although Theo needs zero help writing something gnarly, i'm always happy to aid in making something wetter & worse! but from the jump, this one was (and is) a ragged little peel of prose. pleased to see it out in the wild

this story is an intricate, pensive, and ultimately kind look at the concept of a woman as a carnivorous plant that extends far beyond rage. the body horror and its sensuality are also great. would recommend reading

as we wrap up the @cursedmorsels.bsky.social FLESH zine call, i want to thank everyone who trusted us with their bizarre, intimate, transgressive work. it was a pleasure to read it all & there were so many stories i loved but couldn't take. i hope that i see them published elsewhere.

While you’re here, please take a moment to read my article about Rodney Taylor, a disabled double amputee who’s being held in solitary confinement by ICE. He was two days away from receiving new prosthetics when they grabbed him. He’s been detained for months & there’s a petition to get him out:

Together.

For many folks, money is tight and about to get tighter with the manufactured SNAP benefits crisis. As such, between now and the end of the month, I'm donating all Cursed Morsels store proceeds to @supplydepotmpls.bsky.social. Buy a book and support unhoused folks: www.cursedmorselspress.com

Writers will still receive royalties as usual. When I say proceeds, I mean all money that would normally go back to the press itself.

this short by @spicycloaca.bsky.social is so vivid and disturbing, all the more so for the assumptions we make about its monster. excellent little bit of horror

after school cult session, u know da vibes

my story about a neverending cosmic apocalypse & those trying to delay it will be in issue #13! excited for y'all to read it and the other stories i'm privileged to share space with 🪐🫀

HOPE (1997) Acrylic on Watercolor Board - 13” x 10” Ammonites have always been meant as a personal form of “memento mori” symbols in my art. They are cautionary reminders of our impermanence. 1/3

sharp house by @spicycloaca.bsky.social over at @nightmare-magazine.com is a horrific, emotional gut punch. Its language is really rich and makes the gore almost beautiful. And the last three lines made me sit back with the amount of anguish it expressed. www.nightmare-magazine.com/fiction/shar...

Today only, The Nightmare Box and Other Stories paperback is $9.99 through our store! I'll also include a free Solidarity Forever zine, edited by @cynthiasaysboo.bsky.social and me. Perfect Halloween read if you like your horror dark, magical, and angry! www.cursedmorselspress.com/product/the-...

It's easy for the cryptkeeper to sit there and moralize. Make his little puns about our transgressions. All he needs to do is take care of his damn crypt. His life is simple

Alito referencing Buck v. Bell - a horrendous eugenics case - to argue that sometimes the medical system is colored by biases & wrong (which is why it should be fine to essentially practice eugenics on queer youth) is monstrous beyond words.

y'all have been giving us a lot to chew on! today is the last day to add to the heap, so if you haven't gotten your submission in, slither on over to your email inbox and do that!

MONDAY. SPITE AS FUEL.

24 hours left before the call for FLESH closes! if you have something gnawing at your braincase and fingertips but haven't submitted it yet, now is the time!
