I just want to say that I’m personally disgusted by most US policies right now. We should be fully supporting Ukraine, insisting on justice for Palestine, turning away from fossil fuels, making healthcare and education accessible to everyone, and treating immigrants humanely. Fuck this.

Did you read my post from last week about how contract woes caused me to withdraw an accepted story from F&SF, ending my 54-year quest to be published in that magazine? But wait (as the saying goes) — there's more! Scroll down at the link for an update. www.scottedelman.com/wordpress/20...

Black Friday is capitalism gone mad, but you know what IS a great deal? Buying great horror books. Especially SIGNED great horror books direct from the author. Just saying.
Hi! I'm Alan, a horror writer from Tasmania. Talking Scared called me "The Lord of Weird Australia" and This is Horror called me "Australia's master of literary darkness." The graphic below shows all my stuff and how it interacts. I hope you'll give something there a go. More here: alanbaxter.com.au

I rarely read anything other than weird horror and SFF, but decided to give crime fiction a go.
King of Ashes is the best book I've read this year; it was difficult to put down, perfectly sculpted characters, tense, dark, it made me cry
Out of comfort zone often pays off. Ordered more S. A. Cosby

It's been a while since we visited the weird harbour town of Gulpepper. But now we're going back. The third volume in the Tales From The Gulp is coming in February 2026. Another five tales of horror. Are you ready for The Rise?

Read for a while if you can. Watch something. Eat tacos. Turn that music up. Text a friend. Check in with your forever demons. Drink from the skull of your enemies. Take care of yourself. Can’t fight the good fight if you burn out.

I think we need to get weirder. The more these fuckers fascistify everything, the more bonkers the rest of us need to be. Think of the weirdest, most un-conservative shit imaginable and do it with abandon constantly.

It's been one month since A GAME IN YELLOW released! 💛
But this year also marks 130 years of THE KING IN YELLOW. There have been many stories inspired by it, and it was a pleasure of many kinds to play with this wonderful cursed book myself.
May we be telling stories of Carcosa for 130 years more.
