sometimes when you're cleaning out old skeets you come across things you do not understand at all or remember but decide to keep

shitty little sentence that makes no sense but i just like the sound of it

“Why aren’t college students protesting” stories are almost always wrong (they are protesting), omit crucial context (they were brutally punished for protesting before), and somehow suggest that 19 yr olds have more moral responsibility than elected officials three times their age

Weird friends! I'm delighted to share another story with you today — @pintsncupcakes.bsky.social 's discomfiting "You Were Just Here." www.weirdhorrormagazine.com/you-were-jus...

This is the first of a few magazines I’m supporting this year! I’m excited!

So what is weird fiction, anyway? It's when you read weird fiction.

Pleased as punch to have some new flash fiction in the very amazing @bulbregion.bsky.social today. Consider our sky here ---> bulbregion.com/The-Wrong-Sk...

In case you missed it yesterday, I have a new story out in the April issue of Nightmare Magazine! The Final Girl Trap is now available to read online. www.nightmare-magazine.com/fiction/the-...

My new collection ‘Thin Places in Hard Concrete‘ is out on 30 April as an eBook and paperback with 10 brand new weird stories. Pre-order the eBook here 👉 www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0DC5PL7T4

huge congrats to whomstever beat me to that signed/drawn-in West Passage!!!! but also throw some dollars at ARB if you have 'em, fellow book nerds!

hi, sad and tired all the time. i'm dad.

Help ARB become a paying venue for ruthless criticism of all that doesn’t exist

News used to be better

ARB is one of *the best* sites for serious, good, exploratory sff criticism out there. It means a whole lot to me, as one of the original founders and editors, and it's become what it is today under @casella.bsky.social's editorship. Sff is a better place because of ARB. Please support its future!

ARB's the real deal, a source of outstanding speculative fiction criticism and analysis. Consider supporting them. I'm going to!

now the day is done, and i can return to the raging penis chronicles

I keep drawing people with either missing hearts, hearts being devoured or eaten, or things pouring out from their hearts. i'm sure that's nothing I need to worry about or think too deeply about, lol

i cantasy

Short stories are great. You can read one before breakfast.

sometimes, someone says thank you for writing, this meant something to me, i appreciate this. and you say ah, very good, and keep writing. sometimes, someone says hey you're a dingdong, i hate you and resent that this exists, i am so mad, goddamn you. and you say ah, very good, and keep writing.

this is good stuff. their book coverage and genre discussion, very good stuff. i am going to figure out how to computer my money toward this, and i hope you do too.

the great thing about having a dark cat that you can barely see at night, is that sometimes you lean over and are like, oh there's my little baby down there, aw there you are little baby, how are you little baby, goodnight little baby, and you're talking to your jeans

hey, did you enjoy UNCERTAIN SONS AND OTHER STORIES? did you know a brief rating/review/reddit shoutout/library request goes a long way to helping other people discover indie publishers like Undertow and their works? i bet you did. undertowpublications.com

New from @thomasha.bsky.social :) story plus link to an audio version clarkesworldmagazine.com/ha_03_26/

Just caught up with this, two brilliant authors! Great job @kjy1066.bsky.social and @thomasha.bsky.social, you both read so well!

Set aside time this past weekend to catch up with @thomasha.bsky.social's latest. With its layers of colonial powers, the novella felt influenced by Swanwick's Stations of the Tide (haven't read Wolfe's Fifth Head of Cerberus yet, sorry!) Check it out! clarkesworldmagazine.com/ha_03_26/

what an asshole

man, i'm sympathetic to the nerves, i am a walking raw nerve, but when we're reacting to reactions of other people's reactions about whether or not other people are appropriately reacting, it's time for me to unplug and get the energy out any other way

Spend a little time with my novel The Subtle Art of Folding Space! Available today! Bugs in the physics! Status reports in the form of food! Finding a family! us.macmillan.com/books/978125...

Happy release day to Aviary: a sapphic, surreal, literary-leaning horror-thriller that was so hard to write it almost drove me into total madness. In addition to the stated dedications, it is *especially* dedicated to angry women and my fellow chaos queers.

Hell of a time to get to announce this buuut I have a new Editor’s Pick story out at Gavagai today 🫠 Maybe check out “The City Reecamines Its Regrets” in between calling your reps?

This story made me see heads (and cats) in a totally knew light! Stunning prose as always by @kcmeadbrewer.com in @bulbregion.bsky.social!!

"we need kids to get an early start operating machines that are routinely wrong and may try to coax them into suicide and/or psychosis" is a fun education perspective i disagree with actually

I've got a suuuper meta story in this one ("Untitled #5"), if you like suuuper meta stories. It's about storytelling and urban legends and most importantly, TULPAS. Also holy hell some of those other names! Comes out on the 14th! Very jazzed to get my copy, 3LBE always does a bang-up job.
