Bewildering Stories introduces and welcomes...

Hannah Ascough

Hannah lives in Yellowknife, in Canada’s Northwest Territories. She works for an environmental organization and is completing a PhD degree in Global Development Studies. Coincidentally, this issue’s Art Gallery features a photo of northern lights in or near Hannah’s hometown.

“The Sleep Stealers’ Support Group” will intrigue readers with its depiction of an unusual — indeed, fantastical — remedy for insomnia. It answers an expected question: What happens to those from whom sleep is stolen? Does the theft mean that insomnia may be contagious? And how does such a “support group” actually function? What is it supposed to to? “Fascinating,” as Mr. Spock would say.

Welcome to Bewildering Stories, Hannah. We’re glad to have you with us.
