Hey there. Latest story, now out, "Scion." Strangeness. Estrangement. And the history that gets lost in between. A son and father in a moving house. Deranged relatives at cross-purposes. A community fleeing a murderous intruder. A crumbling lunar colony in revolt. Hope folks enjoy. Twisty one.

Canadian friends! If you ordered a print copy of Weird Horror 12, it is slightly delayed. I expect copies to arrive here in a week. So you should have your copy in a couple weeks. I apologize for the delay.

What kind of ghoul places a bet on when a country will bomb another country? What kind of service takes such a bet? What a time to be alive.

Happy Women in Horror Month! I urge you to read books by women not only this month, but every month. Let's celebrate and spotlight the many incredibly gifted authors that grace our libraries and bookstores, and shelves. (I've read the top two, here, and am reading the other two.) What you got? WiHM

Angelica Gorodischer's TRALFAGAR, translated by @amaliag.bsky.social, an excellent, weird, subtle book, is going out of print from Small Beer Press, so they've put it on sale for just $1.99 thru Monday! Get it if you haven't: weightlessbooks.com/trafalgar/

Unusually we find ourselves with two issues available at the same time, so buying issues 3 and 4 together -- already with a nifty little discount -- means you’ll pay only half the postage. :)

Also received today this slice of absolute gorgeousness from the brilliant @undertow.bsky.social

Paula Guran reviews Weird Horror #12 as "a standout issue," and puts four of the stories (including mine!) on her recommended reading list. bsky.app/profile/locu...

In the latest issue of Weird Horror, I wrote about one of my favorite subjects...

Latest Weird Horror is reviewed in Locus. And it's a good one. Grab a copy. "Weird Horror #12 is a standout issue." — Paula Guran, Locus undertowpublications.com/shop/weird-h...

(Was also a finalist for a: British Science Fiction Award, Aurora Award, Locus Award, and British Fantasy Award!) Seventeen stories, including one never-before-published! :) Of course thank you to original publisher @undertow.bsky.social because that felt like a YEAR OF MIRACLES gosh

All the king's horses and all the king's men seem to finally have our website working again. So please feel free to saunter over there and order a book or two!

Perhaps *no* country should have a nuclear weapon?? IDK, just a random thought.

The richest man owns X. The second and third richest men control Google. The fourth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The fifth richest man owns The Washington Post. And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros. See the problem here?

Now that CNN and WBD are set to become state media in a sale to Paramount/Oracle/TikTok, it is especially important to support independent media. Off the top of my head: www.thehandbasket.co 404media.co www.garbageday.email Add your favorites in the replies. Fuck state-backed media monopolies.

It's Women in Horror month. Remembering Melanie today. Here's a link to all her titles in print. www.amazon.com/stores/Melan...

So far, it's been a shit year for many of us. It's times like these you learn to find special moments. For me, it's discovering new fiction, often published by Indie Presses. Take a bow, @undertow.bsky.social with Weird Horror. (And their latest issue features Aliya Whiteley, amongst others). #weird

So delighted to have a new story in the latest issue of @undertow.bsky.social Weird Horror! You can order a copy here: undertowpublications.com/shop/weird-h...

Out today!! Delighted to be published in Weird Horror with such wonderful writers! This issue contains my story 'New Albert' about a couple who begin questioning everything they know about the man who lives downstairs...

In case you couldn’t tell from the title, it’s full of weird horror. One of my absolute favorite magazines out today.

In which I write about old dark house movies and our new Gilded Age.

Feeling pretty cool today as we have new issues of IMO two of the finest horror publications out there: WEIRD HORROR, from @undertow.bsky.social, and REMAINS, from former Black Static and Interzone publisher Andy Cox! weightlessbooks.com/2026/02/

I'm so excited to have a story in this absolutely amazing issue!

And because we're eager for yo to read it, we've posted @strantzas.bsky.social' 'On Horror' column. This time Simon explores the distinctions between European and American Weird Horror. www.weirdhorrormagazine.com/on-horror-12
