This evening’s escape from reality brought to us by Edwin Callihan and @filthyloot.bsky.social . Small town dirt bags, over-the-top violence, and pervasive entropic decay by cosmic forces beyond mortal ken are absolutely my jam!

Using my dog to sell zines. How low will I go?

Fleischerei - by Saoirse Ni Chiaragain Published by @filthyloot.bsky.social This one’s great. Body horror, cannibalism, and a twisted love story, with Berlin as the backdrop. Seek this one out.

It's cool reading books published by friends, featuring stories by friends . Ya friends AND a load of other fantastic writers . @filthyloot.bsky.social @charleneelsby.bsky.social @xaviergarcia.bsky.social @dangerslater.bsky.social @lcvonhessen.bsky.social

Wednesday at @strangehorizons.bsky.social brings @subham6.bsky.social on Ira Rat’s new volume of hauntological horror from @filthyloot.bsky.social. “In the broader landscape of contemporary extreme horror—where shock often substitutes for substance—New Meat in a Clean Room stands apart.”

☠️ WE OUT HERE ☠️

I'm trying to use Blue Sky more. If I haven't followed you back, feel free to let me know here or elsewhere. I just get a titch overwhelmed every time I get on here, as 99.9% of it are people I'm not following and things I'm not interested in. So I'm trying to to fix that...

There are many reasons books come out a little off*, and I would not feel right selling them at full price. That's why for a limited time our crooked covers and bent corners can be yours for only $3. Link at the top of the Filthy Loot page. SHARE! PA-LEEEEZE! * mostly corporate sabotage. 🤫

Fleischerei available now from @filthyloot.bsky.social

Release the Horse - by @matthewmitchell.bsky.social Published by @filthyloot.bsky.social This is a killer collection. Ozarkian horror exploring the darkest corners of American rot. Favorites include Muscular Devotion, Little Man, and The Band. Seek this one out.

Anthology sale! $10 on filthyloot.com

Today’s book mail @filthyloot.bsky.social @tenebrouspress.bsky.social

Sent out multiple Filthy Loot orders today with 6+ books. Are people actually buying these books for presents? What's wrong with you?

Me: Hey... what’ve you been reading lately? HA, no, I’m not going to read it. All my time is dedicated to reading submissions & conducting market research. This is merely the latter, while also covering the small talk I’m obligated to engage in as a functioning member of society.

Ira at @filthyloot.bsky.social puts out some of the nicest looking books we've seen and follows no muse but his own Weird one: filthyloot.com

“Wondrously weird and utterly familiar and of a world that’s doomed.” 🕳️ RELEASE THE HORSE, Matthew Mitchell’s debut horror collection, is out now via @filthyloot.bsky.social Only fitting to have our fave horror king Andy Davidson review the goodz 🖤 southwestreview.com/if-you-care-...

Staying in Austin for a couple of days next week, any suggestions? My list is already pretty long, but you never know!

new @filthyloot.bsky.social haul arrived just in time for halloween, hell yeah

Another for the collection has arrived. @filthyloot.bsky.social is putting out great little books! I'll need a shelf just for @horrorsong.blog stories at this point.

Featuring poems and short stories by Kate Durbin, Brian Alan Ellis, Shane Jesse Christmass, Alex Osman, Garth Miró, Charlene Elsby, Maggie Von Sacher, Robbie Coburn and photographs by Alex Osman and cover photo by David Catalano. 🥰

can't think of a more delicious combination of words and authors

It's my (Eric Raglin's) 33rd birthday today, which means everyone is legally obligated to snag a Cursed Morsels book. Treat yourself to a little horror and Weird fiction! www.cursedmorselspress.com

jesus wept // @horrorsong.blog & @sammytotep.bsky.social of @weirdpunkbooks.bsky.social @ @voidcon.bsky.social

Our latest anthology, New Meat in a Clean Room, blends existentialism, transgressive fiction, and body horror— see: BodyPunk (BAH-dee-puhngk)—with post-punk, hauntological, and industrial vibes. Featuring Joe Koch, Edwin Callihan, Sam Richard, Charlene Elsby, Justin Lutz, and Brendan Vidito.

We don’t often dive into extreme horror, but if you like your horror a little F—d up—but still has something to say —Jon Steffens is absolutely your man. He was also the first author to ever trust me with their novella, so either way you feel about Filthy Loot, you have him to blame.

I've been driving for about 45 hours since Wednesday, but I'm now home, safe, and back at work. Had a bunch of fun at @voidcon.bsky.social It was nice meeting everyone and seeing friends. Now buy something so I can chip away at the debt from buying other people's books. 💔

Hitting the road soon for @voidcon.bsky.social! I’ve been tabling for about three years now, and it still doesn’t feel like I’ve perfected what to bring. People who've been tabling longer, any things/tricks that have made your life easier?

#booksky #horrorsky #arcreview #📚🩸 #💙 #newmeat NEW MEAT IN A CLEAN ROOM 5💀s Yet another book from @filthyloot.bsky.social I can recommend to people if they want to get a taste of the talents of these respective authors . When things get Weird, the Weird write stories like these .

Read @justinlutz.bsky.social Gone to Seed that @filthyloot.bsky.social put out, shout out Ira, and I had such a blast with this! The trigger control with these stories is wild. I felt frozen in place, in the fucking thick of it, then pop, the shit goes down at exact time it needs to for max effect

DM us—we’re starting a store list on our page. The #1 question we get is “Does any store in ______ have copies?” and right now our answer is usually just awkward silence. Also, if you’re a shop interested in carrying us…please send us a message.

I'll be appearing in public and selling books like a champ this weekend even though I'm not sure why I exist, welcome to the duality of man

I should start looking for places to stretch my legs on the way to @voidcon.bsky.social. I'm driving through: Champaign, IL Indianapolis, IN Dayton/Columbus, OH I'm not overly familiar with any of these cities. Any suggestions for anything horror-related? Also, books, museums, etc? TY

Haven't felt the need to post much recently. Pausing one project bc the voice is wrong and I need to recenter. Still working on other projects. Have some news I'll share at some point when I'm greenlit to do so. In the meantime, I'll be at One of Us @filthyloot.bsky.social in a couple weeks 🤘💜💀
