Horror stories so funny they'll kill you. Online at dielaughingmag.com. EIC - @probablyharmless.bsky.social and @cassandradaucus.bsky.social. Issue 3 coming soon!
Some vacation destinations just cry out "visit me!" This location just cries out. And cries out. And cries out. But you want to visit anyway, don't you? Look no further than this week's free flash by Mir Rainbird, now free to read on the Die Laughing website. #dielaughing

This story goes out to everyone who's ever had a sibling. Particularly if you've had a sibling who's made cryptic proclamations whilst levitating several feet overhead. Read "Davy Is Floating" by Glenn Dungan for free on our website today! #dielaughing

Oh, so you love the monkeys when they're making bold artistic choices, but at the first explosion that's our fault? Read the first free story of Issue 5, where @romiesays.bsky.social explains why that is unjust and improper.

Immortality is a blessing, to some. But in rare cases, there can be certain drawbacks. Read Die Laughing Mag issue 5 the day after tomorrow(!) and @sealenz.bsky.social will tell you all about it in a story with a title we wish we came up with ourselves.

It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a horror comedy lit mag in possession of an Eldritch Austen Abomination, must be in want of readers. Please join us in welcoming back Lena Ng, the mag's first returning contributor, to tell us all about it over tea in just 5 short days! #dielaughing

Are you looking for a beautiful vacation spot with absolutely nothing weird or sinister about it? Look no further! As Mir Rainbird assures us, this place is beautiful, unforgettable, and totally safe*.

*We are not liable for harm incurred in the caverns.

Read all about it 10/31! Yes, YOU! #horror

The concept may seem a bit abstract (see what we did there?) but our hypothesis is you'll love this found fiction fright from @ashvalewrites.bsky.social and we hope you'll read the mag on 10/31 and help show the world we were right. We were right about everything. #horror #dielaughing

One year ago today, we published the first issue of Die Laughing Mag. We hoped to last, and we still do, but the significance of the milestone is not lost on us. We're so proud of the deeply silly horrors we've shared with you. Thank you for a fantastic year, and here's to many more. #dielaughing

If you have a sibling, you probably know how stressful it can be when they misbehave. Everyone up in arms, your brother up a few feet from the floor...

See how this plays out in "Davy is Floating," a harrowing story by Glenn Dungan in Die Laughing Magazine this Halloween! #horror #dielaughing

Here at Die Laughing Mag we have plenty of experience with clowns, but monkeys? Not our usual bag. Thankfully, we've found expert monkey wrangler @romiesays.bsky.social to tell us all about it. Read the story in Issue 5 this Halloween! #horror #dielaughing

Cover reveal! This artist has graced the inner pages of the magazine since the beginning, but the moment we saw this comically unnerving art by @authoriseult.bsky.social we knew it was the perfect way to mark one full year of the mag. Sleep with one eye open and get ready to laugh! #dielaughing

The Void has spoken! With 32 votes, a consensus was reached:

Fuck - Klaus Kinski (Nosferatu the Vampyre, dir. Herzog, 1979)
Marry - Max Schreck (Nosferatu: A Symphony of Horror, dir. Murnau, 1922)
Kill - Bill Skarsgård (Nosferatu, dir. Eggers, 2024)

Thanks for playing! See ya at the next one!

All settled in for day 1 tabling at @voidcon.bsky.social ! Stop by for a special limited edition zine (story by horrorsong.blog), a sticker, and vote in the Nosferatus Fuck/Marry/Kill poll. You can also buy some books by us (@probablyharmless.bsky.social and @residualdreaming.bsky.social)
October 10, 2025 at 7:28 PM
Surprise! The clowns are heading to @voidcon.bsky.social! @probablyharmless.bsky.social will be there all weekend and @cassandradaucus.bsky.social will be tabling with him on Friday (10/10), so please do visit us! We'll have stickers, a fanciful poll, and an exclusive zine! Be there or be square!

Did you miss us?

We're alive! We've been working hard behind the scenes to bring you Issues 5 and 6, and preparing some fun surprises for @voidcon.bsky.social (Oct. 9-11)! We'll be filling in more details in the coming weeks, but until then, here we are finalizing the next TOCs at DL Headquarters.

Sick of the haters and the creeps? Had enough crap to last eons? The final free story from Issue 4 is this showstopper from @joellekillian.bsky.social "I'm Entering My Apocalyptic Era" - and with this much gore and glam, we think you'll be excited to join her!

Some horrors can't be outrun. Will you heed the call? Read "Inescapable" by Randall Madden on our website for free today! dielaughingmag.com/2025/08/22/i...

Nothing can really prepare you for the realities of pet ownership. From fancy food to vet bills, new toys to demonic possession, anything is possible with a cat! Wait, what was that last one?

Let @acbauer.bsky.social tell you all about it in "Cattus Mallus" - dielaughingmag.com/2025/08/15/c...
August 15, 2025 at 4:12 PM
Did you check the kitchen drawers? Under the bed? Are you absolutely sure? Prepare yourself for anything by reading "The Tunnel People" by @lilliekoi.bsky.social. You never know where they could be hiding.
