Can’t Miss Indie Press Speculative Fiction for November and December 2024

Books Can’t Miss Indie Press Speculative Fiction for November and December 2024 The end of the year can be a quiet time for publishing, but there’s still plenty happening if you look in the right places. By Tobias Carroll | Published on November 14, 2024 Comment 0 Share New Share The end of the year can be a quiet time for publishing, but there’s still plenty happening if you look in the right places. The SFF due out from indie presses at the end of this year abound with fiction that eludes easy classification and touches on different genres on its way. What follows is a look at some notable books due out on small presses for November and December, from Jersey Devil poetry to an anthology exploring the roots of D&D.  File Under: Bodies and Technology There’s a long history in SFF of works dealing with artificially-created beings, and it’s into that lineage that Sarah Colombo’s new novel Why Is Marigold? steps. The title character of this book is an android whose early education led to her working in a desalination facility. An encounter with a man reveals the existence of what may be gaps in her memory, setting up a wider mystery with existential dimensions. (Spaceboy Press; Nov. 8, 2024) Anita Felicelli’s 2019 novel Chimerica drew praise from a number of acclaimed writers, with Jonathan Lethem calling it “a coolly surrealist legal thriller.” Felicelli has returned with a new collection—her second—with the evocative title How We Know Our Time Travelers. In these stories, Felicelli reckons with some of the biggest issues facing the world today, including the evolution of technology and living in an era of environmental upheaval. (WTAW Press; Dec. 3, 2024) Bodies can be strange, even under the most quotidian circumstances. It’s not surprise, then, to see Megan Howell explore the boundaries of where bodies can go in her new collection Softie. Howell takes her characters through surreal transformations in these stories, a work that Publishers Weekly called “a beautiful and striking collection.” (West Virginia University Press; December 2024) For his second novel published in 2024, Nicholas Rombes takes readers to a very different place than the alternate timeline of The Rachel Papers. Rombes’s  Lisa 2, v1.0 is about a vintage Apple computer that a frustrated writer begins using in the present day, only to find that it has a strange effect on her work. It’s a heady combination, with one review citing “[r]emixed hints of Bradbury, Black Mirror and Kafka” lurking within. (Calamari Archive; Dec. 1, 2024) M. Shaw’s weird fiction has gotten attention from the likes of the Bram Stoker Awards. Shaw’s new collection All Your Friends Are Here. In a 2022 interview, Shaw said, “I will never, ever get tired of fucked up deer.” Based on the description for this collection, it sounds like fellow aficionados of unsettling deer will have plenty to observe here. (Tenebrous Press; Dec. 5, 2024) I’ve been an admirer of Marian Womack’s work for a while now, and reviewed her novel The Golden Key in this space in 2020. That review also references a collection of hers, Lost Objects, which is now returning to print in a new and expanded edition, complete with an introduction by Priya Sharma. Think surreal environments, bodily transformations, and climate change turned bizarre and you’ll have an idea of what to expect here. (Calque Press; Nov. 16, 2024) File Under: The Terror of Isolation Do you enjoy your fiction abounding with mysterious societies and ominous premonitions? If so, you’re likely to savor plenty about Pilar Adón’s novel Of Beasts and Fowls, translated by Katie Wittemore. This novel abounds with Gothic imagery and uncanny connections between characters, and follows a woman mourning her lost sister whose path crosses with a group of women living in a remote home. (Open Letter; Nov. 5, 2024) In a recent interview, Solvej Balle revealed that the concept behind her novel On the Calculation of Volume (Book I) dates back decades. Balle referred to “the idea of a woman stuck in time repeating one day again and again,” a concept that first came to her in 1987. This is also the first part of a septology, translated by Barbara J. Haveland; New Directions is also publishing the second volume this November.  (New Directions; Nov. 18, 2024) Upon gazing at the cover art for Valkyrie Loughcrewe’s Decrepit Ritual, you might think to yourself, “This could easily be a metal band’s cover artwork.” That’s no coincidence. This novel follows a depressed protagonist as they travel far from home in Norway and encounter a film that appears to defy multiple laws of reality. Do you like your fiction abounding with visceral imagery and analog media? Tune in here.   (Ghoulish Books; Nov. 26, 2024) As fans of the film The Lighthouse (or this SNL sketch) can tell you, the combination of isolation and elemental forces can make a lighthouse keeper’s life uncanny under most circumstances. In Rachilde’s novel The Tower of, translated by Jennifer Higgins, a man takes a job working at a lighthouse on the French coastline that quickly takes a turn for the phantasmagorical. (Wakefield Press; November 2024) James Reich’s bibliography rarely stops at the same place twice. It’s large enough to encompass explorations of colonialism along with mystical conspiracies; it’s hardly shocking, then, that his next novel is going full-on science fictional. That would be Skinship, a story of a spacecraft carrying the last of humanity and the sole survivor left behind on Earth. It might not be the last time he returns to this setting, if this interview is any indication. (Anti-Oedipus Press; December 2024) File Under: History and Mythology In 1979, TSR published Gary Gygax’s first Dungeon Master’s Guide, which included a list of stories that Gygax cited as an inspiration for Dungeons & Dragons. It’s with that in mind that editor Peter Berbergal assembled Appendix N, revised and expanded edition: Weird Tales From the Roots of Dungeons & Dragons, which features work by the likes of Jack Vance, Andre Norton, Clark Ashton Smith, and Ramsey Campbell. Throw in an introduction by Adrian Tchaikovsky and an afterword by Ann VanderMeer and you have the makings of an appealing read. (Strange Attractor Press; Nov. 26, 2024) In this 1676 novel, a European traveler arrives on a continent called Australia—but it’s not the one that we’re all familiar with. Instead, Gabriel de Foigny’s The Known Southern Land—here translated by Dana J. Lupo—is a collectivist utopian society at odds with both colonial expeditions and massive predatory birds. It’s a singular utopia that revisits the past in multiple ways. (Spurl Editions; Nov. 21, 2024) Some collections zero in on one aspect of their author’s bibliography. In the case of LH Moore’s Breath of Life, the opposite is true: this collection spans fiction, essays, and poetry, with stylistic trips into both horror and Afrofuturism. It’s a wide-ranging work; in their review, Publishers Weekly noted that it “[felt] like a career retrospective.” (Apex Book Company; Dec. 17, 2024) You probably haven’t read a creation story like the one found in Yarrow Paisley’s Divine in Essence before. Ghosts, Furies, and residents of the other side of the mirror all make appearances in this surreal spin on the world around us, Paisley’s follow-up to his acclaimed 2017 collection I, No Other. (Whisk(e)y Tit; Nov. 1, 2024) Cards on the table here: I grew up in New Jersey and I like cryptids. So when I heard that Kailey Tedesco had written a book of poetry inspired by the origins of the Jersey Devil, I did not need much convincing to have my interest piqued. The book in question is Motherdevil, which is in part about Mother Leeds — perhaps better known as “the Jersey Devil’s mom.” I’m so here for this. (White Stag Publishing; Nov. 1, 2024) File Under: Strange Cities and Uncanny Families The combination of writer Georges-Olivier Châteaureynaud and translator Edward Gauvin won an SFF Translation Award in 2011 for the book A Life on Paper. That same writer-translator tandem returns to Anglophone letters with The Messengers, a surreal tale of a young man making his way across a bizarre landscape interspersed with scenes of horror and mystery. (Wakefield Press; November 2024) World Fantasy Award-nominated writer Seb Doubinsky returns this fall with his novel The Sum of All Things. It’s the latest installment in his long-running City-States Cycle, a project Doubinsky has compared to Michael Moorcock’s Jerry Cornelius books. This novel blends political intrigue, royal succession, and radical violence in a milieu that’s at once familiar and unexpected. (Meerkat Press; Nov. 5, 2024) There’s something eminently rewarding about a volume collecting two works of fiction by disparate writers. (Yes, I read a lot of Tor Doubles growing up, why do you ask?) The latest installment of the Split Scream series features work by Ryan T. Jenkins and David Corse, novelettes that reckon with strange portals and haunted houses. (Tenebrous Press, Nov. 12, 2024) You might never look at seagulls the same way again after reading Vanessa Saunders’s novel The Flat Woman. It’s set in a world where environmental distress has caused the seabirds in question to die en masse, and to which the misogynist response has been to pin the blame on a nonexistent group of female terrorists. Of the book’s style, Saunders said that she sought one “that expresses our absurd, fast, and unpredictable modern world filled with screens, disasters, and polarization.” (University of Alabama Press; November 2024) Jeremy C. Shipp’s previous novel The Merry Dredgers followed its characters on a surreal trip through cults and abandoned carnivals. At the heart of that novel was the bond between two siblings; a very different connection between two sisters can be found in Shipp’s new book Familiar. This one’s about sisters engaged in magical activities with a penchant for tracking down killers; it’s another entry in Shipp’s compelling bibliography.

