My short story "The Eight-Thousanders" is out in the Sept./Oct. 2020 issue of Asimov’s Science Fiction. The story focuses on the ethical issues surrounding mountain climbing and the destructive tech bro attitudes found within elite industries.
Or tl;dr: VAMPIRE ON MOUNT EVEREST!
So far the story is receiving excellent reviews, with SFRevu calling it “Hugo worthy” and Sam J. Miller calling it “a chilling, exciting story of climbing Mount Everest, and the internal demons that drive you to do so, and the external ones that might confront you when you do.”
If you want to read more about the story, the Asimov’s blog did an interview with me about it including the story’s origins and my thoughts on masculinity (which, spoiler, is a major plot point of the story).
Copies of the magazine are currently available in bookstores and digital marketplaces.
I’m also giving away 10 signed copies of the Sept./Oct. issue of Asimov’s Science Fiction, plus a few digital copies, as thanks to my readers.
