Hey @psychopomp.com ! Check out what Maria says about “Garden of the Bloodpotter”: “Brown weaves a story of love and loyalty, betrayal and magic, that is epic in scope and complexity.” Thank you, @mariahaskins.com ! 🖤♥️🖤 And ditto about Psychopomp novellas.

Thanks to Haven Spec for publishing my voodoo doll manifesto… what do you owe to the one who unspooled themselves to make your life?

My wallet couldn’t take the temptation! Novellas and novelettes are slept on.

Editors- keep a look out. This book seems like too much fun.

“I asked ChatGPT.” Yeah, well I asked the eldritch being that lives behind the opera house, and he thinks time, effort, and education create the most beautiful dynamic art and he hopes you eat some truffles and garlic before you go speak to him privately about it.

Whale breath has to be HOT!

I'm never going to ungast these flabbers! Congrats to everyone on the list at www.bsfa.co.uk/bsfa-awards-...

Happy Valentines Day, werewolves! Be careful who you entrust your furry little hearts to...

In the worst way. 😉

@tco-anthology.bsky.social Any of these dishes worthy of a Friday the 13th cookout? youtu.be/SXGgrM-lEsE?...

I just got a story rejection so completely form that neither my name, nor the name of my submission, was mentioned, though it said it made it to the top 10%. Editors... please don't do that. Not even the name of the project itself was mentioned!

Nominations are now open for the 2026 Hugo Awards! Emails are going out to eligible nominators (those who became a member of LAcon V by January 31, 2026, or were a member of the Seattle Worldcon 2025) about how to set up their LAcon V virtual convention account.

I've got 10 stories out on sub right now and I'm running out of stock. I wish my Masters Program wasn't so virulently anti-speculative so I could use some of my assignments, but alas, I must toil day and night over (shudder) LITERARY FICTION.

Yourself, but as a cartoon.

Have you heard the news? The dead wal- Wait, wrong song! The news is: Tenebrous has signed a distribution deal with @ipgbook.bsky.social ! What does that mean exactly? For our readers: hopefully more places where you can find our books, especially more bookstores and retailers. ⬇️

My speculative poetry career has begun! Stay tuned for my dark witchy warning “Mothercraft: a Villanelle”

This is my sister’s book. Isn’t it gorgeous?

Hell yeah! I spin around and hit that mimic straight in the teeth, grab those teeth, toss them in the oven to roast, and put them in my freezer broth bag, for winter soup season. Collagen is good for the skin. #thecookoutanthology #rpg

The race to what? I didn’t know it was a race.

Numerous injuries

Guile... Guinan... Guilenan

Just the look of this cover is healing something in my soul

Yay! I’m so excited to be able to help create opportunities for black fantasy and sci-fi readers and writers to be seen. Support our cause and support our community- we are holding spots for never-before-published writers too.

INEXPENSIVE BOOKES YOU SAY?? (Pick up ONE MESSAGE REMAINS, my mini-collection of one novella + 3 novelettes, for le cheap!)

WHEEEEEEEEE!!!!

Eligibility Post! #writingcommunity

We've received more than 2,500 submissions at Nightmare this submissions period (and we don't close until midnight). I don't know exactly how I'll get through all these subs, but I do know that if every submitter bought just one issue of the magazine, it would pay for a year of content.

Let’s gooooooooooo!

Thank you to @locusmag.bsky.social for recommending “Garden of the Bloodpotter!” I’m so honored.

To deal with the winter cold, share one of your favorite winter movies! ☃️❄️🎿

One day left to submit your work to Nightmare Magazine! We close at 11 pm tomorrow night. As ever, we're looking for short stories under 7500 words, flash stories 0-1500 words long, poetry, and creative nonfiction.

More precious than a pile of gold.
