Like everyone else, there's so much more we'd rather be doing, but anyone who has any kind of platform has a duty to raise their voice.

Horror has always been political, and horror always rises to meet the moment. Now is no different. We are no different.

We love you 🖤

Yes. They Just Didn’t Think Those Americans Would Be White
Did anyone actually vote to have masked Federal agents hold US citizens down and shoot them in the back?

Really hard to look at this and all the other examples of bravery and kindness from ordinary people in this moment not think also of the tremendous cowardice exhibited over the past year by some of the richest, most well-protected people in business, media and politics
Let us all have the courage displayed by the residents of Minneapolis.

just gonna throw out a quick reminder that in America police kill a yearly average of 3 civilians per day, routinely in situations very similar to these ICE killings, and decades of explicit support for police impunity by US politicians is why ICE feels theyre able to get away with this right now
Our government is murdering the citizens of this country. They are doing it without any checks on their violence

Just so you know where we at Salon Sinister stand, it's FUCK ICE all day, every day.

If you support those nazi fucks, unfollow us and unread our shit. Our art and words were never for you, and we hope you choke.

We stand by our communities. We stand by our neighbors.
We stand against tyranny.

creating this lit mag was a cry for help.

i was depressed and wanted creative community desperately. once as i was crying about it, my partner suggested i start salon sinister.

its mission has given me a clearer purpose, and i hope others see our tiny-but-terrifying collective as a lifeline too 🖤

This reaction is *spot on*. It's an amazing story!

Have you read it yet? You can read it for free (or get a physical copy from our website)!

We're at your door right now. Read the story or we're COMING IN.
Just read @xtinemakepeace.bsky.social’s short horror story “That Little Seam By Your Left Ear” in @salonsinister.com and I was invested and audibly gasped.

Those guts almost certainly taste rancid.

That being said, we need them between our teeth.

Forget to buy a gift for a gay menace in your life? Have they been counting the knives in the kitchen while humming "ring around the Rosie" ever since?

You should get them a copy of Salon Sinister. It might be the only thing that saves you at this point.
