Acquisition: New science fiction novella by Jessica Lévai

Lanternfish Press is pleased to announce the acquisition of Jessica Lévai’s second speculative fiction novella, The Glass Garden, for publication in Spring-Summer 2025.

An earth archaeologist and her adventurous, space-traveling sister team up to visit a planet with cave art that might be an artifact of a forgotten civilization. As the crew explores the luminescent cave, they begin to fear—and eventually to hope—that its contents are more than they bargained for.

Jessica Lévai has loved stories and storytellers her whole life. After a double major in history and mathematics, a PhD in Egyptology, and eight years of the adjunct shuffle, she devoted herself to writing full-time. You can find her work at Strange Horizons, Cossmass Infinities, and Reactor Magazine. Her first novella, The Night Library of Sternendach: A Vampire Opera in Verse, won the Lord Ruthven Award for Fiction. She dreams of one day collaborating on a graphic novel, and meeting Stephen Colbert.
