I spy a couple anthologies I was lucky enough to be a part of: “The Deep” (Aquatic Horror) and “Chlorophobia” (Flora Horror).
Four years worth of gorgeous books, all on one shelf 📚 😍 Ghost Orchid Press was established in January 2021 and it’s been a journey! We’re so proud of everything we’ve published since then.

If you’re looking for an editor, Will is extremely thoughtful and thorough!
Horror Authors/Publishers
The feds killed my day job, and I'd love some new editing gigs to get me through job hunt limbo.
I come with decent references and, between my boredom and my shriveling bank account, let's say that rates, etc. are NEGOTIABLE

Had a super gloomy Friday night, but in a good way, with @carsonwinter.bsky.social and @bainwrites.bsky.social on INTO THE GLOOM.
The amount of concert stories we just swapped, in service of #PUNKgoesHORROR, deserves their own anthology.
