It’s definitely fall at the Sunday Morning Transport offices, and we’re reveling in comfort foods, warm sweaters, and amazing new science fiction, fantasy, and (as it is the season) horror stories for this coming month.

We’ve also got a few new treats (no tricks!) planned for you, our readers, as well as five new stories!

The Sunday Morning Transport is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support our authors’ work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.

First up, on October 2, Annalee Newitz brings us “A Hole in the Light,” featuring an astounding world wrapped around a stellar story of grief and growth. On October 9, Bonnie Jo Stufflebeam’s “Family is Never Far Away,” will send chills through your DNA. On October 16, “Trinity’s Dragon” by Holly Lyn Walrath combines dragons and space ships in a way that will forever alter the dividing line (or at least the current social media struggle to define that line) between science fiction and fantasy. On October 23, Angela Slater revisits mythology, with a twist, in “The Woman who Married The Minotaur.” And, finally (whew, FIVE stories this month!) on October 31, Madeline Ashby’s “You Are Cordially Invited to an Evening of Horror at the Secret Hills Golf and Country Club,” will cap off spooky season in the best and most hospitable of ways. 

As always, we want to celebrate how you, our readers, support our authors, both with your comments and by sharing the stories you love and telling others about Sunday Morning Transport. Our goal to bring new short stories to the world and to support short fiction depends on you!

There are several additional ways you can support our authors and their work:

— Boost your faves: next week, we’ll post a reader’s poll for you to share with us your three favorite stories from this year, especially those behind the paywall. When we’ve collected your votes we’ll share the top-ranked stories with everyone, and reboost them far and wide.

—  Recommend stories: If you are able, please suggest your favorite stories for Nebula and Hugo reading lists, as well as everywhere you can — there are so many great stories, and we’d love to see them get additional recognition!

— Participate in the comments (authors love to see them and so do we!) and keep an eye out for an open thread or two, coming soon.

Meantime, thank you for sharing your love of great short stories with the Sunday Morning Transport — through your subscriptions (great to give as a gift!) and your enthusiasm for what we do here.

Julian, Fran, Kaitlin, Delia, and Devin

PS (from Julian) — To honor the retirement of a tennis legend, here’s a NYTimes article by a dearly missed writer that is one of the best pieces of nonfiction I read all month: “Roger Federer as Religious Experience” (2006, gift link).
