Naomi Grossman is wrapping up her Foreword for OBSOLESCENCE this week!

She called OBSOLESCENCE co-editor, Alan Lastufka, after reading the first five stories, blown away by the quality: “Where did you find these writers?!” We are so happy to hear she is enjoying her readthrough.

OBSOLESCENCE will be released in May 2023. You can pre-order the ebook now, paperback and hardcover pre-orders will be available early next year.
