Maidens of Midnight, my debut lo-fi horror collection, is up for preorder. I'm proud of this weird little book, a collaboration with excellent illustrator @luciaretamales.bsky.social, but you don't have to take my word for it. Here's what @brianevenson.bsky.social wrote on the collection:

November always manages to fly past as we gear towards the holidays but the team still managed to pack the month full of excellent reads - check out what their Top Picks were! Read more: tinyurl.com/nvdmevas

Every day you can choose not to feed the hate machine.

PORTRAITS OF DECAY from @saltheartpress.bsky.social is eligible for all those cool awards folks are talking about! If you're a fan of weird fiction in the vein Padgett, Fawver, Jackson, Ligotti, and Cushing, check it out!

Story day!! I’m so delighted to debut in @unchartedmag.bsky.social with ‘Love Story in Colored Glass:’ an inter-dimensional love story about a starship that breaks reality - and a pair of lovers who find themselves, again and again, across the fracture. www.unchartedmag.com/stories/love...

This is a thread of stuff that inspired my novella THE CELLAR BELOW THE CELLAR, out with Violet Lichen Press on Feb 18, 2026! Thread updated weekly, maybe? www.apexbookcompany.com/products/the... www.goodreads.com/book/show/24...

"We clash with a world that we simply do not feel part of. When I read Ligotti, and I found the...malaise at being trapped into an existence we didn’t consent to—I finally found out that not only was I not alone, that there was a massive community of us." @rsljnr.bsky.social

Here's the aurora-filled novella for anyone who is particularly into auroras right now: www.apexbookcompany.com/products/the...

Grappling with some serious existential & financial angst today. Friendly reminder I've got two fun books with big ideas out that cool readers seem to really enjoy. Would love for you to check 'em out, too

ok but this story "Bog Eye" by @rsljnr.bsky.social is a weird masterpiece. It's chaos and poetry and really strange mutant philosophy and I just love it. I hope more people read this

can't wait to buy this. big congrats again ivy!!!! x

A lovely poetic piece by @suzyeynon.bsky.social: ettereview.com/fall2025/eyn...

As night falls and the sky begins to dance, something looms over the dark horizon... 🌕🏚️🌌 Full cover reveal of THE CELLAR BELOW THE CELLAR by @ivygrimes.bsky.social coming Monday!

last week I was able to have one of my fave stories appear in one of my fave publications -- I can't wait to see the next piece they release :)

RSL was fortunate to receive a very early copy of Jo Kaplan's upcoming horror novel THE MIDNIGHT MUSE: "Kaplan masterfully evokes the reader’s belief in a spectrum of characters" Read more: tinyurl.com/59haa69d @clashbooks.bsky.social @joannapary.bsky.social

"Notions" -- painted Mr Blanky from the Terror, played by Ian Hart. One of me fave characters

The parents in DONNIE DARKO have their faults but I always loved how supportive and loving they were. How they used humor and care with their son to help him through his struggles with mental illness.

This newest bit of beautiful word noise from @rsljnr.bsky.social just ripped open my mind. You should let it rip yours open too. Join us.

Many thanks for including Glass Stories on this list!! 🖤

You're all sleeping on @rsljnr.bsky.social. Check out their new story, "Bog Eye", on @ergot.bsky.social. Reads like a Ligottian eulogy with some fantastic prose. www.ergot.press/authors/RSL/...

the comeuppance has arrived (or has always been arriving?) -- do yourselves a favour and check out the other awesome stories ergot. has, too. truly an amazing publication <3

His body hung limp on our door, always facing inside, never out. When I asked my mom about this, she said, “Well, we wouldn’t want to scare the children.” “It scares me though,” I said. “I’m a child.”

And just like that we've reached the end of October! Check out what the team read over the spooky season and what were their #TopPicks! Read more: tinyurl.com/yck4v4pz

fantasy-hive.co.uk/2025/10/top-... @thefantasyhive.bsky.social got to put out my top picks for this spooktober, reflecting on what i've read this month. i ended up picking Yeager's Negative Space, which was a trip to reread when full of flu meds.

I’ve chosen my top pics of the month over at @thefantasyhive.bsky.social alongside my colleagues, by which I mean I’ve made an absolute menace of myself as usual fantasy-hive.co.uk/2025/10/top-...
