Please see the addendum below from Tanvir.

Addendum from Tanvir Ahmed: This conversation was recorded in September 2025, and in it, I mentioned that Afghanistan was not presently being bombed. Between then and now, Pakistan bombed Afghanistan and killed dozens from the air, including journalists, cricket players, and children. Pakistan's escalation plans have been broadcast for some time now, as reported in February 2025. The article under discussion in Strange Horizons was about the way Muslims are racialized into monsters, with specific reference to Afghans. That same process is still at work in the ongoing ethnic cleansings of Afghans in Pakistan and Iran.

Follow along as Marshall and Nick discuss the voice, tone, worldbuilding and character building across some of their favorite books. 

Links mentioned during the show:

My Country is a Ghost - Eugenia Triantafyllou  

“When Niovi tried to smuggle her mother’s ghost into the new country, she found herself being passed from one security officer to another, detailing her mother’s place and date of death over and over again.”  

Six of Crows - Leigh Bardugo   

“Joost had two problems: the moon and his mustache.”  

It - Stephen King  

“The terror, which would not end for another twenty-eight years—if it ever did end— began, so far as I know or can tell, with a boat made from a sheet of newspaper floating down a gutter swollen with rain.”  

1984 - George Orwell  

“It was a bright cold day in April, and the clocks were striking thirteen.”  

Rangers of the Witchwoods: Blood Witch – Nick Bright 

“The trunk of a Witchwood creaked as a rock cougar jumped from tree to tree, silently chasing its prey, but the only thing that Theo could hear were the scratches of his own quill against parchment. 

The Black Sun – Marshall Carr Jr.  

“At first, the objects hitting the atmosphere and streaking through the Earth’s chemical layer looked like meteors.”

  • Look at your schedule for the week and try to find time within that schedule to dedicate just to writing. It’s okay if it’s only an hour, and even if it’s only thinking about writing! The goal is to find the time. Let us know how it’s going!
