She tried not to look at them as she passed, even as they rasped a light whisper. It was the same muddled hiss they often made when she went by them. Maybe they were trying to tell her something. All these ghosts in this city with something to say, yet she was never able to really understand them.

Pre-order Luna Novella 2026! All That Is in the Earth by
@aknighton.bsky.social When Clifford crash lands on the planet of Abaddon, he might as well be dead 🪐

A breeze blew in, and with it the clear, refreshing scent of rain. The drops brushing his cheek, his first real weather after months on transport ships and orbital stations, was like a message from home, a memory of his mother standing under an apple tree, watching spring shoots unfurl in the Fields.

Outside, the ghosts didn't always stay in the same place - sometimes they moved, or gathered, and when the rain was heavy Maggie could even hear them. An echoing thrum of gathered spirits amongst the screams of rain. In This City, Where it Rains Lyndsey Croal

That flesh, like all of their flesh, was pale and sagging, shot through with thick, dark veins. The head of one horse-like creature trembled and a section of its neck slid off, breaking into chunks and dust as it fell, but the beast didn't collapse. All That Is in the Earth Andrew Knighton

Those who live near Tair House give it a wide berth. Visitors to the cemetery walk past it quickly, as if they don't notice it's there or that they're pretending it isn't. Maybe they are scared of this place. Maybe they're right to be. It is, after all, a house that can scare the clouds themselves from breaking.

He was too scared to cry, to run, to do anything except stare out through his helmet and the window beyond, into the heat haze and the smoke drifting out across a planet where only the dead dwelt. He prayed to a god he'd never believed in, and he stared. All That Is in the Earth Andrew Knighton

Order That Very Witch: Fear, Feminism, and the American Witch Film by Payton McCarty-Simas! Explore seven decades of the cyclical rise and fall of the cinematic witch in American culture and her relationship to feminist movements over time. www.lunapresspublishing.com/product-page...
"Witches fall into the dead center of the girl power milieu of the mid-late '90s, encapsulating both the ways Third Wave feminist ideals were being foregrounded in pop culture and, at the same time, undercut by neoliberalism, individualism, and the hobbling forces of the now-mainstreamed conservatism of the Moral Majority."
