Our emails are full of discounts and sales, but supporting indie presses allows them to keep weird art alive while anti-consumer AI shit threatens our existence. It means supporting authors. If you're in a place to support folks today, 10p is among the best places to do so if you ask me. 💀💜🤘

Also, there are a lot more out there. Check out @malarkeybooks.bsky.social @clashbooks.bsky.social @cursedmorsels.bsky.social @weirdpunkbooks.bsky.social @castaignepub.bsky.social @ghostorchidpress.com @timberghostpress.bsky.social @littleghostsbooks.bsky.social @ghoulish.bsky.social today too!

2 ongoing convos are dovetailing rn: 1. a holiday shopping $ blackout aimed at big business; 2. worry over small presses closing or paring down. Let's talk direct action: YOU CAN DO BOTH😀 IT'S VITAL TO SUPPORT indie pubs that encourage risk & diversity. Here's a 🧵 of em you can support directly:

Remembering the time that I ordered a signed, numbered copy of All Will Writhe by Sam Richard @sammytotep.bsky.social from Weird Punk Books @weirdpunkbooks.bsky.social and requested number 19. The reply was simple: I will make this happen! It still makes me smile. Thank you both (all) again!

Weirdpunk is woefully behind this year on basically everything. Sorry if you're waiting on me. I'm trying to get outta this cave, but it has been super difficult. Looking for hope. Looking for passion. Looking for that part of myself that needs to create. Everything is so far away right now.

The @cacomixpod.bsky.social @voidcon.bsky.social @weirdpunkbooks.bsky.social special crossover-event of the decade! Watch for the foil embossed holographic variant covers! @saracentury.bsky.social it was great meeting you 🤘

I spent all weekend surrounded by friends, engrossed in conversations about writing, publishing, creativity, forging a truly diy approach, shit-talking, friend-praising, and more. Honored to call these fucks friends, and to have made new ones. I took zero photos but made the front page of a paper.

Gears are in motion for our next release. It's a bit behind, but things are really starting to come together. Shrieks in Cups of Gold is an anthology in the spirit of the work of Katherine Dunn. TOC reveal, cover, and preorder in about a month. Should be out in November. Stoked for y'all to read it!

also excited to have fresh eerie stories in Hellarkey vol. 4 (available digitally from @malarkeybooks.bsky.social) and Profane Sorcery vol. 3 (preorders open at @weirdpunkbooks.bsky.social) 😈🐍

@horrorsong.blog has written a hallucination about a cosmic play, with characters that reveal terrible truths about the fragility of humanity's island of certainty, and the tide is coming in. PICK THIS UP TODAY FROM @weirdpunkbooks.bsky.social #booksky #horror 🫲🖤🌝👑🌚💛🪽

I haven't been active much on here lately as we recently moved and let's just say that life has been pretty chaotic for about 3 months. Been doing some rad events, been looking into the future of the press, been trying to dig out of some time-holes. All in all it's good but stressful.

—the more friends they lose. I hated the ending to that one (complimentary—it couldn’t have ended any other way). Richard’s collection probes the depths of grief and isolation in a way I wasn’t expecting, and made me sad just as often as it scared me. You should check it out.

But by far my favorite is “From The Past Comes The Storm,” a story about 90s queer metalheads that start stealing and distributing DIY HRT drugs, who then escalate to burning down a church in defiance of christian fascism—except it doesn’t stay burnt. And the more times they try—

THE STILL BEATING HEART OF A DEAD GOD by @sammytotep.bsky.social TSBHOADG is: drunkenly wandering a post-apocalyptic mall mourning your dead wife; cam-girl body horror; a surprisingly touching story called JIZZ CHRIST; a craft beer that will change your life; grief, loneliness, & flesh crucifixes—

Finished this @weirdpunkbooks.bsky.social novella this weekend - MUTANT CIRCUIT by Mark Jaskowski. A high-octane cosmic/body horror conspiracy thriller that reminded me of FEVER HOUSE.

