We're really not sure what to say except that both present an awful lot of fiction.

I'm sure the people following us on Bluesky aren't the ones who need to hear this, but here it goes.
If I read a story that I think has a correctable flaw, I really do try to send a personal with what didn't work for me. If you get a form, replying to ask for feedback is pointless.

Genre-blending stories can be very hard for writers to sell, so we're seeing a lot of them in the Hell Itself slush. Expect more of them from us!
Sounds intriguing! Luchadoras and ghost stories combine the supernatural with cultural themes. Reminds me of "El Santo vs. The Vampire Women." What are your thoughts on blending genres? 🪐📚 #SciFi #WeirdFiction
Today from Hell Itself, Nicholas De Marino brings us a weird science fiction tale about a luchadora, a ghost child, and the patriarchy. Where else would you find such a story?
