Our latest anthology, New Meat in a Clean Room, blends existentialism, transgressive fiction, and body horror— see: BodyPunk (BAH-dee-puhngk)—with post-punk, hauntological, and industrial vibes. Featuring Joe Koch, Edwin Callihan, Sam Richard, Charlene Elsby, Justin Lutz, and Brendan Vidito.

We don’t often dive into extreme horror, but if you like your horror a little F—d up—but still has something to say —Jon Steffens is absolutely your man. He was also the first author to ever trust me with their novella, so either way you feel about Filthy Loot, you have him to blame.

Hitting the road soon for @voidcon.bsky.social!
I’ve been tabling for about three years now, and it still doesn’t feel like I’ve perfected what to bring. People who've been tabling longer, any things/tricks that have made your life easier?

DM us—we’re starting a store list on our page. The #1 question we get is “Does any store in ______ have copies?” and right now our answer is usually just awkward silence.

Also, if you’re a shop interested in carrying us…please send us a message.

Sale on the site, $9.99 for any anthology, or book by Jon Steffens or Ira Rat. It's the... um... International Left-Handers Day (week) Sale? Does that sound like a thing?

Follow the link on the Filthy Loot website for... a little bit more information.

If you haven't heard, we're having to do a lottery for table space for ONE OF US. If you live in the midwest and want to sell your wears at this event, SIGN UP NOW. (LINK INK COMMENT)

Hey Illinois friends! I’ll be at the Chicago Zine Fest this Saturday, selling... zines! Several for sale for the first time! We’ll have all our zines/chapbooks available, except for the OOP ones. I'll also be in Chicago on Friday, but sorry, not wherever you are!

MIDWEST Horror writers who want to drive to Iowa City to table at a horror event. The entry for the lottery is now open! Even if you have just one book, you're welcome! Look for the previous post, as putting the URL in it might have limited its reach.

I'm not sure which Midwest horror authors need to hear this, but I'm organizing a small horror author festival in Iowa City this September. Perhaps you should check the Filthy Loot website for 'One of Us' if you're interested in tabling. The table lotto entry starts on the 15th.

Doing a pop up/signing at @bobzbay.bsky.social next Saturday.

I’m not saying everyone needs to be there. Just if you live in Illinois.

@miseryvulture.bsky.social's new book Fleischerei is coming out soon!

See what @charleneelsby.bsky.social has to say about it.

Two new books are coming out from Filthy Loot / Talented Perverts.

So Tender a Killer by @matthewkinlin.bsky.social and Fleischeri by @miseryvulture.bsky.social |

Both of these books are too good, too unique to fit into a social media post. You're just going to have to read them. 😍

Just saying.

@miseryvulture.bsky.social with a few words for the parents.
April 14, 2025 at 5:50 PM
Them: OMG you're press is so punk!

Me: We're not punk.

Them: OMG you're so punk that you're even saying that you're not punk!

Me: Then we're... punk?

Them: Fucking sell-outs!

@xaviergarcia.bsky.social recommending another Book We Don't Even Put Out™. "Nightmares in Ecstasy" by also @brendanvidito.bsky.social (alright, we have had Brendan in some collections, but we didn't put out this book, @clashbooks.bsky.social did!)

Semantics!
