I feel *very strongly* about Apex and I want to live in a literary ecosystem where it survives and thrives. So, help me be good algae here. This metaphor is really wanting to go off leash so I should probably stop, but please back Apex if you can.

If you're looking for a short horror story that will have you sobbing, look no further than @avgreenewrites.bsky.social's story "Bubble Bath" which asks just how much a parent will do for their child, knowing they cannot be saved. Find it in our anthology, Tangle & Fen (link in bio)

I’ve got a micro piece opening this installment, and the whole episode is fantastic!
Welcome to episode 694. We have five bite-sized tales of terror for you this week. About avoidant home renovations, a plan for the zombie apocalypse, a siren’s awakening, an evil fingernail, and a family of squatters defending their home.

I pine for this gorgeous French restaurant in Nanjing, China (Les 5 Sens) pretty regularly.
I don't want to hear about your lost loves, tell me about the restaurant food that haunts you because you'll never be able to taste it again

Please enjoy a brief respite from the moral, political, and social collapse of the United States, courtesy of the very real and inexplicably ungated walk-in storm drain next to my old junior high! Thank you @giganotosaurus.bsky.social and @tbonejenkins.bsky.social for the space to go long. 💚 🛶
New story up at GNS:
No joke, the devil you made a deal with at thirteen is back to make you drink the Lethe, save Hell, and your son with it. But you must remember not to look back.

For the “read a childhood favorite” task in my annual reading challenge, I busted out Clan of the Cave Bear. Is it perfect? No. Would I be able to not just survive but thrive if I got stranded in the Pleistocene because of how many times I read this book in fifth grade? Thousand percent.
