Screenshots of reactormag.com article titled βMust Read Short Speculative Fiction: January 2026β by Alex Brown. Writeup reads "Slake" by Victor Manibo Want a deeply upsetting short story? Well, here you go. Manibo's piece is climate fiction by way of horror. Calix is trapped in their apartment as a hurricane bears down. It's been raining for weeks straight and the city has more or less shut down as the flooding gets worse. Calix is separated from Jericho by the rising water, and the combination of the isolation, intense anxiety, and constant rain pushes Calix to the brink. I was glad I had already finished my tea by the time I read this story. (Sunday Morning TransportβJanuary 18, 2026)
I donβt often write short stories, so seeing one of mine connect with readers is a special kind of thrill. Thank you @reactorsff.bsky.social and @bookjockeyalex.bsky.social!

unfortunately, we found a fair number of best of sf anthos were just authors turned editor publishing their friends in a circle jerk of white male writers propping each other up and then by dint of that creating "classics" that did not hold up

That was wild honestly
Great job with this book! So excited for the rest of the world to enjoy it
The Washington Post is getting rid of its Books section. Weβre losing the institutionsβjournalism, middle-class artistic and intellectual cultureβthat once made life bearable. Those things were a threat to the super-rich who increasingly govern us. Democracy dies in illiteracy.
I am such a huge @victormanibo.com fan and THE VILLA ONE BELOVED is his best book yet.
