Need a bit of gooey and slightly gross flash fiction that just might be commentary about generative AI? Don't miss R. Diego Martinez's new story "Dregs," up today at Nightmare!

Recently received my contributor’s copy for Tales of Sley House 2025. It has my dark fantasy (?) story about a witch, a hunter, and a bunch of sheeple.

This is a great little intro to why you might really like Gene Wolfe (if you don’t already).

We published Antifa Splatterpunk one year after the January 6th insurrection. I wish this book were less relevant now, but unfortunately, the fascist horrors persist. In these stories, you'll find lots of Nazis getting their shit wrecked: www.cursedmorselspress.com/product/anti...

Fascism didn’t die in 1945. Its grave was only temporary. Rising again, this undead ideology shambles into the present, gathering power and spreading destruction wherever it goes.This monster stalks t...

I wrote a story I'm proud of. That doesn't mean much. My car died yesterday, completely dead, couldn't even move it to the side in rush hour traffic. I stood for an hour in the rain waving off drivers until the tow truck came. Too much bad in my life to list. Don't catastrophize, it helps nothing.
Happy New Year!
My story "The Eidolon" is in the brand spanking new issue of Baffling Magazine from @neonhemlock.bsky.social! Check it out, there's so many great queer SF and horror tales to read in there.

The last used book haul of 2025 is Jerry-approved! Good taste - at least as far as actually eating them is concerned.

As a pre-New Year’s treat, I turned in edits for my next story early! Coming this March (probably) in Nightmare Magazine, this “animal control officer in a world living under unbearable cosmic horror“ story is one of the best things I’ve ever written.

In less than a week, I will be sworn in as the next mayor of New York City. It was only possible because of the more than 100,000 people who volunteered on our campaign. Here’s a story about one of them, my mother.

Some of you have forgotten that only three years ago you were perfectly capable of writing a text, writing an email, telling a bedtime story to a child, and it should worry you that powerful companies have convinced us we can’t do things we’ve been doing since the dawn of time.

Jerry, our little foster-to-adopt ragamuffin, had to get his Jerry-berries snipped on Friday (ie, neutered). He’s on mandatory bed rest for the next few days and cone-headed for two weeks, but at least we’ve upgraded so he’s doing it in comfort if not style.

For today's #ArtAdventCalendar, here's a more stylized drawing I did this year. I liked the idea of a catfish being rooted into the mud by its barbels. Felt folkloric—the wise old catfish communing with the earth... (spell check does not think barbel is a word, but it is! 😂)

One of my favorite thing, of all the things from 2025. A rendering of one of my characters, in all his impish glory.
I wanted to draw Huitzol from one of @cynthiasaysboo.bsky.social's short stories in The Nightmare Box. ✌️ Happy spooky season

I devoured these over the last 3.5 weeks - just awesome. I’ll be honest, the covers are horrible and put me off for the longest time, but once I started, I was hooked. It’s much richer, deeper, darker and gloriously human than I was expecting.

Maybe my favorite of Keith’s books because it’s just so odd and lovely and very much its own unique thing. But also really well written, paced wonderfully, and populated by weirdos and lowlifes and .. oh right, ghosts.
Just finished my second annual reading of @keithrosson.bsky.social ‘s Smoke City. Man, what a good book I liked it even more the second time. On to Road Seven again next!

Yes, yes. Seeing friends and found family and having them over to break bread is wonderful and all. But I just want two days off to continue reading the Neapolitan Novels without work interrupting me.
