Today's the day! The first story in Die Laughing Issue 3 is free to read on our site! You want to read "The Rubber Hose Epidemic" by Benjamin Khoury. We're so excited we have little cartoon hearts floating around our heads! It's...probably nothing to worry about.

On a green background, centered, a photograph of the author (a smiling, bespectacled person with dark hair and a beard wearing a dark t-shirt and sitting outside). Top text: Benjamin Khoury's story "The Rubber Hose Epidemic" is free to read on the Die Laughing Website! In the lower left corner, the Die Laughing logo peeks in (an illustration of a dead clown in a coffin, with red hair and white gloved hands crossed over his chest. He has silver coins over his eyes). In a speech bubble, the clown says "Watch out for the GLOVES!"

Sometimes your spell goes off without a hitch, and sometimes… not so much. Evan Baughfman’s story has one of these. Read “Bad Necromance” to find out which one! (Coming April 21st in Die Laughing Issue 3.)

It's a great day for a cover reveal! Thanks to @slimyswampghost.bsky.social for the unnerving illustration and @alandistro.bsky.social for the eerie typography. This extremely strange collection by @breathinghead.bsky.social comes out in April. See the post below for preorder links.
The illustrated cover of this book features a creature with a human body from the neck down, sitting at a kitchen table at night with a cup of coffee. From the neck up, this creature is an amalgam of torn flesh, gaping maws, and bodily cosmic horrors. The text reads "Shaky Pictures of Vanished Faces. Stories. D. Matthew Urban."
