In this collection of wickedly imaginative dark tales by Vivian Kasley, you’ll discover what sometimes lurks beneath the seemingly ordinary. All that’s left to do now, dear readers, is open the book and watch nightmares come to life. Coming this Halloween!

The next Tempered Tales is long overdue so the next one will be in 2026. The theme? Little Red Riding Hood. I’m still hammering out the details, but I do know the short story word count will be a max of 2500 words. There will be poetry. And. SD doesn’t know yet. Start writing.

Just 10 days until TEENAGE GIRLS CAN BE DEMONS, and I'm excited to share these lovely words from Dawn Kurtagich, author of The Thorns, about the collection 🤩 13 coming-of-rage stories, out from Titan in a little over a week! www.barnesandnoble.com/w/teenage-gi...

The second project I'm in the midst of is an anthology I put together called Women of the Weird West, coming out next year from @brigidsgatepress.bsky.social. The invited stories are excellent, and the open-sub stories (over 250 submissions!!) are really wow'ing me! #scifichat #weirdwest

When you announce there will be no more catnip at the budget meetings.

Love to see total strangers enjoying the arc of my collection! 🖤 Her review is rad! "Let me preface this review by saying that horror is more than gore, slashers and jump scares. Vivian Kasley created old-school horror stories reminiscent