A Perfect Storm Of Madness And Power: The Reign Of Emperor Caligula

Reigning from 37 to 41 AD, Caligula was the third emperor of Rome. He was born to general Germanicus and Agrippina the Elder, making him a member of the Julio-Claudian dynasty. While he appeared to be a promising leader at first, the remaining period of his reign was marked by episodes of madness, depravity, and extravagance. Eventually, in 41 AD, he was assassinated by conspirators... Source

The Trump Foreign Policy Doctrine Doesn’t Get Credit It’s Due

Donald Trump’s foreign policy was, during his first term, not only successful; it was the most successful foreign policy of any president since Ronald Reagan. Yet thanks to their animus for Trump personally, pseudo-experts on foreign policy have refused to give Trump credit for his obvious wins: a quiescent Russia, a contained Iran, Middle Eastern peace accords between Israel and several of its Arab neighbors, an increasingly isolated China, and burgeoning liberty movements in South America. Instead, these supposed geniuses suggest that Trump’s foreign policy is haphazard, dangerous, unhinged. They long for the purported calm of Democratic foreign policy, based on specious nostrums about democracy, lack of enforcement mechanisms, and endless negotiations that result in more conflict. In reality, Trump’s foreign policy has always been straightforward and effective. That’s become utterly clear, thanks to his foreign policy picks for his second term: Pete Hegseth for defense secretary, Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., for secretary of state; Rep. Mike Waltz, R-Fla., for national security adviser; John Ratcliffe for CIA director; and former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee for ambassador to Israel, among others. Each of these foreign policy picks shares a particular vision of America in the world: They reflect a Trump Doctrine. That doctrine is simple. As Trump himself expressed it to me on my show some two weeks before the election, “Our policy is very simple: peace through strength. We had no wars—and I’m not an isolationist—I helped a lot of countries. I kept countries out of war.” This policy can be expressed in a few key propositions. First, America’s interests are paramount. America first does not mean that America ignores the rest of the world. It means that the interests of American citizens ought to be the chief concern of the American government. That ought to be a truism. Those interests include everything from the freedom of the seas, which guarantees America’s economic supremacy, to the strength of American allies in contentious regions, sufficient to counter external threat without direct American intervention. Second, America’s interests must be carefully calibrated to our investment in them. If we have only a weak interest in democracy in a far-flung land, we ought not pretend that Wilsonian bromides suffice as a rationale for heavy investment. All resources are scarce resources—none scarcer or more precious than the blood and treasure of the American military. Self-deception about the ease of war is dangerous. If we’re going to draw a red line, it ought to be a red line. As President Joe Biden learned, saying “no” is no substitute for actual foreign policy. Third, all measures and means necessary to achieve America’s interests are on the table. Such measures and means range from crushing the economic wherewithal of America’s enemies to credibly threatening military force when necessary. The ancient Latin adage “Si vis pacem, para bellum”—that is, “If you want peace, prepare for war”—is a key principle for the Trump Doctrine. What’s more, war is ugly and cannot be made antiseptic. That means that America’s might, when unleashed, must be calibrated toward victory, rather than hamstrung by niceties and pieties. The most humane war—if any war is to be fought—is the shortest and most victorious. In short, the Trump Doctrine says: F— around, find out. Fourth, all of this ought to be publicly proclaimed. If our enemies know our principles, they will avoid the fight. War occurs when one side retains the hope of victory—either through sheer capacity or through the increasing weakness of will of the other side. America must broadcast both our capacity and our will. Doing so leaves no room for the errors that end in war. Trump has followed these principles to the letter across both of his administrations. And what has followed has been the most peaceful administration in modern American history. The Trump Doctrine will continue to bring increasing peace so long as it is implemented. And by all indicators, President Trump is determined to do so over the next four years. COPYRIGHT 2024 CREATORS.COM We publish a variety of perspectives.

What Happened? What’s Next?

