If you're a csa survivor, you really don't have to keep up with the news for now. Mute words, take an sm break. Let someone you trust keep an eye on things for you. There's no need to boil with rage every minute of the day when these fuckers will probably walk free anyway. My heart goes out to you.

about to have a woman moment✨

On August 12, 1971, 16-year-old me mailed the first story I ever wrote off on its first submission to my dream market, F&SF. My tale was quickly rejected. On July 17th, 2025, I finally sold a story to that magazine. Here's why I felt I had to withdraw that story. www.scottedelman.com/wordpress/20...

I’m seriously not trying to rain on anyone’s parade but “you can see the Northern Lights in New Mexico” seems like a line of dialogue in the first ten minutes of a movie where the world ends.

normally I don't like it when people rush to infer queerness in every depiction of men displaying homosocial intimacy, I find it reductive and even a little fetishistic. That being said this is basically a hardcore sex scene

Men, why try to look cool reading just any book when you can look bad ass as all hell with one of my book covers? Art by Matthew Revert on both

Nailed it

Happy There Is A Circulatory System Walking Through The Kitchen Day to all who celebrate.

So pleased this project is moving forward! I wrote a little something for it called "This Is A Test" and it is.

Very excited to be a part of this anthology with my story THE PILGRIMAGE OF THE MEATCLAY: AN ASCENT. Hugely looking forward to seeing where my fellow contributors took this! And thank you to @horrorsong.blog for alerting me to the call in the first place.

Take a fucking bus you cowards

Every so often a philosopher or scientist or some sort of guy much smarter than me writes about my novella The Wingspan of Severed Hands. I guess I channeled something beyond my finite brain with that one. Thank you @tkendall.bsky.social for pointing this one out! substack.com/home/post/p-...

Hey! Sort of a surprise new story day. @undertow.bsky.social is making my novelette, "Uncertain Sons," (original to the collection) available online for a short time for folks catching up on end-of-year reading. Eligible for most novelette/long fiction categories. Online until end of November!

Oh god this would drive me away even faster

shippin orders out this week. buy now & forget about it until it shows up on your doorstep like a stinking wet bag of splatterpunk bitch feces

Need to update my blog and post about a couple of new stories out now but I spent today writing instead. And bottom-watering the plants with mosquito dunks water because of these tiny sent from the pit of hell gnats. Anyway, I need a publicist! Or something! At least I'm getting published!

wanna see him sewing on the dick vein

when will a frankenstein movie be brave enough to let us see the doctor choosing the dick

My latest story is up on Saturday Evening Post! Check it out!! 💛

Good literary translation requires understanding (language, culture, genre--on both sides of the translation) and an ability to write well. "AI" can't do that. There are no shortcuts. Treat your work and foreign language readers with the respect they deserve. You won't fool anyone with this.

Some thoughts on horror, materialism, pessimism, enlightenment. The usual. matthewcheney.net/blog/the-mat...

“Spectrum of Desire: Love, Sex, and Gender in the Middle Ages” at The Met Cloisters is a counterargument to pop culture depictions of the Middle Ages, dominated by cisgender regulations and gender-normative binaries.

I feel like if you’re a witch and you catch a witchy vibe and the weather is lovely and stormy you should be allowed to call off work and do witch stuff

I’ve read a decent amount of Joe’s work, and it’s wild how distinctive his voice is. I’m fairly certain I could pick it out of a line-up. An entire book of his work is exhausting, but in a good way. “The viewer feels detached, dirty, and used.” But in a good way! (I promise).

CONVULSIVE has: stories with titles like “The Anatomical Christ,” “How to Fillet Angels,” and “Mr. Bones Puzzle Candy”; stories fucked up enough to warrant those bonkers titles; a recursive snuff film; retellings of Madeline Usher and Snow White; a tree taking root in a starved spaceship—

Love this. Thanks, Andrew!

CONVULSIVE, by @horrorsong.blog “If art gives, this takes.” CONVULSIVE is a short story collection suffused with bad vibes (complimentary), a rhythm that will make your heartbeat stutter, beautiful descriptions of some of the worst shit you’ve ever witnessed—

heads up to anyone who holds trans kids near: amy harmon from the nyt is searching for and having a hard time finding people to interview to find out exactly what trans kids are doing when their care is limited or cut off, and for purposes of community safety, please shut the fuck up around her.

Question for the online/younger than me (everyone): if someone writes "hope that helps," doesn't that translate as "you stupid git, you absolute fucking child," or am I mistaken?

In my head this is 100% Benoit Blanc speaking
