I’m always delighted to have a new story published, but it makes me particularly happy when something I’ve written appears in a magazine I love. I’ve been a regular reader of the Electric Spec for a while, and I look forward to each new edition. Each quarter, they publish a small, tightly-curated selection of high-quality speculative stories.

The May 2021 issue lands today, ready to “examine the nature of relationships from unique perspectives only the imagination can offer“, and includes my short fantasy story Jeremy Sleeps.

I’m fascinated by sleep, and our relationship to it - you can read some of my thoughts on sleep, and how it relates to the story, in an Electric Spec blog post from earlier in the month.

I would also like to say to anyone who is of approximately the same age and musical inclination as me: sorry about the Pearl Jam earworm.
