In these pages you'll find speculative fiction, magical realism, memoir, poetry, alternate history, and more, side-by-side or fused together into genre-bending mutant hybrid literary forms.

In these pages you'll find night terrors, ancient goddesses, cyborg burglars, autistic superheroes, zeppelin armadas, interdimensional space pirates, spiritualist robot mechanics, and the meddlesome agents of the Reality Patrol.

Spoon Knife 3: Incursions is a book that will expand your horizons, challenge your perceptions, invade your dreams, and inject its larvae into your brain. Read it before the Reality Patrol bans it.

Reviews

[Dora Raymaker · Rating 5 out of 5]

Every year I wait for this anthology to come out. It fills me up; it feeds me; it, yes, makes more spoons for me to face an often draining, hostile world. Yeah, sure, this year I have a story in it (which I'm very proud of, and features a character extra-close to my heart who you may see again). But I'm one of 20 authors, and every single one of them is worth your time. How often is there an entire volume of neurodivergent and/or queer writers, spanning three generations and multiple axes of diversity, edited by people unafraid of disrupting mainstream narratives and normative literary forms? Sink your teeth into our edges and grin.
