We have 12 days to go on our crowdfund for WHAT ELEGANT STARS and still need to raise about $7k. We've just added a reward "add-on" for a short story critique with editor dave ring if that would be of interest. We also still have two Benefactor Rewards at $1k that would be incredibly impactful.

Today's morning ramble was around Old Oswestry Iron Age hill fort. Set a bit lower than some of those we've tramped around but still a good hike. Very muddy so couldn't explore all the levels. Will be going back. (Oswestry is town in Shropshire not far from England/Wales border.)

Firebird Book Award and Independent Press Award winner. THE MONSTERS AMONG US is cinematic dark fantasy novel brimming with twists, tension, and high stakes. Unapologetically neurodivergent. Ruthlessly anti-authoritarian. Fully unique and thought provoking.

Got a wonderfully insightful review over on Gingernuts of Horror! “If the idea of a psychological, structurally ambitious, genre-blending story intrigues you, if you’re the type who craves a why behind the ghost that’s smarter than a murderer, this house is waiting.”

The horse is placed so centrally in folklore because our relationship to it has always been a defining cultural feature. Its ghosts are many. They pull spectral corpse carts, are steeds in phantom battles. A network of invisible clip-clopping down a thousand lanes. – Dr. M. Benn

I've taken the paywall off this eulogy I wrote for my magical, mysterious ex-stray cat George - who died last year - in case anybody would like a read. It was very, very hard to write but I think it might be my favourite thing I’ve ever written about cats.

The smell of death's ripe. My father, a skeleton on the bed as if he's already gone. Buzzards wait, they smell it. "Natures clean-up crew," mom always said. I hear them, impatient talons scraping the roof shingles. A death rattle rings and a frenzied chorus of hunger surrounds us.

The first thing to go was the wallpaper. One day there had been forest green and gold curlicues, the next only white walls. Now, a soft shadow of sadness hung over the place where the dining room used to be. The slates flew from the roof, and the birds outside stopped singing.

Cancer of the esophagus. A grand name. Architectural. In her house, it arrived as a cast iron, ornamental spiral staircase which corkscrewed upwards through two floors. But only when it started to rotate, like a barbershop Blood & Bandages, did she know it had some kind of life.
