It's my great pleasure to announce the authors and their works selected for "The Best Weird Fiction of the Year, Vol. 2." Thank you to all the writers, editors, and publishers who sent in work for consideration. The print edition is now up for pre-order. undertowpublications.com/shop/best-we...

If your publisher uses AI art, they're bad at their job. Full stop. When a publisher claims they can't afford to invest in your cover art, what they're really saying is that they can't sell your book. /THREAD O'CLOCK

I've waited so long for this day! 🎉

Born on this day in 1955, Happy Birthday, GRIFFIN DUNNE! 🎉

Happy Birthday-versary to us🖤☠️ Grab something Weird and help us celebrate, why don'tcha: store.tenebrouspress.com

Subs will be open June 1-15. We pay $25 per accepted story (1,000-4,000) words + one contributor copy. Check out volumes one and two for a vibe check. Full submission details can be found here: sluggerfiction.com/submit/

the words are supposed to vibrate in your head, right?

I do this because I love it. Because it helps give my life meaning. I hope that if I ever find myself thinking about using AI to do any part of this job, I'll recognize that what really happened is that I lost my love for it and I should find something else that brings me joy.

I loved Portraits of Decay, so this is an insta buy!

Almost finished my first watch of Twin Peaks and love Agent Cooper so much!

#TBRuary Day 18: Long or Short Form. Why not both? THE WEIRD: A COMPENDIUM OF STRANGE AND DARK STORIES Edited by Ann and Jeff VanderMeer This collection of 110 short stories across 1152 pages sits proudly on my Weird fiction shelf, only half read. I need to finish it. #BookSky #ReadingCommunity

I chose torchic as my first ever starter and feel guilty picking anything else.

“I have 30k to make a fully AI film, what’s the plan?” is such an insane sentence.

📣 ACQUISITION ANNOUNCEMENT 📣 WE, THE MISSING by @arwyns.bsky.social coming in 2026! 🖤 People disappear all the time in Caroline’s fading city. Determined to save her addict mother, she’s thrust into a dangerous supernatural world bent on making Caroline vanish forever. Preorder your copy today!

Thanks to Carson Winter and PLM for having me on their podcast to gossip about fairy tales and stuff!

This week we’re talking fairy tales with @ivygrimes.bsky.social! Check out the new DL here: open.spotify.com/episode/3lGx...

It's so funny to me that somehow we've wound up getting H.P. Lovecraft's digital junk mail.

If you’re not terrified of the deep ocean, you should be, especially after watching this. An oil drilling crew awakens ancient creatures and the end gives Lovecraftian vibes. Plus I have a crush on Kristen Stewart so 🤷🏻‍♀️

My story “Mercy” is on the latest episode of The NoSleep Podcast!!! 🎉🥳🖤

Decided it would be fun to round up my writing stats for the year. My 2026 goal is to hit 100 rejections!

Finally wrote my review for @erikmchatton.bsky.social 's Straw World and Other Echoes from the Void. A great weird fiction collection! pierceking.com/2025/11/11/s...

Heck ya! Now I need to also read The Red Tower!

We are almost ready for a full cover reveal of SLUGGER Vol. 1!

Cover reveal! This artist has graced the inner pages of the magazine since the beginning, but the moment we saw this comically unnerving art by @authoriseult.bsky.social we knew it was the perfect way to mark one full year of the mag. Sleep with one eye open and get ready to laugh! #dielaughing

Want podcast daddy's attention? uwu Now's your chance uwu

What a great weekend to finish your story for our Halloween contest! Prize: $50 Word limit: 250 Theme: New origins of Halloween traditions. Entry fee: NONE GL and subs: tinyurl.com/TTTHalloween...

I went on the Dead Languages Podcast and all I got was this creeping sense of unease as the world disintegrates around me! Listen to me chat with PLM and Carson about disorientation in horror, fun ways to collapse reality, and NYC's plague of sexy, sexy rats

Here is a link to Suburban Witchcraft Issue 10 & the written versions of my two new poems published within. Warmest thanks to creator & editor Mirjana M. for curating this beautiful magazine. @suburbanwitchlit.bsky.social www.suburbanwitchcraft.com/issue10 #poems #arts #autumnpoetry #poetrylovers

I think if a poetry journal sticks an AI slop image onto your poem when they publish it online, they should refund the reading fee you probably had to pay them.

Are you looking for the kind of horror that leaves you staring at the wall? Well I have just the book for you!! 👀

With the Haunting of Hill House being one of my favorite books, I would love to write something like that with Shirley Jackson. Not necessarily a haunted house, but some weird quiet horror! #HorrorWritersChat

Since traveling through time would be an unknown journey, pretty much anything that could go wrong through the actual traveling. Maybe some entity lives along the "road" used for time travel or it could inflict alien biology onto the traveler. #Horrorwriterschat

Probably the 20s and 30s. I just love the weird pulp vibes of the time plus the lack of modern day technology. #Horrorwriterschat

I'm Pierce, from VA. I don't know if I could say any historical writer is my doppelganger, but I LOVE Shirley Jackson and Ray Bradbury!

@erikmchatton.bsky.social's his debut collection is out tomorrow and I think it's going to blow some serious minds. @authorplm.bsky.social is hosting a release party on Friday, join up for a reading, giveaway, and interview! www.eventbrite.com/e/the-echoes...

Look, none of us want to order from the 'Zon. That's why I made the ebook of my weird horror collection PORTRAITS OF DECAY available on my website. It's $9.99 and just about every cent goes to the author. If you're into that sort of thing, grab it here: carsonwinter.com/product/port...

Spooky Season is in the air! Give me all of it!
