day 1: an old friend, disregarding years of distance, approaches and caustically inquires how my life is. her face warbles with static like a tv screen. later, she dissolves as we are jaywalking across a busy street. I wish her absence well.

PERCIPIENCE, by @michaelsellars.bsky.social, cosmic horror, unorthodox presentation of narrative, and a cerebrally stimulating central mystery invoking metafiction by story's end. highly recommended—a quick read, fast-paced, and dread-soaked throughout. fans of Area X will find much to enjoy here!

just wrote 2100 words about a guy who menaces another guy in a bar with a five-inch hunting knife, accompanied by the keening crash & wail of "I Wish It Would Rain Down" by Phil Collins

fascinating. clocking in at about 45 minutes, a study of numbness & banal placidity, cracking like thin ice under sustained pressure. don't expect any answers from this elliptical and ambiguous film. misophoniac beware: its aural madness is communicable, and lingers like an invisible echo.

though approaching the end of my two-year contract at Spooky House Press, it's always still such a joy to see new readers embracing theｓｃｒｅｂ
Last night, I read The Disappearance of Tom Nero by @eerieyore.bsky.social
It's a cool little novelette written by/for/about weird lit nerds. Saw a lot of myself in the two main characters, and I reckon any working class writer will (especially if you're a gay/bi man).

had the honor and pleasure of reading this early and it's a stunner
I have a novelette called 'One by One' coming out in January in @apexmag.bsky.social about a queer kid who realises that all the queer people around her are being deleted from existence, one by one, beginning with her trans best friend.
I cried while writing it; this story means SO much to me.

I just finished listening to the enormously talented Kate Reading's audiobook of George Eliot's Middlemarch while reading the text alongside and making over 200 highlights—what prose! my god, I wept openly during a few sections—and now I need desperately to talk about it

FOLK SONGS for TRAUMA SURGEONS, by Keith Rosson—an urgently-driven collection of stories, like a sick heart pistoning beneath the pages, gone tachycardic and at the point of exhaustion—yet still, beats on. bleak but bizarrely warm, and character work that shines through the dark.

there's a kind of Rapture allegory to be made with how many folks have come over to these blue skies, making me think that those left behind in X are writhing in a kind of hideous torment. I, as always, am a soul on both sides, unwilling to depart and yet already gone
