(If you’re an editor, by all means reach out.) I have done a lot of translation for academics over the past few years, but in 2021 I got to translate an SFF story too! I really enjoyed it and would do it again. With Eurasian Monsters it found a wonderful new home! The book also has illustrations for each story, really cool. If you remember, this story was supposed to be in an ill-fated middle grade anthology many years ago, but I pulled it after payment issues and dodged a bullet, because the publisher shut down soon after that. The monster is very scary and shaped like a tiny chick (I did not make this part up). Middle grade story about a mobility disabled Hungarian girl who meets a traditional monster from Northwestern Hungarian folklore. “Veruska and the Lúdvérc” in Eurasian Monsters, edited by Margrét Helgadóttir. You can consider this story speculative, or not, it’s up to you. Hungary in the early 90s, childhood, weird paranormal stuff (because it is Hungary in the early 90s! that can’t be left out), antisemitism (likewise). “The Hidden Knowledge Society” in Seasons Between Us: Tales of Identities and Memories, edited by Susan Forest and Lucas K. * This particular story is also available on the publisher’s Patreon

I was really happy with how the voice turned out in this one. Magic and iron deficiency anemia! Also two major trans characters who are friends. The story about the rental that drinks your blood. “A Technical Term, like Privilege” in Whether Change: The Revolution Will Be Weird, edited by Scott Gable and C. Thank you for checking out the list! If you enjoy my work and would like to see more of it, the best way to ensure that is to back my Patreon. Links to bookstores are affiliate links (all of them).

This year a lot of my work appeared in anthologies, where that’s usually not an option.

Where a free version is available, I’m linking it directly. I did have some interesting things, like my first SFF translation and my first scholarly article about SFF. This was a very difficult year for me because of the pandemic, especially the first half – I had some changes in May and then further changes in August that made things easier, but I’m still catching up from the first half of the year. Happy new 2022! This is a roundup of my various stories, poems, and even a research article about SFF that appeared in 2021.
