Two Short Stories For Nebula Award Consideration

Michael H. Hanson would like to promote two of his science fiction stories that were published this year for consideration toward the 2026 Nebula Award for Best Short Story.

“After The Bomb” was published in THE JUNK MERCHANTS: A Literary Tribute to William S. Burroughs, Volume 1, on June 24, 2025.

“Shopping With Umbillica” was published in THE JUNK MERCHANTS: A Literary Tribute to William S. Burroughs, Director’s Cut, on October 7, 2025.

One a tale of life and pain in a post-apocalyptic New York City, and the other a vision of a Dystopia that offers up a drug for every possible contingency in life, with the exception of reality itself.
