I've decided to put a few of my older stories on this website. Here is the first of them: "The Rose in Twelve Petals."

My poem "The Witch" is currently up on Heliotrope. I haven't written poetry for a long time, and I really do like this one.

My short story "Catherine and the Satyr" is currently available on Strange Horizons. Another quite long story, "Csilla's Story," will be coming out in the alternative-history anthology Other Earths.

"The Rapid Advance of Sorrow" has been reprinted in both The Apocalypse Reader and The Best of Lady Churchill's Rosebud Wristlet.

My short story collection, In the Forest of Forgetting, is available in paperback. Interfictions is available as well. In the Forest of Forgetting was chosen as one of Booklist's top 10 science fiction and fantasy books of the year. Ray Olson writers,

Happy endings are tentative, temporary, and even repugnant in Goss' astringent, incidentally comic fantasies, which are as varied in setting, manner, characters, and flavor as they are consistent in high quality.

Would you like to learn about Hungarian fairies? I have to warn you, this represents my very small knowledge of the subject, based entirely on research in English. Anyone who knows more about Hungarian fairies than I do (probably the entire population of Hungary) is welcome to correct me. But here it is anyway, my article on Hungarian fairies on the Endicott Studios website: "Hungarian Fairies."

Email your friends a postcard with my poem "The Bear's Daughter" on it! This is part of an Endicott Studios project. Here is the postcard for you to email, and here are other art-and-poetry postcards from Endicott.

British composer Brian Blyth Daubney has composed music for, and recorded, seven of my poems. They are on his CD October Roses, which you can order from the British Music Society. If you're interested, you can also read a review of the CD. The poems on the CD are "Autumn, the Fool," "Echo and Narcissus," "The Frost," "Helen in Sparta," "Goblin Song," "The Singer," and "Dirge for a Lady." I think several of them are unpublished, so this is the first time anyone can see (or hear) them . . .
