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

I think if a poetry journal sticks an AI slop image onto your poem when they publish it online, they should refund the reading fee you probably had to pay them.

With the Haunting of Hill House being one of my favorite books, I would love to write something like that with Shirley Jackson. Not necessarily a haunted house, but some weird quiet horror! #HorrorWritersChat
So what do you think you would write, #HorrorWritersChat? The end is looming. Outro coming soon.

Since traveling through time would be an unknown journey, pretty much anything that could go wrong through the actual traveling. Maybe some entity lives along the "road" used for time travel or it could inflict alien biology onto the traveler. #Horrorwriterschat
So #HorrorWritersChat we're on the past now, so lets talk time travel. It's usually more scifi than horror but how could you incorporate it into horror? I'm all ears.

Probably the 20s and 30s. I just love the weird pulp vibes of the time plus the lack of modern day technology. #Horrorwriterschat
I'm very much enjoying the historical doppelgangers. Well done #HorrorWriterChat bods.
So this question assumes that you have full knowledge of the era. You don't have to choose one you do write in, but you can. You absolutely can.

I'm Pierce, from VA. I don't know if I could say any historical writer is my doppelganger, but I LOVE Shirley Jackson and Ray Bradbury!
Well hello #HorrorWritersChat, are you ready? Of course you're ready you wonderful scallywags. Go on then flex your intros. And leave the links at home for now thanky kindly. You know why.
