And it garnered the Shirley Jackson Award!

Have you grabbed a bargain yet? Every single purchase helps us. It really does. And these are perfect for the October Country.

Reminder to haunt our friends @littleghostsbooks.bsky.social in the @canconsffh.bsky.social dealers room this weekend to grab Uncertain Sons by @thomasha.bsky.social and Best Weird Fiction Vol. 1. Plus other great titles!

From writer Matt Cardin (via facebook).

If you enjoy the stories and want to help us keep publishing them, we have a Ko-Fi where you can chip in a few bucks. If you're able. Thank you. ko-fi.com/weirdhorrormag

All the right wing grifters are out in force writing opinion pieces about “WOKE.” Just a reminder: the term woke comes from AAVE during the civil rights era, it meant being awake to social and racial injustice. Imagine being mad at that and using it as an insult

Get yours here if you like to get freaked out:

Props to Benjamin for sharing the details of his contract. Unfortunately no props to MRM because there's a lot of extremely outre stuff in here that I'd refuse to sign. Let's run it down. (Context: If you're negotiating a contract with Strange Horizons, I'm the person you're negotiating with.)

The final story from issue 11 of Weird Horror has now been posted. Please enjoy David Peak's "Foreword to 'Occult Methods of Investigation'." www.weirdhorrormagazine.com/occult-methods

Are you going to @canconsffh.bsky.social ? We're not, sadly, but friends @littleghostsbooks.bsky.social will have copies of The Best Weird Fiction of the Year, Vol. 1, and @thomasha.bsky.social's Uncertain Sons, and Other Stories. Grab 'em both!!

And you can read Marty's great story here: www.weirdhorrormagazine.com/nothing-good

Hi everyone! I've been accepted to the once-in-a-lifetime writing workshop Under the Volcano, in January, in Mexico! I'm raising funds to help cover tuition, lodging, and airfare. If you are able to donate or boost the signal, thank you! www.gofundme.com/f/53fw2-help...

Just got an email telling me it's the last day for 'prime deals.' Fug that crap. Want a real deal? Check out our selection of $2 eBooks for October. Any sale helps keep our indie spirit going. Thank you! undertowpublications.com/ebooks

Do they really actually believe there is a network of antifa? I figured it was just more nonsensical non-truths. But they may be believing their own lies. They might be that delusional and unhinged. Just like the MAGA shills, they'll believe stuff without a shred of evidence.

@datlow.bsky.social 's latest is in house. Just have to decid which side of this Saga Double to read first.

Many thanks to the generous @lmanusos.bsky.social at Book Riot for spotlighting @thomasha.bsky.social's UNCERTAIN SONS as a 'knockout horror collection'. bookriot.com/recent-upcom...

Thank you @undertow.bsky.social! I'm excited to burrow myself into these on the Canadian long weekend. My weird fiction exposure so far has been Vandermeer, Mieville, and mostly older works and I'm trying to read more widely and discover new authors because: what a gorgeous genre.

Having a beer while slinging books. How civil.

I Would Haunt You(r Ebook Reader) If I Could

Honestly everything coming out from Undertow is super great and worth reading

I have all of these books, and every one is brilliant. Undertow has never disappointed me.
