Our story of the week is “Things I Don’t Tell My Sister” by MM Schreier in Factor Four Magazine.
This story teases you with one horror of sisterhood only to hit you with a different one altogether at the end. Short, sweet, and sublimely messed up.

We’ve been reading ancient tomes (recently published mags) in search of eldritch truths (Friday’s story of the week). What have you read this week?

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!
