Read a short story by @saratantlinger.bsky.social today. Threads of Epiphany. It made my little Pagan heart happy to watch Minna see that the Old Spirits are what we've made them after newer religions who come along and destroy what came before. And it's gruesome. That's great too.

Just finished spending a few days at the beach with Bill. Plenty of long walks, gorgeous sunsets and star gazing all while enjoying this beautiful story collection by @saratantlinger.bsky.social . 🧡 With @billbush.bsky.social

This is an excellent, but bleak and disturbing, story. That horror business in our subheading? We really mean it.

“In the daylight, I pretend nothing can hurt me, but we both know that has never been true.” Cyanide Constellations, by Sara Tantlinger Narrator: Tanja Milojevic Host: Alasdair Stuart Audio Producer: Graeme Dunlop pseudopod.org/2025/12/19/p... CW: suicide, 2nd person POV

I'm so thrilled to have my work make its first appearance on @pseudopod.org! Thank you Tanja Milojevic for this gorgeous narration of "Cyanide Constellations" 💚✨

Publishers Weekly is still doubling down on this awful AI workshop. Keep the emails and the comments coming. Make sure they know how much we're all against this.

It's that time... consider submitting to the Queer Horror Conference 2026 ! The call for papers is up now--it was so fun and generative last year, I would love to see all of you here this year! The conference is completely virtual, Feb 5-8th 2026 ♡ www.queerhorrorconference.com/call-for-pap...

Another solid collection of holiday horror stories in this anthology. Tie for the finest story: “Father’s Last Christmas” by Lee Murray @leemurraywriter.bsky.social "Threads of Epiphany" by Sara Tantlinger @saratantlinger.bsky.social 1/3

Some of the best movies ever made were by Rob Reiner. They made us laugh and think: The Princess Bride, When Harry Met Sally, A Few Good Men. And he was a force on screen as well in All in the Family and so many films. What a tragic loss. Words fail with news like this.

I have to sit down for this one. Literary titan @tananarivedue.bsky.social has recommended THE CURSE OF HESTER GARDENS in @peoplemag.bsky.social. I'm stunned and honored. Link to her full quote in comments. Preorder link in comments. @erewhonbooks.bsky.social @kensingtonbooks.bsky.social
