We've been remiss in announcing that @vincestadon.bsky.social joined Dream Theory Media a few months ago! In his role as Creative Director, he's been working behind the scenes on development and caretaking some of our upcoming and ongoing publishing initiatives (and killing it!).

If you want to preorder a SIGNED copy of my forthcoming poetry collection, Offerings for Ordinary Gods ( @clashbooks.bsky.social ) , you can! Follow the Inkwood bookstore link below, then during checkout, in the Instructions/Comments box, write signed and/personalized! How fabulous is that??

"The ghost unwraps the pocket square. Inside, three orbs glow softly blue. He snatches one up, produces thin paper from his breast pocket, and rolls a cigarette." Lyrical images & a surprising plot - check it out! @prof-bogs.bsky.social in @dreamtheorymedia.bsky.social

"For another memory, I can show you more possibilities." @prof-bogs.bsky.social's haunting meditation on trauma and memory is now live at Dream Theory: "Claire de Lune" www.dreamtheory.media/claire-de-lu...

It’s been so long since I posted any #art & I just haven’t been able to get back to my iPad yet, so I finished this Procreate Pocket doodle of Cesare (Conrad Veidt) from THE CABINET OF DR. CALIGARI (1920), drawn on my iPhone with my right index finger. I’m pretty happy with it given the constraints.

What happens when a generation ship arrives at a world long since colonized by ftl utopia its crew could never have imagined?

#BookBingo update! I've read 20 flash fiction stories so far this year. Most were from @smallwondersmag.com. Their Feb issue was great. Also read stories from @dreamtheorymedia.bsky.social and @crypticfrogpub.bsky.social and I found old stories by Isaac Asimov & Gene Wolfe siting on my bookshelf.

I love this series. Check it out:

A huge thank you to @doctorofthedead.bsky.social who had been our resident artist for a while. Currently, he's cooking on something new that we hope to talk about in the near future, along with some other new projects like the @dalesmithonline.com novella.

We've done some upkeep on the site. Swapped out images for recent stories that were author (or pet) images with story-related ones. That was a short-term solution for some behind the scenes changes. Moving forward, we hope to have a mix of these style images and art illustrations for stories.
