The Artificial Man Note: The print format version of this story is the leading title in a small anthology of Clare Winger Harris's works. The audiobook is not an anthology and is only "The Artificial Man". If Mindy find...

Not once did Clare Winger Harris's name come up during my research on the history of cyberpunk. She released "The Artificial Man" in 1929 --a story exploring cybernetic augmentation...in 1929?! :D This is 11 years before Asimov's robot series 🀯 www.storiesofwonder.com/products/the...

*The shop doesn't get any money for this one, Mindy just really loved it & wants you to go if you're available. Maybe I'll geek out about it more later & share pictures from last year at some point.

ABAA New York International Antiquarian Book Fair (NYIABF) April 30 - May 3, 2026 celebrates the 66th Annual ABAA New York International Antiquarian Book Fairβ€”the place to go for rare antique books, antique maps, ephemera, out-of-print books, and more!

Soo...last year I went to this book fair where the cheapest thing I saw was over $200 --and it was an original Moebius work! The guy who allegedly inspired Ridley Scott & William Gibson's own cyberpunk worlds. Absolutely worth traveling to the NYC Antiquarian Book Fair: www.nyantiquarianbookfair.com

A major fantasy release this week is not for the faint of heart: The Poet Empress by Shen Tao. This beautiful but horrific dark fantasy breaks many rags to riches tropes while demonstrating several believable terrors of oppression. *Not for younger audiences. www.storiesofwonder.com/products/the...

[...]. Your little doc bot that's loaded with all of your dev docs (shopify.dev/docs) just helped me more than then the docs themselves and the forums combined.

Website is almost in a usable state! I just got over a major hurdle with displaying each story's affiliate links in a user-friendly way. Shout out to @shopifysupport.bsky.social [...]

Between dropping food & finding a way to describe these genres together, the new store name will be, "Stories of Wonder." You may see it branded "Stories of Wonder Coffeehouse" or "Stories of Wonder Coffee & Books" or the like as I figure out a prefix that rolls of the tongue.

I have been calling these genres together, "Stories of Wonder." I have a lot of positive feedback and some straight up requests to adopt this as the store name.

Heyaaa! Update incoming finally :D

I am dropping food from the store menu. In result, "Basil & Books" no longer feels right. The coffee bar is still in the works with the bookshop specializing in scifi/fantasty/folklore/weird fiction/etc.
