Super stoked to have my weird little story published in @dogthroat.com. They've got some rad stories on there. Y'all should go check them out. Especially The Rapture Machine by Joshua Walker. Talk about gorgeous.

Almost all of my friends are working on it by writing dope books, reading dope books or promoting dope books. Instead of doom articles, let’s support lit critics and make more spaces and energy for reading despite oligarchy’s preference and have fun with it www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

My brilliant, talented friend @mizukiyamagen.bsky.social wrote this gorgeous, poignant, too-timely piece for Flash Flood. Enjoy. “I wonder what I should say to be a good mother. I think of my sister-in-law with Wren’s cousins, holding them close as booming ash threatens from the sky.”

Beyond stoked to have my dark little Appalachian folk horror about trauma and family ties published in @unchartedmag.bsky.social today!! Still pinching myself—hard to believe it’s real. www.unchartedmag.com/stories/sitt...

Melvin is a US Marine Corps Veteran who was stationed at Camp Pendleton. He’s also sounding the alarm about Hegseth’s threat to deploy Marines in LA.

I just want y’all to know I had way too much fun playing around with the HAD formatter. Excited for Tuesday; I’m going to be waiting, laptop open, ready to go at 9:59.

Hey, y’all! I’m Rachel. I’m a horror and grit lit writer living in a kudzu-choked crevice of North Carolina. My stories tend to lean toward the Southern and strange. My current WIP is: The Road meets Sweet Tooth. #HorrorWritersChat

Vengeance is Ours, Saith the Beasts 🍃A granny witch who does a peculiar form of blood magic 🍃A woman scared of who her child is becoming 🍃A boy who is irreparably broken 🍃 An almost serial-killer with questionable morals A weird Appalachian Folk Horror novelette. 11k. #UnhingedPit #Q #H #A

Bones and All AITA? My (8M) granddaddy (65M) went missing a couple months back. The cops gave up on him. Now, everybody thinks he’s dead, but I know he ain’t. You see, bones sing to me and I been down to the riverbank but I ain’t heard his. I think my Mamaw (F64) did something. #UnhingedPit #H #Q

AITA: I(17f) unleashed an ancient curse by refusing to do Osiris's bidding to take a human soul. Now, my rival (17m), suspects my betrayal so I must lie & cheat to save myself & the underworld before the gods find out & execute me. Am I the asshole? #Unhingedpit #YA #F #Q

Gods’ Rift The Handmaid’s Tale x The Walking Dead but it’s a horror fantasy romance with dragons. #UnhingedPit #F #H #A #WIP #SPEC #SeriesPotential

How dare you combine three of my favorite things. This has me highly intrigued.

Okay, this sounds gorgeous!!

LOVE. 😍💀 That playlist is on point.

I filmed a long vid on Insta + TT celebrating 2024 horror books by transmasc authors. Please consider picking these up or spreading the word. I find transmasc authors are seldom included in LGBTQ+ round-ups or are oft-overlooked in discussions of identity in horror. These are worthy of your time.

Hey look @sarlynh.bsky.social — it’s our flash piece! Thank you, NFFR for giving us the opportunity to have our work featured. 😊💚

Goodreads is owned by Amazon & there is an AMAZING alternative‼️ The StoryGraph is a black women-owned competitor to GoodReads with better UI in my opinion. When you sign up you can even transfer your data from Goodreads to StoryGraph!

W: “Mommy look at the picture I drew you!” Me: “I love it! Can you tell me about it?” W: “Well, this is a cat witch named Prissy and she’s going into the dark woods to see her mommy and these are the ghosts following her. They’re not very nice.” Like mother, like daughter. 🤣 #horrorwriting

Looking forward to getting connected to more folks in the writing community. A bit about me: 🍃 I write horror and grit lit primarily. 🍃 Currently working on my first novel. 🍃 I live in North Carolina, rooted in Appalachia. 🍃 I’m a Mama. 💚 🍃 Good music and good words make me ache. #amwriting
