we promise to be extra lazy to balance things out
Big rejection week out there in lit mag world. Editors across the country, bored and stuck in overcrowded airport terminals, clearing the queue before going home and trying again to explain to their aunt that actually $50 for a 4000 word story is *pretty good*

too pretty, too hot, too smart. the ideas are endless
This is how you become a writer: just pick one of the things that is deeply wrong with you. Make it a character. Now send it on a self-help journey or try to kill it. Now call it a book.

Who has horror recs? I recently read Gus Moreno’s This Thing Between Us, which explored grief through the story of a cucuy. What else ya got? 💙📚
We need the horror genre. Horror pulls out the monsters in our minds and haunts us in our waking hours; is the perfect genre for the shadow work we'll be doing for the next few years.
