We were so proud to print, "That Little Seam by Your Left Ear" by @xtinemakepeace.bsky.social! Her piece is dark, thoughtful, and rich.

If you haven't read Salon Sinister yet, consider this a small taste of what you're missing... Grab your own copy to read this and more amazing queer horror.

I love Victorian greeting cards. Absolutely doing the most with the weirdest shit. Shrimp playing poker? Why not. It’s Christmas.

LibroFM has a bunch of books discounted, BUT ALSO linking your account to an indie bookstore (either local or a long-distance relationshop) sends some of the sale their way instead of Bezzy Boy 🖤

also, ALL THE HEARTS YOU EAT is part of the sale. Ends Dec 2nd 🫀

Before I head to work, a quick reminder that tomorrow is Shop Small/Small Business Saturday! Your local bookstore, record shop, art supplier, and toy shop would deeply love to see you. Plus “gotta go support my local small businesses” is a great excuse to take a break from your family.

closing in on nine months unemployed and doing everything right to get hired. it's demoralizing and scary, as most of us know.

it feels so weird doing this, but some folks have asked how to help. while there's absolutely no expectation, here's my ko-fi page: ko-fi.com/ewhag

or job leads! please!

The social hour and light dining will take place in the library.

For the screening? We adjourn to the wine cellar 🍷

If you're not both tormented and aroused, you're at the wrong party.
we gotta start a trend of hosting gothic-themed frankenstein/nosferatu watch parties.

WRITER SPOTLIGHT: Jay Zimmerman!

An incredible poet, Jay sent us "Horror of a First Love" and we knew we had to include it! It's brutal, relatable, and it's pure emotion bled onto the page.

Read "Horror of a First Love" in Salon Sinister today. We cannot wait to see what Jay does next.
