Thanks to @wjdavies.bsky.social & @review31.bsky.social for this great review of four recent @nightjarpress.bsky.social publications by @rlsummerling.bsky.social @bookishleels.bsky.social @ggaffa.bsky.social & Joe Stretch

Just finished this enthralling, hypnotic novella. Set in the Namibian desert, it charts the consequences of a woman's ill-fated decisions. Highly recommended @roadsongbooks.bsky.social

Undertow Publications @undertow.bsky.social An awesome small press! Show them love!

A lot happened this week that is way more important, and this feels like a million years ago, but icymi: (1) Uncertain Sons was nominated for the Philip K. Dick Award! (2) If you missed getting a copy, Undertow's running a big sale on some 2025 ebooks, incl. this collection for $3! Just 3 man

Indeed! Just $3!

If you love post-apocalyptic fiction, then do check this out! It's a great read!

Currently trying to get through the brave new weird nominations from @tenebrouspress.bsky.social. Four down, 50? To go. tenebrouspress.com/blog/2026/1/...

For those who've read (and hopefully enjoyed) "Body and Soul" can I ask if you have a moment to pop a review wherever it might matter. Published by @elsewhen.press In other news: pre-orders for another book I've had in the pipeline for a while will be available from next Friday, so I've been told.

@markpeters.bsky.social Thanks for all your editorial support with this anthology. You're a star x And thanks to all the wonderfully creative authors who submitted stories to us at Bag of Bones Press for our Skin call in 2024.

Just a little New Year punt about Blood In The Bricks, our creepy old urban folk horror anthology. Check it out!

Happy to have a story in the upcoming volume of Frost Zone!

Our three newest titles are now available for pre-order at salopress.com 🤩 As a tiny tiny independent publisher running this thing on limited funds, from our dining room, we are grateful for every single order. Thank you all for the support so far.

It's really nice, isn't it? Hopefully the first of many.

Thank you so much, I'm so pleased to be a part of this and in such great company. Particularly thrilled to be published alongside the excellent @sjtownend.bsky.social !

unspeakably honored to be included on the Brave New Weird Vol. 4 shortlist, alongside some seriously great writers!! thanks to @tenebrouspress.bsky.social and @cold-signal.com for giving That Red Hot Beat a home ❤️🖤 tenebrouspress.com/blog/2026/1/...

Will be sporadic because I’m at the day job, but… #HorrorWritersChat I’m Mae! I write weird fiction, queer, transgressive horror, mostly set in the South. I’m most inspired by the works of Anne Rice and Flannery O’Connor, and my current WIP and second novel HELLBENDER is heavily inspired by both.

Incredible list!!! It’s so sick that Tenebrous does the work to celebrate the field like this. Congrats to all!!

Weirdly, horrifically, weird horrorly, I was just thinking the other day that Alexander James's "Silver Wires and Sweet Water" deserves a top spot among stories published last year www.weirdhorrormagazine.com/silver-wires

What a cool and unexpected surprise to see my story The Sunflower Farmer from Apocalypse Confidential on the shortlist here. Thank you @tenebrouspress.bsky.social !! apocalypse-confidential.com/2025/01/21/t...

Thank you, SJ, that is so lovely of you!

Thank you very much, Michael.

Woot! An amazing list. Congratulations all! Let's keep it weird.

Thank you, Mae! That is very nice of you.

Yay! I made the shortlist. For writers of weird fiction this is seriously like the Oscars. Thanks to @tenebrouspress.bsky.social and most of all to @seizethepress.bsky.social for believing in "Avila Beach," my weird story of severed limbs, creepy government compounds, and teenagers with no future.

Thank you so much, you lovely people, I am thrilled by this! And loads of thanks also to Michael at the excellent @undertow.bsky.social for publishing the story last year. It's great to be in such fantastic company.

oh shitttt!!!

Just read this excellent novella by @dlgladwin.bsky.social - set in Eyam and Chatsworth during the 1666 Great Plague, it draws on history and folklore and has a brilliantly distinctive narrative voice @roadsongbooks.bsky.social

Weird horror friends, you should probably all get on this: commongoodnews.org/inspiring/po...
