Now Reading 📖 “Arthur, The Always King” by Kevin Crossley-Holland. Illustrated by Chris Riddell.

Just started a new short story draft. It’s a science fiction story I’ve wanted to write for a while, inspired by the cosmic perspective. Tonight I decided to give it a try. Four paragraphs in, I experienced the joy of finding my first sentence. Now, to see where the story takes me. ✍🏻

A Very Tenebrous 2025. The finest stories are being written in the cryptic, concealed corners that no one ever thinks to look into. It's our mission to find them. We can safely say we lived up to our promise this year: NEW WEIRD HORROR + MORE🖤☠️ Read something Weird: store.tenebrouspress.com

I’ve had fun with my anthologies. The 1st was WWI, a commercial topic to get things going. The 2nd is the Scientific Rev, which isn’t commercial. Hitting ignored eras is the real point of these, so we’ll see how it goes. If it makes its money back, we’ll go ancient with the 3rd.
