my slate is clear! hit me up!

SURVIVAL HORROR IN THE ALPS FFS! No AI slop in my game... For your consideration: Mundaun - a lovingly hand-pencilled horror tale. It's at 93% positive on Steam. It's on a steep sale right now. All human made. Sound. Voice acting in a language I don't even speak! BUY IT -> SUPPORT HUMAN (me)

Need a novel for the weekend? Something entertaining with a creepy edge to it? Download a sample of IF YOU KNEW ME and if you want to keep reading when you reach the end, buy the book. Happy reading!

For the evening crowd: Smoke Season, the new novel from Carrie-Edmund Laben, drops in June. “Smoke Season will challenge your notions of what Weird and political fiction can achieve.” —Paul Tremblay Cover art and design by Matthew Revert Preorder your copy at: wordhorde.com/product/ss-b...

This looks to be a very cool and idiosyncratic horror video game. Love the visuals. Over 90% funded, 5 days left to get it across the finish line. Thanks @slimyswampghost.bsky.social for reporting and bringing it to my attention.

Sundays seem like a good day to reiterate this position. #NoKingsButBrodyKing #FuckICE #AEW

If you haven’t read SHE SAID DESTROY, give it a go. It is so so good.

Seems pretty trivial given everything else going on right now, but a quick notice to say all Dim Shores e-books are now free until further notice. Just ask and I will send you a ZIP file with all four anthologies released to date, no DRM.

While independent bookstores are giving out free whistles, hosting protest sign making events, and donating proceeds to mutual aid, Amazon is *checks notes* providing technology that assists ICE in their terrorizing of communities. Independent bookstores deserve your support. Amazon does not.

I backed this and really want it to happen. About 85% there, less than 3 days left. Please check it out!

If you're living somewhere outside the USA, one thing you can do is pressure your leaders to boycott World Cup and Olympic events here.

Normal cops in the US are violent enforcers of racist capital, but with a layer of regulation imposed by popular struggles. ICE are outright brownshirt ethnic cleansers. This is fascism: normal capitalist barbarism ramped up to 11. This is reaction: any legal hindrance to their power is oppression.

genuinely stunning image

Solidarity with everyone striking today! The world can be a beautiful place when we all stand together against racist, fascist terror. We're gonna win this thing, y'all. Much love from Minneapolis. ❤️

This is odd… Since Monday I have received 6 orders through the web store -- all 6 have the same physical address in NYC and are for the same $1 e-book. Orders have different nondescript names with similar email address format, like Jon Doe - [email protected], Jane Doe - [email protected], etc.

It's a minor point at this stage, but as a rhetorical curiosity it should be clear to even the most charitable observer that all, *all*, of Republican commitment to the principle of 'State's Rights' was just racism.

From a good friend in Minneapolis: "Target is allowing ICE to stage in their parking lots, use their restrooms, and abduct people from inside their stores - so if you weren’t boycotting already, now is the time." They were staging in Chicago as well.

Happy MLK Day!

Teri is good people, and could really use a hand. If you are able, please consider sending some $ her way. #MutualAid

Informative thread with sources for all data. Like most of you, I assumed this to be the case but seeing it quantified and graphed still hits hard. A fairly quick read, definitely worth your time.

Dr. @chesyaburke.bsky.social and I are editing an anthology surveying the evolution of Black literary horror. Tentatively titled Black Horror, Then & Next: We Have Always Dreamed in Darkness (FlameTree Press), here are the guidelines… blog.flametreepublishing.com/fantasy-goth...

I checked out the link and it's legit. If you need help, this could be a good place to start. via White Rose Resistance

Here is sweet tripod girl Ripley, hard at work in what is usually Sia’s cat bed on my desk. Happy #caturday. Abolish ICE.

Finished this collection and enjoyed it quite a bit. Every story's a little different but mostly in the Weird vein, sci-fi like I Have No Mouth But I Must Screams, some gothic and quiet, and others straight speculative fiction. 1/?

there is no reason for ICE to exist. immigrants aren’t doing anything wrong by trying to live and work and provide for their loved ones. I don’t care how people got here. if they want to be here that’s good. leave them alone.

70+ free printable "How to Report ICE" zines with info on the SALUTE protocol and local hotline numbers for all over the country! Including some in Spanish! There is an info sheet on how to fold and cut the zines and a form to request a zine for your area. drive.google.com/drive/folder...

May we scrape together whatever justice is possible and may this pig never have access to free society again.

Violent paramilitary organizations are shooting civilians in the face in Minneapolis and we're just supposed to sit here doing our jobs?

The Minnesota police should arrest the shooter and force a confrontation with the feds. Enough. Enough.

If banning conversion therapy for all people would make your religion 'illegal' then your religion deserves to be illegal.

As of this morning 4,500 Starbucks workers are on strike. Don’t cross their picket line. No Starbucks. NO Starbucks gift cards!

Every trans person--including every trans child--deserves the chance to be fully themselves. I'm so sick of seeing trans folks harmed repeatedly and unrelentingly, against all reason and scientific precedent. To my trans friends--I'm so sorry the world keeps trying to dim your light.

Trans rights are human rights and it's not negotiable, you fucks

We're reopening to submissions on January 1st. Writers, ready your most depressing, unnerving, dislocating, horrible stories.

A good project from a good non-profit. Please consider helping out if you can.
