Yes, The Best Weird Fiction of the Year, Vol. 2 has a new cover. The first iteration was fine, but the art had been used on several books already. I am way behind on this. Still reading. Hope to have a ToC by July and publication in October/November.

I'm enjoying the collection Salt Slow by Julia Armfield. Especially The Great Awake read on a night with insomnia. What are you reading?

We're revisiting our back catalogue and the ONLY original novel we've published—M. Rickert's "The Shipbuilder of Bellfairie." This exquisite mystery is an amalgam of Frankenstein, and A Confederacy of Dunces. We want you to read it. The eBook is on sale for just $2.

Hey! I'm doing a small Uncertain Sons event at North Fig Bookshop next month. Brian Evenson will be there, which is wild and very nice of him! I think there will be tacos. Maybe we'll talk about Wolfe and weird horror. If you live in LA stop by. Will be chill and mainly my cousins. 9/20, 7 pm.

Wild that people spend a little money to buy books written by obscure authors published by a small press based out of some guy’s house and then they get the books in the mail one day and read them and like them and in many cases go back to the website and order more books.

If you can, vote for
@undertow.bsky.social
for Best Periodical. Publisher Michael Kelly is IMHO Canada's preeminent weird-fic publisher. Arguably, producing great stuff equal to Weird Tales, yet with a greater lierary bent.
