Thank you so much Leanna -- my Ko-fi is here: ko-fi.com/evaroslinwri...; I would appreciate any re-boosts and shares. Maybe I can also add the 3k as a specific goal.

Of course, friend!

😊

Argh… should say read AT LEAST 3 stories by 😁

Great topic! A few authors I’ve read short stories by (published in the last 10 years):

@tananarivedue.bsky.social

Not yet, but I own the first one. Soon! 😁

1. Robin Hobb
2. Paul Tremblay
3. Seanan McGuire
4. John Scalzi
5. Stephen King

Great list! I hope to add Tananarive Due to mine soon (only at 3, alas!)

Promo graphic for the Apex Reader's Choice Awards announcing "Ghosts of Summer" by Catherine Tavares (me!) won for original fiction. The background is a colorful outer space scene and the alien Apex logo is on the right side.

Aahh! "Ghosts of Summer" won the Apex Reader's Choice Award for original fiction!!! 🥹☺️

Thank you so much to @apexmag.bsky.social for giving my story its home. And to all the readers-your support and delight for this story means the world. Thank you!💖

What’s better than some creepy crawly love on this Valentine’s Day?? Support this mag and find my story “The Brood Thanks You for Your Service” inside this awesome issue. 💕🕷️💕

Hugo Award Nominations are open! Here's a reminder of all the things I published this year. This is also my first year of eligibility for the ASTOUNDING AWARD! 🤩 💙💫

Cover art for YOUR FINAL SUNSET by SJ Townend. Shows people floating upwards into an ominous-looking sky.

Cover art for TOO BAD, YOU DIED anthology edited by Damien Casey. Shows a skull in the grass with a leaf-covered scythe above it.

Cover art for BRAVE NEW WEIRD VOL. 3, edited by Alex Woodroe. Styled to look like a cereal box, shows a green skeleton eating from a cereal bowl.

***Short Story Rec!***
(horror/weird fiction):

“I Have Seen Seven Bad Things” by @sjtownend.bsky.social . Thoughts gravitating between “that was so weird” and “that was brilliant”. I’ve read this one probably half a dozen times, never gets old.

You can read it in any one of these three books:

a trash can with the words get in the bin written above it ALT: a trash can with the words get in the bin written above it

You could do Veronica but with a Jason mask!

From @BagBonesPress over on X:

Dear Bone Bags,
Greetings.
It's been a while...
Our bones are itching to put out another charity horror story call. Is there anybody out there? Are you still writing?
We're open to call-theme pitches.
Please share your ideas in this thread.
Love and darkness,
BoB.

Small wooden circular table sits on a colorful striped rug. On the table is a copy of P.A. Cornell’s retrofuturistic noir love story SHOESHINE BOY & CIGARETTE GIRL. The book is surrounded by a cup of tea, a bookmark, and a pair of reading glasses.

It’s my book birthday!

All new to me - thanks for the list, Dana!

That's a great idea. I think I might try the same this year!

What were some favorite stories you discovered doing this?

Thanks Dana! I have a few of those I haven’t read yet 😅. I’ll have to get to them soon, I’m definitely in a short story mood lately!

Cover art for the anthology “Inferno” edited by Ellen Datlow. Artwork shows flames in the background. A list of authors includes Nathan Ballingrud, Elizabeth Bear, Jeffrey Ford, and others.

Now reading! What are some other good non-themed horror anthologies (preferred if readily available in ebook format)?

Nice! I’ve just read the first two Books of Blood, The Hellbound Heart, and (one of my all-time faves) The Thief of Always.

And ahahaha that’s good! 🦷

Good to know! Glad you’re enjoying it. Even though he’s one of the first horror authors I ever read, I’ve only read four of his books. Might be time to try some more soon 😁

Hope the dentist went well, too!!

How’s the book so far?

A new Jeffrey Ford story is always a cause for celebration!

@markpeters.bsky.social Thanks for all your editorial support with this anthology. You're a star x

And thanks to all the wonderfully creative authors who submitted stories to us at Bag of Bones Press for our Skin call in 2024.

Yay! I had so much fun working on this book with you!

In today's Editor Pick: Every morning, a lone deer waits at the window; what begins as a child’s comfort curdles into a lesson about hunger, neglect and the terrible cost of being watched. It's Dear/Deer by Abigail Kemske (@abigailkemske.bsky.social)! Read it for free at gavagai.com/posts/965
