Exceptionally excited about this volume. At long last, my novelette "The Caspers After Dark" will be available to read in print for the first time ever! This is my favorite horror-thing I've ever written and @fraidycatpress.bsky.social is the perfect home for it.

The 6th story in THE JOINING is an earthy invitation. Love, or something else, is buried six feet deep. To find out which, dig 'til your hands bleed.

Thanks to Donn Hess for this story! THE JOINING: SCENES OF WEDDING TERROR comes out 12.12.25 from @crystallake.bsky.social!

sometimes the proliferation of ad culture genuinely scares me. video ads on kiosks at gas stations. unskippable 30 second ads. 2-hour ads on YouTube. I just had an experience where hitting skip on an ad just brought me to a second ad. where does it end?

The 5th story in THE JOINING is a theatrical terror. Don't upstage this bride, or it's curtains for you!

(the pun department apologizes, offending parties have been shot)

This one is pretty wild. If you’re a fan of gothic fiction, fin de siècle aesthetics, and materialist critiques disguised as horror, this one’s for you

Heigh ho! The 4th story in THE JOINING is told from a marrow-sucking marital bed. What's sweetest in life lies nearest the bone, after all...

The first story in THE JOINING is a sticky scenario. Come for the romance, stay for the zoology lesson! Or is it entomology? Never mind that, just suck the juices out with us!

Thanks to the great @tlbodine.bsky.social for submitting this story for our anthology.

The 3rd story in THE JOINING is a false-faced frolic. What will you wear to the wedding feast... and whose skin is it made from?

asking for author blurbs for a new project is simultaneously one of the most exciting and nerve wracking parts of this business. I have the awful urge to end each email with, you hate me don't you? you can tell me...

The second story in THE JOINING is a hungry guest. She'll whet her appetite on wedding cake for now, but she's looking for more than that pleasant full feeling. Get what I mean?

Thanks to @jawmccarthy.bsky.social for providing this story. THE JOINING comes out in 2 months!

I can't *promise* this is the horniest story you've ever read about fruit, bugs, and religious trauma, but it's surely gotta be in the top 10.

Delighted to be a part of the festivities with my story “Severed Blessings,” based on an old northern Thailand wedding tradition and what happens when fear, shame and societal prejudices drive a woman to break her vow. As usual (in my stories), someone is very very hungry.

It’s here! I’m so proud of the story I have in this one. If you’re in the Triangle, you can hear me read an excerpt from my story “Cut-Skin, Outside-In” TOMORROW at Moondog Meadery in Durham. I’ll be reading with a bunch of other HWA authors at 7pm.
