Cover Reveal and Pre-Order!

I couldn’t be more stoked (or grossed out) by the cover to my debut horror collection. Mitch_gen on IG was great to work with, and would you look at that illustration!

Release is set for 9.9.25! Ebook pre-orders are up with paperback and audiobook soon.
A skinned figure with arcane writing on their flesh holds a book with pages made of skin. Above is written Rain Corbyn’s Body of Work. Below is Short Body Horrors

Transgressive queer horror fiction? Oh yes, I’m a fan—as long as it’s not problematic of course

Cover art by Matt Blairstone. Stark red on black art, the flesh is dissolved from the upper body of a male figure, revealing the skeleton beneath. His right fleshy hand is on a book bearing the Tenebrous logo; his left skeleton arm is thrust into the air and transforms into a death's head moth. In the background is a cityscape of tall skyscrapers and a behemoth pyramid dwarfing them. Text: BRAVE NEW WEIRD: THE BEST NEW WEIRD HORROR + MORE VOL. 4, EDITED BY ALEX WOODROE It's just like that episode of Seinfeld that they don't air anymore. You know the one.

Leaving the job I've done for the last 15 years, and the company I built, because of this "AI" bollocks. It was past time

So, if you fancy buying any of my books for Halloween - individually, or in the kind of industrial quantifies that might keep the wolf from the door -

Now's the time!

Rolled many small boulders up the hill for 2026 today, & I'm in awe at the variety.
Feels like such a trope-y answer—like a metal guitarist saying "yeah it's both our heaviest & most melodic album yet"—but it's also true.
Next year is bleak AF & Electric Neon.

Who's in for next year's book club?

⛈️ the horrors of growing up different in a small town
🖤 isolated cabins in the woods
⛈️ weirdly sexual dreams

It swamps them, swallowing their fingertips and brushing mid-thigh. Luce has never felt much larger than Jasper, but seeing it firsthand is doing something strange to him, something twisting in his gut and fluttering up in his esophagus. He blinks, rubs a hand across his chin, and focuses on the two mugs of coffee Jasper is pouring instead. “I hope you don’t mind that I borrowed your clothes,” Jasper says. “You didn’t bring anything?” “No.”

Baby's first #SLUDGEPIT? Ayo. Let's talk about my upcoming novella, MONITORED ACTIVITY.

📼 Sentient malls
📼 Serial killer/Final 'Girl'
📼 80s through 00s nostalgia (derogatory)
📼 MC [🏳️‍⚧️&🏳️‍🌈] is more than a little fucked up.
📼 Aliens...? Cults???
📼 "That should NOT be a kink, dude. JFC."

#WIP #H #D
A three by three image mood board that has a long underground hallway without end, a lit up skeeball machine, the back light of a car with a metal plate that says 2000, a brutalist structure, a sandy beach, a hand gripping someone else's forearm, a screen filled with lines of green code, blood on white tile with a hand doing the sign of the horns and a pair of white sneakers almost out of frame, and a single illuminated escalator in a dark room. In neon green text are the words Monitored Activity, Horror, Sci-fi, Unficion, @Astramachina. The overall background is a glitchy mess in tones of dark blues and purples. MONITORED ACTIVITY: A state-of-the-art security system arrives with the New Millennium, and shoppers at Prime Plaza can now spend their time and hard earned money with newfound peace of mind. That same luxury doesn’t extend to the mall’s employees. Hallucinations of missing girls and impossible hallways haunt Shaw's every shift. Footage of bloated corpses vomiting sand, violent indiscretions committed by management, and a hell-dimension of perverse delights makes the security guard equal parts sick and turned on. It’s a good thing that Shaw is impervious to shame. There is no serial killer, haunting, or starved alien life-form that can stop him from getting what he wants: PTO, and in his boss' pants. The overall background is a glitchy mess in tones of dark blues and purples. Two rough black and white sketches in the form of Polaroids. The one labeled Shaw Price '01 is of a young man with dark eyes and eyebrows, long hair tied back in a ponytail, he looks cocky and gay. The one labeled Eddie Conners 2001 is of a basic looking middle-aged man with short hair, serial killer glasses, and bags under his pale eyes. The entire graphic is covered with 2000s style sticker decorations: a glitter heart, a glitter star, a CD, and a swoopy star circle in neon green. The overall background is a glitchy mess in tones of dark blues and purples. In bright green text: Nov. 12, sentient malls, nostalgia-bait, final "guy", sexy hell dimensions, getting off on company time, t!m/c!m, evil DILF propaganda, everyone's an asshole, serial killer/potential victim. At the center of the graphic is the book cover for Monitored Activity by Mitch Miller: a mostly purple background with gltched out CRT monitors, and a banner on the bottom that says Welcome to the night shift. The graphic's overall background is a glitchy mess in tones of dark blues and purples.

Project END is a queer cosmic horror short story collection in the early stages of planning and drafting.

Shout out to @wolfehorror.itch.io for hosting this event! And for the #wolfetober prompts that inspired this project.

#SLUDGEPIT #WIP #H
Neon yellow and green text surrounds a collection of three pictures. The title reads: “Sludgepit.” Text bottom tagline reads: “Project END #wip” and “E. Saint @saintwinther.” The first photograph spans the middle area in a filmstrip frame, an image of clouds fill opposite corners with a diagonal streak of clear skies between. Eye graphics of various sizes appear in the clouds. A pink neon sign hovers in the upper left corner, reads: “Nothing to see here.” Small cursive below it reads: “this is not the end” and the word “end” is slashed out. Nearby text reads: “m X cosmic abomination.” The second photograph stands vertically near the right side with a phone camera frame. It shows a pair of statues, one being Jesus with a golden halo. Black scribbles cover this figure. Nearby text reads: “detachment from reality.” The third photograph centered in the lower area is a Polaroid, the portrait of an angel statue with crossed arms, and a bloody handprint covers her face. Nearby text reads: “grief.” Small cursive written on the Polaroid frame reads: “he can never recover from.”

Autassassinophilia should probably remain a fantasy
Brennan loves to daydream about being violently murdered, but is it still as funny when it leaves the safety of his mind and enters reality?

A green graphic titled "sludgepit" in a graffiti-esque font. Open mouths, stars, and trash border the graphic. In the center is a book cover, surrounded by arrows. The book cover features "The Gothic Arch" by Giovanni Battista Piranesi. Over this is "Flesh of My Flesh" in a serif font, followed by "Dark of My Dark" in a handwritten-looking font. "ALEX HARVEY-RIVAS" is at the base, followed by "An industrial gothic romantic fantasy". The arrows surrounding the cover from left to right and top to bottom read as follows: - Autism and transness through corpsehopping - Feral lesbians - Is it necro if I'm sentient? - Knifeplay as curiosity vs religious worship At the base of the image in glowing green font is the phrase "THIS ONE'S FOR THE DYKES" A green graphic titled "sludgepit" in a graffiti-esque font. Open mouths, stars, and trash border the graphic. In the center is a screenshot from a word document, framed top and bottom by a series of words At the top: NONA THE NINTH x THE CRADLE OF ETERNAL NIGHT At the bottom: Industrial gothic romantic fantasy The screenshot reads as follows: Its legs go still, the deteriorating flesh pulling taut. Its mouth, sticky and sour-sweet like overripe fruit, dries as she rolls her chair across the stone floor. She comes to a stop between Vaż’s legs, nudging them apart to give herself more space. Her gloves are frigid against the bare and mottled skin. “It will be but a few moments,” she says. “Ready?” Vaż nods. With far more care than Vaż deserves, Lejla plunges her fist into its chest and takes hold of its abyssal heart.
