Time to bring out the Krampus and Percht tonight ❄️ While often seen as one Perchten and Krampus are actually two different folklore beings #art #artwork #krampus

@thedeadlands.com got 177 fiction submissions in 24 hours. This is 7.5 years of fiction at the rate we publish. Imagine if every submitter were also a patron—we would be funded. Prices increase in 2026, get the best rate now. www.patreon.com/the_deadlands

BCS Patreon has fallen below the monthly amount we need to pay our authors a pro rate and our First Readers a worthy honorarium ($125/mo). Sometimes folks need to lower or pause their support; we understand. But less than 1% of BCS readership donates or supports. www.patreon.com/beneath_ceas... 1/3

@thedeadlands.com is open to fiction and poetry subs, so hop right on that, yeah?

Yay! After a very long time I have published a short story! And you can read it for free at Swords and Sorcery Magazine right now!!! The November issue is out and mine is one of four new stories available for your reading pleasure! Please have a look.

It is Freddie Mercury's birthday! Come read "True in His Fashion," wherein Mercury has a vampire handle his fashion choices. (They call it fiction, but eh....) www.3lobedmag.com/issue31/3lbe...

Call of the Night zine cover 2022

The marriage of sword and sorcery with the atmosphere and trappings of Samhain and Halloween is a strong one, and makes this book a compelling read.

Contract returned, I am very pleased to announce that my story "The Great King's Lost Bride," will appear in a future issue of @bcsmagazine.bsky.social It's a tale of classical adventure following a young man in the Sacred Band of Thebes, a sequel to my prior BCS story, "Nemesis and the Sorcerer."

Be damned if I refer to posts as skeets

A poem of mine is out today in Eye to the Telescope's cyberpunk issue. The poem's an ode to the municipal maintenance work I grew up with. It's called Morning; 37° eyetothetelescope.com/archives/058...

I'm currently still open for pieces like this :)

Absolute masterclass from Fehervari here on why it can be better to avoid relying on tabletop names in the books. My head tells me this is probably a Vespid Stingwing, but the sense of vagueness and uncertainty adds so much to this scene. -from Fire Caste #Warhammer #BookSky #BlackLibrary

A hill I will die on is that Borges' "The Book of Sand" is one of the best examples of cosmic horror in print, to date. Borges does more with five pages than I could do with fifty. If you haven't read it, you should do yourself a favour and do so.
