Day one of the TTL end of year reading starts with They Take You As They Find You by @lynorlane.bsky.social. Four youngsters and a non-talking animal in a van, looking into mysteries. Sound familiar? But this story has something different to say about monsters.
Beneath the table, a quiet snarl suggested that Scratcher would object to being dragged away from her stack of burgers, and the final person at the table—a pale, young woman with smudgy black circles beneath her eyes—said, “I’m with Scratcher. Can’t we just take it easy for a bit? That last case nearly killed me.” They Take You As They Find You Lane Robins

This is Phantom Pulse's first story of the week!

From Cosmic Horror Monthly comes "The Ones at the Top Didn't Fall There" by Joule K. Zelman. The story is pleasantly weird, the pacing is seamless, and the characterization is delightful.

Shout out to Joule K. Zelman!

Marina Cooper's poem "expense" is a lovely, painful exploration of what we give up for what we dream, and also a sea witch's sadness.
