I was surprised by how much I enjoyed THE LONG WALK. I've never read the book, but the movie was harrowing and brutal, with beautiful moments of humanity. Great performances throughout.

Episode 5 of Cosmic Goblins is out now, this week we're featuring "Tournament in Frow" by Rik Hoskin! Check it out here: https://bit.ly/4msnye7

I think we need to make Halloween gift-giving a thing. If you need any ideas... https://bit.ly/3WmVbRP

The new issue has been out for a couple weeks now—tell us your favorite stories!

I didn't think I'd like it, as I was lukewarm on TALK TO ME, but BRING HER BACK was pretty great. Incredible performance from Sally Hawkins that was both terrifying and sad. A tense, suspenseful occult horror flick with some gruesome imagery.

Patreon-exclusive story "All the Labyrinths" by Danai Christopoulou is up now! Check out our Patreon here: https://bit.ly/3jntREZ

The third episode of Cosmic Goblins features "Beyond Those Shadowed Hills" by M. Shedric Simpson, narrated by our own Alex Wolfgang! https://bit.ly/4lIfVQc

I just read THE BIG ONE by CHM alum Patrick Barb and thought it was a very entertaining romp that combined Old Ones with what was essentially a disaster movie plot. Keep your eyes peeled for this one. Any indie horror books you dug recently?

This ought to be good!

My CHM story, "As Much As I Please," is one of my proudest stories to date. I envisioned it for almost a year before finally putting words to paper. I really hope you all love it.

We've got a lot of fine looking issues in our webstore if you're ever looking to complete your collection... https://bit.ly/3XqciCs

Open up the crypt and read "The Siren" by Tarleton Collier on our website: https://bit.ly/3HNObvP

COVER REVEAL! Issue 63 features a cover by Trevin Wyant and stories from LC von Hessen, Jonathan Gensler, Anne Wilkins, Xochilt Avila, and more!

I can already tell this movie is going to be divisive with some folks, but I wound up loving it. WEAPONS is a structurally refreshing horror flick with some great performances, and an unsettling villain. Anyone else dig this one?

Obligatory: not cosmic horror or weird fiction, but I really enjoyed this recently. Total pageturner of a thriller that gets surprisingly nasty. What have you been reading lately?

Looking for the new issue? You can grab a copy on the CHM store right here: https://bit.ly/4l6fOxT

Did you know that two of the CHM team wrote a book together? Jolie Toomajan and Carson Winter teamed up to write an absolutely deranged haunted house mosaic novel called POSTHASTE MANOR. Check it out over at Tenebrous Press: https://bit.ly/41CQpEY

Happy Monday! Make it a little weirder with "Interrogatus" by Erik McHatton. Read it here for free: https://bit.ly/45z3T5O

Let's give some love to new releases. What's the best horror book you've read that came out in 2025? These aren't out yet, but Straw World by Erik McHatton and Shoot Me in the Face on a Beautiful Day by Emma E. Murray would definitely be on my list.

It's the middle of the week, time to read some short horror (this is also true for the beginning and end of the week, as well). Check out "The Spare, The Bait, The Sea" by Malda Marlys right here: https://bit.ly/4ovUrca

Here and in the flesh! Get issue #62: https://bit.ly/4l6fOxT

We had a slight rebrand of the podcast—now presenting Cosmic Goblins! On the latest episode, we have "Bugmen and Proud of It!" by Timaeus Bloom https://bit.ly/4mfySv0

Really enjoyed reading THINGS WE LOST IN THE FIRE by Mariana Enriquez this week. Dark, literary in the gothic tradition, with touches of the supernatural and cosmic. Highly recommended for fans of Jacksonian quiet horror.

What's your favorite use of a Lovecraft god or artifact outside of Lovecraft's oeuvre? For me, it's hard to beat the Necronomicon in Evil Dead.

If you ask our editor, Jolie Toomajan, Mary Elizabeth Counselman was "a complex, problematic yet fascinating character who lived the dream of writing on her own steamboat which she filled with cats." We have her story "The Black Stone Statue" free here: https://bit.ly/3HfWLDe

Some new horror flicks are on the horizon! Anyone going to see WEAPONS or TOGETHER?

A little late this month on the COVER REVEAL, but better late than never! Thanks to Helge C. Balzer for the fantastic art.

What's your latest read? I've been enjoying Patrick Barb's NIGHT OF THE WITCH-HUNTER. Super fast-paced, fun, pulpy goodness. Like a novelization of a long lost direct to video 90s slasher.
