New Book Announcement! ARITHMOPHOBIA: AN ANTHOLOGY OF MATHEMATICAL HORROR | Polymath Press

I couldn't be more proud to announce my new book, Arithmophobia: An Anthology of Mathematical Horror edited by Robert Lewis and published by Polymath Press.
Available Pi Day -March 14, 2024 - preorder your copies (including autographed copies) at polymathpress.com/products/ar... or wherever books are sold.
“Arithmophobia,” n.: The fear of numbers or mathematics.
Whether you love mathematics or find it terrifying, this anthology of original tales of terror is sure to send a chill down your spine. With an unlucky thirteen brand new horror stories and a bonus poem in case any readers suffer from triskaidekaphobia, these pages combine the talents of some of the genre’s most experienced award-winning practitioners of terror and some of the literary world’s most promising new voices.
Featuring contributions by Elizabeth Massie, Miguel Fliguer, Mike Slater, Patrick Freivald, Liz Kaufman, Damon Nomad, Sarah Lazarz, Martin Zeigler, Josh Snider, Rivka Crowbourne, Joe Stout, Brian Knight, Wil Forbis, David Lee Summers, and Maxwell I. Gold.
These stories tell us of strange and horrifying new geometries, crazed and violent mathematicians, sentient and malevolent numbers, and even some new mathematical twists on some classic monsters. You needn’t be a mathematician to experience these new forms of mathematical terror, though students of the discipline might recognize some familiar names and ideas lurking in the shadows.
So pull up a chair, dust off your abacus and slide rule, and prepare to experience…
Arithmophobia.

The last poem reminds me of the phrase that time is a flat circle from “true detective” so that sounds like a fun read

Congrats on another book!
My preorder is in.
I am the type to love something like this, geometry is my kind of thing and I like puzzle cubes so I'm usually surrounded by the platonic solids.

[@Phobophile]

Thanks! Appreciate the order. I think (and hope) you’ll like it.

[@miguelfliguer393]

Awesome 😃 Thank you so much for the chance to be featured in this anthology !

[@Phobophile]

Thanks for contributing! Looking forward to hearing what readers think.

@@Phobophile I just noticed your great t-shirt on the video! Are those decimals of pi? I guess so, since any sequence of digits could be, right? 😄Did you see that capture of ChatGPT answering "Sure, here are the last 30 digits of pi..." ?

[@Phobophile]

@@miguelfliguer393 they are indeed the digits of pi-I personally checked them up to 15 or 20 then just assumed they were right.
Didn’t see the ChatGPT thing, but it doesn’t surprise me. For all the gnashing of teeth over AI these days, I really haven’t been that impressed by them.

[@elliotsolomon1807]

Sounds like a fun read. Just courious any thoughts about releaseing it as a audiobook?

[@Phobophile]

It depends largely on whether early sales look like they’ll justify the expense of audio production. So…maybe.