Book haul from “One of Us” horror fest! @horrorsong.blog @patrickbarb.bsky.social @matthewmitchell.bsky.social @weirdpunkbooks.bsky.social @filthyloot.bsky.social @clashbooks.bsky.social @cursedmorsels.bsky.social @flameswallower.bsky.social @cynthiasaysboo.bsky.social @tenebrouspress.bsky.social

@weirdpunkbooks.bsky.social has some bangers and I especially rec @matthewmitchell.bsky.social's Chaindevils & @charleneelsby.bsky.social's The Organization is Here to Support You. Also Naben Ruthnum's Helpmeet I also recently read Moshfegh's McGlue which I thought was brilliant.

PLUS PLUS: have you preordered @weirdpunkbooks.bsky.social's Profane Sorcery vol. 3 for maximum snake cult good times? weirdpunkbooks.square.site/product/prof...

I have a couple S&S/horror stories to appear in pending anthologies atm, but for now you could check out Profane Altars which has a short by me, plus a gorgeous cover from the late Jeffrey Catherine Jones and is just rad as Hell. weirdpunkbooks.square.site/product/prof...

Just picked up a copy at @littleghostsbooks.bsky.social (as well my umpteenth copy of Carmilla for the full Sara Century Experience ™️) who are well stocked with @weirdpunkbooks.bsky.social books for Canadian weirdo punks! 👻 www.littleghostsbooks.com/product/prof...

So very very good. Another @weirdpunkbooks.bsky.social banger!

Book 61 of 2025: Jo Quenell, The Mud Ballad The Mud Ballad is a completely over the top psychotronic backwoods novella about carnies, black magic, and a murderous little filthhole of a town. Hogs fightin' kids, mimes, conjoined twins, necromancy, lost loves, boy howdy does this one pack it in.

Well, what do we have here? A newsletter with previews of not one but TWO upcoming Cursed Morsels books. Check it out and subscribe! buttondown.com/cursedmorsel...

Pulled a stack of zines and chapbooks for my non Sealey challenge challenge (these aren't poetry). But I plan on reading at least one a day. Stuff from @cursedmorsels.bsky.social, @weirdpunkbooks.bsky.social, @horrorsong.blog, @frombeyondpress.bsky.social, @malarkeybooks.bsky.social and more!

I love recommending books to those who might enjoy them! As a fan of JG Ballard, Cookie is excited to check out this @weirdpunkbooks.bsky.social anthology, and I am looking forward to her opinion.

It has arrived @weirdpunkbooks.bsky.social is quite speedy!

@weirdpunkbooks.bsky.social Sub Club books showed up on the table today!! Super stoked for the new Mark Jaskowski book! And the zine looks super rad!!

I like cool shit. #horror #booksky

Their books are pretty awesome.

Today's book mail courtesy of @weirdpunkbooks.bsky.social (buy their books!)

Just ordered Charlene Elsby's new book with @weirdpunkbooks.bsky.social

@weirdpunkbooks.bsky.social are the best - check out their catalogue, it's pretty awesome 🖤

🐙🎉

if you, like me, are not energetically in a place to add more books to the tbr-pile, consider picking up a sick tote or t-shirt. press merch is great because it helps you start a conversation and spread the word about the people who devote their lives to giving homes to stories.

Check out their Weirdpunk Books if you haven’t already. Lots of great books to choose from. Everything I’ve bought from them has been outstanding.

Weirdpunk is dope. buy horror from them.

Help out a great press and get some cool books in the process

Weirdpunk is amazing and you all should definitely pick up some super rad books!!!!

I was inspired by this plea to pre-order a book I think looks good: FERAL ARCHITECTURES: BALLARDIAN HORRORS, with work by Joe Koch, Donyae Coles, Sara Century, Brendan Vidito, and editor Sam Richard. weirdpunkbooks.square.site/product/fera...

Support weird. Support punk. Be both those things.

You can’t go wrong with this press. Buy a book if you can swing it!

my personal recs from WPB's catalogue: CHAINDEVILS (Mitchell) (brief reasons why here www.dis-member.com/dead-leaves-...) A SMALL LIGHT (Century) TO OFFER HER PLEASURE (Seay) and of course the preorder of Profane Sorcery vol. 3 😎