Two weeks ago, I wrote: “There seems to be only one thing about which all Americans agree … that something is very wrong in our nation.” My point then was that all the polling data has been pointing in one direction—Americans of all persuasions are not happy with what’s happening in, and the direction of, our country. Now we see, despite all the pessimism about the state of American democracy, that it works. Why be surprised about the blowout of the incumbent party when, for most of Joe Biden‘s presidency, the percentage of Americans saying they are satisfied with the direction of the country hovered around 20%. And when, after the early months of his presidency, Biden’s approval ratings tanked and for the remaining time, the gap between his disapproval and approval hovered between 10 to 15 percentage points. As former Reagan speechwriter Ken Khachigian noted in The Wall Street Journal, Vice President Kamala Harris drove a stake into her candidacy when in an appearance on ABC’s “The View” she said nothing came to mind that she would have “done differently than President Biden.” Gallup started asking about satisfaction with the direction of the country in 1979. The highest it’s ever been was 71% in February 1999. In Trump’s first term, satisfaction reached 41%, the highest it had been in 15 years. Then, to the misfortune of the then and future President Donald Trump, COVID-19 hit.  So, my answer to the tsunami of commentary about what happened in this election is that Americans are not happy and are sufficiently vibrant and healthy to step up and say “enough.” As I said in my column two weeks ago, the only thing most Americans seem to agree about is that things are not good. Now that the status quo has been rejected, where do we go? I will repeat what I have been saying for a long time. A country that is fiscally bankrupt, culturally bankrupt, and morally bankrupt is not a country with a future. The great news that I see is that those with a great stake in the country’s future—our youth, our working class, and lower- and middle-income Americans, and our non-white Americans whose votes have always been disproportionately on the left, for Democrats—shifted in a meaningful way to Trump and Republicans. Regarding the surge to the right by young men of all colors, my take is they are unhappy with a feminized culture of victimhood, wokeness, and moral relativism. I am not talking about manhood in a macho sense, but in the true sense of masculinity—to step up and take responsibility, to work, to build, and to create. They are getting that the critical element of manliness is not taking control of others but of taking control of oneself. The headline from the exit polls is decisive dissatisfaction with the economy, and all these votes went to Trump. They will all agree with the tax cuts. But how about spending cuts? We must shrink the long and heavy hand of government to recapture the economic growth of years gone by. The voting shift among Americans of color is of crucial importance. The country is becoming less and less white. Seventy-one percent of the 2024 vote was white voters. When Ronald Reagan was elected president in 1980, 88% of voters were white. Less than half the children in K-12 in America’s public schools are white. We need Americans of color to walk away from the culture of victimhood and embrace the culture of freedom and personal responsibility. America needs these Americans of color, and these Americans of color need the values that built the country. Regarding the Democratic Party, I would not liken it to a bankrupt company. A company in bankruptcy needs to reorganize and do its business more efficiently. The Democratic Party is very efficient. Its problem is it’s selling the wrong product.

