigratory Birds pulls the Yuki-Onna into a bleak, heartfelt tale of two people coming apart. A comeback well worth the wait.
