Publications

I have two novels coming out from Saga Press, in 2017 and 2018.  The first one, The Strange Case of the Alchemist’s Daughter, will be out in the summer of 2017, but it’s already available for pre-order (just click on the link).  Here is the fabulous cover:

A sequel will be out the following year.  These novels are based on a novella of mine originally published on Strange Horizons, which you can read online: “The Mad Scientist’s Daughter.”

Here are some short stories, essays, and poems of mine that came out recently:

Come See the Living Dryad,” on Tor.com, is about an unusual woman with a very unusual disease, and the great-great granddaughter who tries to find out what actually happened to her.

Red as Blood and White as Bone,” also on Tor.com, is about a girl who believes in fairy tales, and the day one comes knocking on her door.

“The Other Thea,” in The Starlit Wood, an anthology of fairy tales from Saga Press, is about a girl who loses her shadow and has to find it again in the Other Country.

Starlit Wood

I’m not sure what to call “To Budapest, with Love,” which was also published this year, but it’s sort of a story and sort of an essay.  You can find it on Uncanny Magazine.

I had two poems published recently: “Rose Child” in Uncanny Magazine and “The Bear’s Wife” in Mythic Delirium.

Projects

I’ve started a poetry blog!  If you like my poetry, go to Theodora Goss: Poems and subscribe to receive poems by email as I post them.  Or just go read the blog . . .

Fabulous artist and illustrator David Wyatt painted a picture called The Word Witch that is based on me. You can buy a print on Etsy, or various Word Witch items on Redbubble.