Work Dog On The Homestead

Do you want a livestock guardian dog or a herd dog as a work dog for your homestead? Didn't know there was a difference? There is, a huge on actually. In fact, in all likelihood, you need both types of traditional farm working dogs on your homestead or survival retreat. Work Dog On The Homestead: The Best In What They Do Livestock guard dogs (LGDs) protect your livestock and by extension, your homestead, from predators. These dogs are typically very large and very protective of just not the livestock, but the entire family – but do NOT live with the humans inside the home. Herd dogs work the land and animals by day but tend to live with the family at night. These breeds are high energy and commonly have only two speeds – 100 MPH or zero – and snoozing, after putting in many hours doing necessary work around the homestead. Best Herding Dog Breed   Blue and red heelers, or a blue and red mix as shown in the photo, are extremely agile dogs. There is no where livestock can roam that the dogs cannot follow and herd them away from – or alert you to the location where the animal has become stuck. Blue or Red Heelers are the absolute best herding dog around. The number of hours of work we would have to put in on our 56-acre homestead without our brother/sister pair of blue heelers is staggering to even think about. The epitome of the herd dog breeds is also commonly referred to as Australian Cattle Dogs, Australian Heelers, and Queensland Heelers. They were bred specifically for the task of herding and predator detection by Australian farmers in the Outback through a series of trial and error. Australian sheep farmers who grew tired of losing valuable time herding their livestock and coming up shy on their herd count due to wanderers killed by predators or that strayed too far to find, mixed together various traditional domesticated and wild canine breeds until they came up with the perfect combination. Modern red or blue heelers stem from an ancestry of dingo, collie, keplie, bull terrier, and even Dalmation heritage. The meidum size dogs are known for their excellent endurance and agility. They commonly live to reach 13 to 15 years old. Australian Cattle Dogs must be both physically and mentally stimulated to have a fulfilled existence. Bad behaviors from this breed only present themselves when the homesteading dogs become bored from a lack of activity or when penned in a confined space. Heelers demand, and thrive, on both mental and physical stimulation. Folks who just love the beautiful look of the dogs and their affectionate and loyal nature will be so very sorely disappointed and frustrated with the breed if they think a daily walk around the block and suburban backyard will fulfill their needs. They are very intelligent dogs and learn very quickly. During their first 12 months you simply must expect them to be hyper – there is just no other way to put it. Our vet told us if we could survive the first year Jovie and her brother, Ruger, would be the best dogs we ever welcomed into our family – and he was right. Blue heeler love having a companion to herd the livestock with – and to but off excess energy after the work day is through. The heelers got their familiar moniker due to the way they herd large livestock, by nipping them on the heel. They will never, ever, allow a horse, goat, sheep, cow, steer, calf – or even an ornery bull to stray from exactly where they belong. They do not injure the livestock with their herding techniques but get their point across just the same. Do not be shocked if the heeler attempts to herd you as well. It took a few months to teach Jovie there was absolutely no need to imprint her teeth onto the heel of my cowboy boots to keep me moving! It took me only about an hour to teach Jovie and Ruger (separately) that my chickens and ducks were not a snack but critters they were in charge of keeping nearby and protecting. If a hawk swoops within six feets of the ground to try to snatch a chicken or duck, the “majestic” bird of prey will wind up being the snack instead of having one. In spite of their herding work dog nature, they are incredibly gentle with children and loyal – as in, they will often fall asleep on your feet to make sure you don't dare make a move which they are not aware. Blue and red heelers are constantly on guard. Both their vision and hearing is top notch, allowing them to notice a predator is near long before the livestock they are tasked with watching over and herding, is placed in jeopardy. Male blue and red heelers commonly weigh about 33 to 35 pounds. Female Australian Cattle Dogs commonly weight approximately 31 to 35 pounds.  Jovie, my “spunky beast”  was the giant of her liter and weighs about 60 pounds of pure muscle. The males of the breed routinely reach about 20 inches tall with females staning just an inche or two shorter. Blue heelers (or red) will climb right into bed with you if you let them -telling them they are off duty for the day will not suffice. if not permitted to snuggle at night, they will prefer to sleep on the floor right next to their human so they are ready to roll once your feet hit the floor. Heelers are a one-person dog. While they will love and protect the entire family with the every ounce of their being, they will claim only one soul as their human and listen to that person's commands with an absolute sense of duty and be their shadow until their dying day. Best Livestock Guardian Dog Breed Livestock guardian dogs are strictly outdoor animals who live with the herd or flock and protect it during the dangerous nighttime hours and throughout the day. These lovable beasts sleep in the barn or in a dog box next to the chicken coop or small livestock pens. Multiple livestock guardian dogs are commonly found on farms and homesteads. They live and amicably work together while keeping a keen eye on the chickens, ducks, sheep, goats, cattle, and horses. They quickly learn their territory and will fight to the death to protect it. The livestock guardian dogs form a tight bond with the animals they are tasked with protecting, even at an early age. The Great Pyrenees is far and above the best of all great livestock guardian dogs. Some keepers of this breed even brag they have not had to coop-up their poultry anymore because their beloved Great Pyrs does such a great job of teaching deadly predators farm avoidance and patrols its territory with a ferocious sense of duty like a canine Marine. There is little to no training involved when it comes to teaching a Great Pyrenees to protect the livestock and to learn its territory – such behavior simply comes natural to them. They are incredibly gentle giants who inherently know the difference between predators and pets and livestock commony found on the homestead. These livestock guardian dogs will be sweet and tolerant of your little ones – and stand until their final breath between them and danger. They eagerly accept affection and remain patient when their humans and the pets which follow them around the farm, come into their domain. The Great Pyrs just always seems to know how much force is necessary to thwart an unwanted visitor to the homestead. They simply cannot be tricked away from their herd by a clever predator that wants to double back and have a snack or pave the way for another pack member to do the same. And yes, they will also protect their herd/flock and human family from unwelcome two-legged predators as well. While these dogs are quite active as puppies, their apparent demeanor changes substantially by adulthood. They do LOVE a good nap – but always keep one eye and both ears open so they are ready if dangers present itself. The only downside to having a Great Pyrenees as a livestock guardian dog – other than their massive appetite, is frequent barking if not corrected from the annoying behavior by the time they are eight months to one year old. Great Pyrenees dogs typically have a life span of 10 to 12 years. Males commonly grow to be about 32 inches tall and females reach a height of 29 inches. Male Grat Pyrs weigh approximately 110 to 120 pounds on average and females grow to be about 80 to 90 pounds. Real Dog Supreme shows us a video on the Great Pyrenees as a great guardian family dog: Having both a livestock guardian dog and a herding dog on your hometead is ideal, but if the budget allows only for one dog on the homestead, go with a blue heeler herding dog. While this would leave your herd or flock vulnerable at night, unless you could pull off training them to live with their protectees, and that will not be easy, you get the overall best of both worlds.
