⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐: "Farrenkopf brings the weirdness, an eco-horror bordering on the cosmic. Morris has multiple short stories of eco-horror that never go where you think. Raglin caps the collection with a tale of vengeance from an unexpected source."

A little preview of how fucking cool Gore Poetics is going to be. Can't wait to publish this one next year.
A fraternity massacre births rewritten history, a supernatural entity, and a survivor obsessed with both. Two bog bodies ponder their star-crossed love. A chronically ill house consumes its unwilling, equally unwell tenant. A housewife discovers she's made of several million ticks—but only after they leak from her new nipple piercings. The stories in Gore Poetics explore intimacy and annihilation through visceral, wet prose. Samir Sirk Morató makes a name for themself as a master of strange, erotic, and transgressive horror in this stunning debut collection.

"Corey Farrenkopf, Tiffany Morris, and Eric Raglin have built a shared apocalypse that feels as if Jeff VanderMeer’s Annihilation and Clive Barker’s Books of Blood made unsettling, chlorophyll-stained offspring."

If you haven't read @tiffmorris.bsky.social's story in Never Whistle at Night, it's an awesome haunted house story. Tiff is such a superb writer, and I'm so glad I got to work with her for The Writhing, Verdant End!
Cover for Never Whiste at Night, featuring a colorful illustration of various plants and animals, some of which are a little sinister: a snake in the grass and a skull-patterned moth.

"You do not know what disaster transformed this town into ruin. It rusts at the borders. It dissolves, it erodes, it falls apart. Mouths stretch to scream and the sky stretches with them."
