Book Review: SKIN Skin Kathe Koja Meerkat Press (April 22, 2025) Reviewed by Nora B. Peevy When I sat down to read this book I had no idea the ride I was in for. The only thing I knew was that it was a book from Meerkat Press, it was originally published thirty years ago, and it was body horror.…

I have no idea how long this sale will last but the Halloween deal still seems to be going on.

Just finished @kkoja.bsky.social's DARK PARK, in the dark, and... what a *gift* these books are. Prompted by the pending release of DARK MATTER, I finally stopped sleeping on DARK FACTORY and then *had* to read this. Heartbreaking, but with (the search for) joy at the heart of it all. Stunning.

🎃Happy Halloween. Let's dress up and dance in the dark, let's light it up! ~Ari, Felix, Max, Marfa, Sergey, Bunny, Charmskool, Kathe https://smpl.is/ae2xg #DarkFactory #DarkPark #DarkMatter #immersivestory #immersiveAF #kathekoja @Kathe Koja

Symbols of belief (1): The human need to believe in a god or gods is extremely robust. Our species invented religion to frame that need in ritual & define it with words. Both of these are immaterial & both are important. ~Charmskool https://smpl.is/adxwj @kkoja.bsky.social
