FYI
"At night I am curator and stowaway, trading beetle-beads,
tiny coins each humming an orchard’s secret: how thunder tastes,
the recipe for river-salt, the lullaby bees used to keep."
"Pangolin Cabinet" by David Anson Lee (Issue 4) now free to read online!

"I’m a stranger, unwelcome, as I’ve been since the moment I was folded into existence by the hands of my master."
"On Ink-Scribbled Wings" by Ryan Cole (Issue 4) now free to read online!

As we are getting into some of the hotter weather, we'd like to remind folks to spend plenty of time flopped down in the shade, panting. Sweat from your nose and paw pads.
Oh, and drink lots of water. Puddles are harder to find these days, but it's hose and sprinkler system, so you've got options!
Plott Hound would love to see more weird horror in the submission pile. (At the end of this clip is the altered bear from Annihilation.)
Sinking deep into its POV, how much bear is left inside of its mind? Is it still itself or is it a mindless zombie? Does it remember its past self? Does it care?
Tor anyone looking for some fantastic prose and poetry, Plott Hound Magazine Issue 02, Summer 2026, is free and available to read online.
I would say don't judge a book by its cover, but we're so dang proud of our cover art that I'd like to think we're the exception.

"The wings became legend. Symbol of a colony that remembered the sky.
Now they are all I have left to give.
I bite them off."
"The Taste of My Own Wings" by @subham6.bsky.social now free to read online!
