Might be the greatest opening paragraph of anything ever.

When it happens…may it be soon enough for Stephen King to dance on the grave, pumping a blue chambray workshirted arm in the air and screaming, “YEEEAAAGGHHHH, MOTHERFUUUUUCCCCKKAAA.” That is all.

Holy shit, I guess y'all will have to continue waiting forever for the official From Beyond Press tiktok channel. This is fucking grim.

I enjoyed watching this dude. He got me pretty fired up. bsky.app/profile/stat...

Did you catch the episode of BOOKED featuring 2025 SSBA winner in horror, @rabusby.bsky.social? The episode is available now on the BOOKED YouTube channel! Listen to her conversation with Saffron via the link.

Great interview with Saffron Asteria of BOOKED! We talk about publishing, awesome indie fiction, and of course, horrible things you can find growing on (or in) your body. 😆 podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/b...

Wow! My story “Ten Thousand Crawling Children” was included in Ellen Datlow’s recommended works for Best of Horror no. 17! I am so thrilled! Thanks to Ellen Datlow and @wnwagner.bsky.social for liking my weird spider story!! ellendatlow.com/category/news/

Okay, I am genuinely thrilled to be on @stephenkingcast.bsky.social ‘s follow list. I’ve listened to so many of Constantly Reader’s podcasts (and loved the ones with the sweet doggo in the background). Looking forward to hearing more in the new year!

The next interview we want to highlight is between @specawards.bsky.social Founder @lnholmeswriter.bsky.social and SSBA 2025 Horror Winner @rabusby.bsky.social. Read about the hedgehog on the cover, mushroom research rabbit holes, and the important, true story that inspired the book.

How cool! Got interviewed by L.N. Holmes about my weird mushroom book You Will Speak for the Dead (Stelliform Press). We talk about hoarding, fungus, death, and lighter-stealing ferrets, so give it a look! lnholmeswriter.wordpress.com/2025/12/18/a... @stelliformpress

The winner in the horror category for the 2025 Small Spec Book Awards is YOU WILL SPEAK FOR THE DEAD by @rabusby.bsky.social (@stelliform.press)! #SSBA #SSBA2025

Aaah!! Omg, I am so honored! Thank you so much, and thank you to @stelliform.press for all their support!!

And OF COURSE those “croissants” look like they came out of a paper tube.

¿Queréis una historia que os sacuda hasta la médula? Pues no se hable más: id corriendo a leer «Diez mil niñas que se arrastran», de R. A. Busby. Estamos segures de que os dejará los pelos como escarpias 🕷️ www.patreon.com/posts/diez-m... #terror #leoautorasoct @rabusby.bsky.social

To be fair, anything has to be better than the Branagh version. Naked Jello wrestling with Robert DeNiro was definitely not on my movie wish list.

EVERY SINGLE HIGH SCHOOL TRACK TEAM DOES THIS ALL THE TIME. Six fuckin’ laps. Pathetic.

Commit it to memory. This is the way ⬇️

Every time I see one of those videos, I’m wondering what will happen when someone just says “Fk it,” and starts retaliating.

You Will Speak for the Dead by R.A. Busby is a fabulous #Horror novella that makes you question how your collective accumulation leaves a mark on the world. #SSBA2025 semifinals. #BookSky 💙📚 @stelliform.press @rabusby.bsky.social @specawards.bsky.social www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

Semifinalists for HORROR (cont) TERROR AT TIERRA DE COBRE by @mmerriam.bsky.social at @qospress.bsky.social RESISTERS by @chriscampeau.bsky.social at @tonyanuci.bsky.social YOU WILL SPEAK FOR THE DEAD by @rabusby.bsky.social at @stelliform.press

First, there’s no legal basis for this. Second, a “Real ID” is sufficient for air travel because it requires extra documentation to obtain. Third and again, there’s no legal basis for this. Fourth and most important, this is the “papers please” stage of fascism and the biggest possible red flag.

Not me, being SO THRILLED to get listed in @sadiehartmann.bsky.social ‘s new book Feral and Hysterical for You Will Speak for the Dead! omg omg omg! 😆 So many thanks to @stelliform.press for publishing my weird fungus book!!

Let me repeat it! 👇🏼👇🏽👇🏾👇🏼👇🏽

I want to like Chapelwaite. I really do, but for fuck’s sake, DO YOUR RESEARCH. This show is set around 1850. Here’s what people didn’t do or say: 1. They didn’t go in costume for trick-or-treating (episode 2). 2. They didn’t use “pitch” to mean “sales pitch” until 1943 (episode 2). 3. They also…

Congratulations to @lyndseycroal.bsky.social & M.Shaw; each are nominated for Best Novelette in the 2024 @sjacksonawards.bsky.social! We're so proud of both of these Weird stories & their authors; hails to the judges, the awards board, & to the visionary author herself, who inspired us all🖤☠️

Wooooot!!! Huge congratulations to the winners of the Bram Stoker Awards—an incredibly talented group of writers!

Queer horror? Check! Fun film discussion? Check! True love for the Chucky franchise? Check!! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/w...

LOVE the Monster She Wrote Podcast!! Thank you for having me on to talk about all things weirdly horrific. 😄 podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

Imagine if it were two women behaving like this.

like COME ON "Donald Trump and Elon Musk worked to steal your health insurance and give themselves huge tax cuts, and the only thing that came between them wasn't about what happened to you--they just fought about who should get a larger share."

Know your rights, please. immigrantjustice.org/for-immigran...

😆😆😆

Oooh, coool! Glad to see this great conversation with the brilliant folks at Monster She Wrote get a rebroadcast!! What a great podcast for everything about women in horror! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

Happy Mother’s Day. 😳 *Seriously, though, read the content warnings. www.nightmare-magazine.com/fiction/ten-...

I didn’t realise this was satire at first, legit assumed Hesgeth had been on the fire water again.

I am the person I am because I grew up watching Mr. Rogers, Reading Rainbow, 3-2-1 Contact, and Sesame Street. It taught me the importance of diversity, empathy, community, and neighborly love. Please support! It's $7 a month www.pbs.org/about/about-... Trump hates goodness & PBS + NPR

Wish we were there with them, but 5 Stelliform authors gathered in LA for an evening of hopeful stories hosted by Reckoning, Solarpunk Mag, The Fabulist, and ARLA. Dazzling the audience with visions of the future were Syr Beker, E.G. Condé, Sarena Ulibarri, Cynthia Zhang, & Michael J. DeLuca.

EXACTLY. Every pick-me cheerleader needs to remember that NEVER has a cheerleader been invited onto the field to play with the team. Never.

It’s kinda weird that famous people’s dogs don’t *know* they’re famous.

Every time I hear about intimacy coordinators, I think of Maria Schneider’s experience filming Last Tango in Paris.😞

What an absolute nightmare. A high school student saw his friends crash their Cybertruck and rushed to help, but was only able to rescue one of them because the car's doors would not open from the outside. He watched his three other friends burn to death. oaklandside.org/2025/03/18/c...

Every day a new reason I’m glad I never let one of these little digital narcs into my home

Damn. I know it was filmed a decade before the disease hit mainstream awareness in the US, but MIDNIGHT COWBOY sure as hell feels like an AIDS love story.

Oregonians! The state legislature has introduced a new bill that deserves your support; it would prohibit discrimination in the selection & retention of books/textbooks/instructional materials in schools. (So no pulling texts just because they're by BIPOC or queer people!) 🧵

So if birds are the descendants of dinosaurs, does that mean T-Rex tasted like a big-ass killer chicken?
