Samir has such a way with their writing of picking at the scabs of complicated relationships and "Starspeaker" really digs into a parental relationship that encompasses pain, resentment, duty, love, and all the contradictions that having all those feelings at the same time involves. Love this story.
Carnyx PressI keep coming back to this story @seizethepress.bsky.social put out by Samir Sirk Morató about communing with comets. It's filled with magic, grief, rage, and the trauma passed on from our parents. An astonishing, powerful work of speculative fiction. www.seizethepress.com/2026/01/30/s...
