*checks watch* It’s time to preorder THE FINAL CHRONICLE OF YENEH (a standalone sci-fi yarn by @jomiles.bsky.social) because Future You in July is super cool and deserves a gift from Current You, who is also turbo rad. Available everywhere, but you get a discount and goodies if you order from us!

Black Forest cake! (We don’t need an ARC but we couldn’t resist a chance to holler about cake, and also we want you know about this so you can shout about cake and maybe get an ARC of A DUBIOUS CLAMOR. Hey: CAKE.)

Working on postcards to send to my preorderers! It's nice, even meditative. You can get one of these beauties with a handwritten note from ME (plus other fun stuff) if you preorder The Final Chronicle of Yeneh direct from the publisher @hornedlarkpress.com: hornedlarkpress.com/product/the-...

Our editorial assistant, Levi, not only talks about our books on our Instagram & TikTok, but other books as well—check out their series on stories featuring robots w/ feelings! We told them to geek out on books & they ran with it. Here they speak of A DUBIOUS CLAMOR by @marissalingen.bsky.social.

Coyote Run was great. Eager for more.

"If you want a refreshing, pulse-pounding, fast read that still has plenty of meat on its bones, in a future Weird West plot packed with fash-fighting, you can’t do better than Lilith Saintcrow’s novella Coyote Run..." - from my review: skiffyandfanty.com/blog/book-re...

We love how the astronauts are smiling here, as opposed to their recent visit to the fascist in the south who keeps cutting funding for space exploration

@bookjockeyalex.bsky.social Hi Alex, might we be able to send you ARCs of THE FINAL CHRONICLE OF YENEH and A DUBIOUS CLAMOR, which are spiffy novellas we have coming out soon?

Today is a good day to read a book from a small Antifascist press. How’s about COYOTE RUN by @lilithsaintcrow.com? Or preorder THE FINAL CHRONICLE OF YENEH by @jomiles.bsky.social or A DUBIOUS CLAMOR by @marissalingen.bsky.social. Imagining the defeat of authoritarians is good for you.

A few days ago we mentioned our editorial assistant has been doing some bookish videos on TikTok but they are on Instagram too! And we are the same handle there if you’d like to check it out: @hornedlarkpress

This is true. We can hook you up. Try OBERON’S BATHTIME STORIES or THE GREAT BIG BEAR. Copied from us come signed but they’re available everywhere and the audio is narrated by Luke Daniels!

When you preorder A DUBIOUS CLAMOR by @marissalingen.bsky.social from us, you get: •$5 off an awesome story •two stickers •a bookmark •a chance to win a harpy eagle plushie Tea and fresh-baked chocolate chip cookies are not included, alas! hornedlarkpress.com/product/a-du...

So hey, don’t know if any of y’all are on TikTok, but we are there! Our editorial assistant, Levi, is making some videos you might enjoy, so please give us a follow!

Just so you know, I called A DUBIOUS CLAMOR: “An exquisite delight: a perfect balance of sharp edges, society manners, and cake.” And I stand by that! It also has outstanding musical details (like the cover) and wings (also like the cover!) and ornery women and opinionated cutlery. You want it!

For the evenin’ peeps: We are turbo excited about this and hope you’ll preorder somewhere! Because small anti-authoritarian presses are adorable and good for you

I love how this cover challenges the eyes. It just takes a second to fix how you read it, but that tickle of your neurons is in such harmony with how @marissalingen.bsky.social's fiction works. I'm excited to read this book.

Don't miss the next Horned Look Press book, by the incredible Marissa Lingen! I'm 1/4 of the way through my ARC and already immersed in whimsy, cutting sarcasm and serious concern for several characters, including a sword. Go preorder this!

That's right, it's MY COVERRRR! LOOK at how pretty! ADMIRE the deep bluey green color, an ornament to all shelves! MARVEL at how Matt Curtius managed to evoke my story, which does in fact include a lot of music and also harpies! PREORDER today! or, you know, a different day soon!

COVER REVEAL: Behold A DUBIOUS CLAMOR by @marissalingen.bsky.social! Art by Matt Curtius because we never use AI! You can preorder this wonderful story now everywhere, but if you order direct from us you get stickers and other goodies! Out September 15! hornedlarkpress.com/product/a-du...

We are looking for librarians who’d like a review copy of our upcoming releases! Are ye out there (or do you know a librarian who’d like one)?

Another great book out today! If you need a cozy escape, this book is PERFECT.

Not even close to the worst thing going on right now, but the sheer amount of spam scams being aided by AI isn’t talked about enough. It’s not only a drain on people victimized by the scams, but a tremendous drain on the productivity of everyone who has to wade through it. AI is a blight.

Do you have a short, weekend holiday? Bring a book of short stories! @kevinhearne.bsky.social @booksky.bsky.social @hornedlarkpress.com

We are a small press but don’t use AI for anything and never will. We hire artists for our covers and our editorial staff uses their brains. There is no world in which we would outsource art to a plagiarism machine that enriches billionaires and also doesn’t work.

Preorder anywhere, of course, but we have a deal if you preorder directly from us: $3 off, a thank-you postcard from the author @jomiles.bsky.social, and a sticker! (This is a standalone, by the way, not part of a series!) hornedlarkpress.com/product/the-...

This is exactly what needs to happen: Consequences for crimes, corruption, and abuse. If there are no consequences the authoritarians will just come back and be worse. For examples, see history. In the U.S., it began with pardoning Nixon, then no penalties for Reagan, Bush, or ew, the current guy.

We congratulate the people of Hungary for throwing out the fascists. We hope other countries in the grips of authoritarians will soon follow suit.

Blessed are they who preorder So glad these are arriving and folks are enjoying!

Come on then, and remove him.

There are some jabronis out there claiming all writers use AI. That’s horseshit. Our writers, editors, and artists do not, nor will we ever. Stories for humans should be written by humans, not a slop machine of stolen ideas.
