Just read this great story by @ecatherine.com in @bourbonpenn.bsky.social. The way it combines atmosphere, an increasingly chilling psychological interiority and just general weirdness is amazing. www.bourbonpenn.com/issue/31/the...

Bourbon Penn 36 is live with new stories by Richard Butner, Aliya Whiteley, Sam Asher, Phoebe Barr, and K. Alexander Perez, and Alex Irvine. @richardbutner.com @samasherwriter.bsky.social @kapzwrites.bsky.social

Oooh, Richard Butner! You guys ever read Horses Blow Up Dog City? Not just one of my favourite stories, but one of the best short story titles ever. I'll never come up with a title so good if I live to be a thousand.

I've been reading Bourbon Penn for a decade. Having a story with them is an honor. Fantastic stories by the other writers in this issue, give it a read!

My story "Bad Boys" is in the new issue of Bourbon Penn alongside a bunch of other fine folks. Check it out.

If you’re not reading BOURBON PENN then you ain’t thinking right.

Y’all need to read Bourbon Penn if you’re not already. And I’m biased, because they published me - but they consistently release absolute bangers. This is the magazine that made me want to share my stories.

The eleventh story in OTHER SIDES, my new collection, is “Shepherd Not Sheep”. It’s a weird tale that falls in that liminal space between fantasy and horror. No surprise, considering it was originally published in the fantastic Bourbon Penn. Order OTHER SIDES now!: tinyurl.com/2ektv9ty

It's release day for Weird Horror 11. Another disquieting and disturbing foray into the Weird. Subscriber copies have begun to mail. Artwork by @strangegodsart.bsky.social What a ToC! Grab your copy now: www.weirdhorrormagazine.com

their covers, man. every time. this one freaks me out so good.

"That House" is the eighth story in my new collection, OTHER SIDES. Originally published in the fine journal, Bourbon Penn, it's the kind of haunted house story that makes you ask your family and friends, "Do you think this is a haunted house story?" Now shipping!: tinyurl.com/2ektv9ty

Recent work: “Local Extinction Hotline” in @bourbonpenn.bsky.social It’s a phone call, an encounter, a poem. It’s grief, guilt, and growth. It’s the interior of my heart. www.bourbonpenn.com/issue/34/loc...

Absolutely delighted to announce I've sold my story "Rope" to one of my favourite magazines— @bourbonpenn.bsky.social

A review from @coreyfarrenkopf.bsky.social of UNCERTAIN SONS. Nice words are appreciated but esp. encouraging coming from a fellow writer of spec fic as prolific and dedicated as this guy. What a generous dude. What a prince. Can't say thanks enough to him for taking the time to write this.

I met @margaretroach.bsky.social when I confused her with the gardening icon Margaret Roach and she was like "no, not that one" but it turns out this Margaret Roach is also a badass - if you have a kid, name them Margaret Roach! - and this story rules by the standards of any Margaret Roach at all

Print copy of Bourbon Penn 35 arrived. Thanks, @bourbonpenn.bsky.social! Here's a link to "The Charcoal Sovereign," a way original and disturbing horror story from mad genius @stevetoase.bsky.social. Read! Subscribe! www.bourbonpenn.com/issue/35/the... #booksky #read #write #indiepublishing

I got #35 of @bourbonpenn.bsky.social for the @stevetoase.bsky.social story and aaaah it's so good. No surprise, but his narrator comes alive in just a handful of words and the gathering darkness is just as economical and pitch—speaking of darkness—perfect. Magnificently horrifying!

Just finished @sparkwatson.bsky.social 's story "Idle, Inc." in issue 35 of @bourbonpenn.bsky.social and, oh my. What a story to sneak and read first thing on a Monday morning after logging into work. Chilling and so immediate and vivid! I couldn't put it down.

Today's read: "Clown Balloons" by @rebelsam94.bsky.social, a creepy/sad/dark bit of writing from the best prose mag out there @bourbonpenn.bsky.social #writing #read #darkfiction #fiction #indiepublishing #BookSky www.bourbonpenn.com/issue/30/clo...
