In 2010–11, HILOBROW serialized Cocky the Fox, a swearing-animal novel by our friend James Parker (with illustrations by Kristin Parker). Earlier this year, James began re-telling the Cocky saga… in the form of an opera, here at HILOBROW!
During 3Q2025, we’ll publish three further installments of COCKY: THE OPERA.
Adam McGovern (shown here) will continue to deliver over-the-transom, on-tangent essays, dialogues and subjective scholarship via his monthly-ish series OFF-TOPIC.
Josh Glenn’s SEMIOPUNK is an irregular series dedicated to surfacing examples (and predecessors) of the sf subgenre that HILOBROW was the first to name “semiopunk.” Here’s the 3Q2025 lineup:
WHITE NOISE | BABEL | EMBASSYTOWN
The series NOT TODAY, EBAY will continue to share recent examples of stuff that Josh was tempted to purchase from eBay… but, heroically, didn’t.
Josh’s other HILOBROW series include: SCREENSHOTS | PHOTO DUMP
HILOBROW’s Josh Glenn is editor of the RADIUM AGE series of reissued proto-sf adventures from the MIT Press. During 3Q2025, the following titles will be published:
- Marietta S. Shaginyan’s Yankees in Petrograd (August 2025, translated and introduced by Jill Roese). “A novel of our time, in which major events succeed each other with purely cinematographic speed….” — Nikolai Meshcheryakov, “Foreword to the First Edition” (1924) | See this title at the MIT Press website.
- Before Superman: Superhumans of the Radium Age (August 2025, edited and introduced by Josh). An anthology of proto-sf stories and novel excerpts exploring the uncanny (and then brand-new) concept of the “superhuman.” | See this title at the MIT Press website.
Exciting projects for Spring 2026 and beyond are also in the works…
As we have done for over ten years now, we will continue to serialize some of Josh’s favorite Radium Age proto-sf stories and novels. Here’s the 3Q2025 lineup:
