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?

Is anyone else waiting for Tom Hanks to enter his late Jimmy Stewart Hitchcock phase where his characters look aggressively normal but are actually pretty fucked-up and kinky?

Aaaand so are medically unnecessary jawline surgeries and hair implants for men. Exhibit X:

Congratulations to our wonderful writers @rabusby.bsky.social and @ravenjake.bsky.social, whose Nightmare short stories have been nominated for the Stoker award! bramstokerawards.horror.org/front-page/t...

You can read @rabusby.bsky.social's story "Ten Thousand Crawling Children" here: www.nightmare-magazine.com/fiction/ten-...

Omg!! My weird pregnancy story!! It’s on the ballot!! Congratulations to all the authors here, and major thanks to @wnwagner.bsky.social who took a chance on a story I want everyone to think about the next time they get a Pap smear. 😄 www.nightmare-magazine.com/fiction/ten-...

READ. BLACK. WEIRD. FICTION.

Awwwww!! Thank you!!!

Ten Thousand Crawling Children by @rabusby.bsky.social is all kinds of good on so many levels. Loved it! Now I just have to get it out of my head which will be, I suspect, impossible. (Glad I got that GYN appointment done before I read it.)

Now do Walmart.

Cue the sound of leopards eating faces.

No one rips off Mary’s vadge purse.

Someone said you can really hear the hard-r sound when Trump says DEI. A lot of wyt pick-me gals are about to find out you can also hear a hard-“you’re just a vagina who cleans” sound too.

Pitch your book based on why it would be banned. In 1899, MC frequents club for queer horror fans. Long-term love btw queer characters, incl. an interracial union. Lizzie Borden shout-out. Plus, a horrifyingly specific depiction of tertiary syphilis.

Congratulations to everyone on the Stoker preliminary ballot! We're ecstatic for Nightmare writers @rabusby.bsky.social, @ravenjake.bsky.social, Victor Forna (listed for short fiction) and Haralambi Markov (short nonfiction). Here's where to read their works:

"Ten Thousand Crawling Children" by @rabusby.bsky.social ran in our January 2024 issue -- brace yourself for some serious body horror! www.nightmare-magazine.com/fiction/ten-...

My second book, Feral & Hysterical: Mother Horror’s Ultimate Reading Guide to Dark and Disturbing Fiction by Women, comes out August 19th! I’m going to reveal the cover tomorrow!! 🤩

Research has found that trans women who undergo testosterone suppression through gender-affirming care have no clear biological advantages over cis women in elite sports.

Just…no. Sick of this shit. Auto-block anyone who doesn’t see women as people.
