and the forthcoming Cellar below the cellar—I do recommend everything Grimes!
"The novella weaves together folktales in a modern setting, and though this leads to some odd occurrences, they’re equally charming [...]." 💜🌌 Wonderful review from @historyneverwas.bsky.social!

I don’t know if it’s in this collection? but @spicycloaca.bsky.social’s “Pearlescent Tickwad” (in Strange Horizons) was one of my favorite stories of last year, so recommended!
See what Joe Koch said about our upcoming release, GORE POETICS, sure to be one of the strangest, most visceral literary horror fiction collections of 2026.

A new story 'Private Notary' is available to all today on Seize the Press!
"Private Notary" by Samuel M. Moss is now free to read!
I hesitate to assign genre labels to most stories, but "Private Notary" very much makes me think about the description of the New Weird as subverting cliches of the fantastic in order to put them to discomforting, rather than consoling ends.

"In the years of his appointment, the Private Notary has never met his Patron, or in fact notarized any document. This time, all these years, have been spent in study and preparation for when his services will be needed. When this may happen, and how it will manifest, he does not know."
