Hey remember me saying how great @nightlightpod.bsky.social is? The creator could use a little help going back to school for a more stable career. I think we all have friends who can testify how brutal tech burnout is, and how much difference even a little help while recovering can make.

ICYMI, @nightlightpod.bsky.social is returning next month with an amazing story I’ll announce as soon as the contract is signed.

Meanwhile, consider signing up as a patron so you get access before the public!

Hey folks! We need your horror reprints! We'll be opening submissions back up soon so watch out for the announcement! We only accept stories from Black writers so don't try us, white folks.

With horror, there is the tension of not having a clue what is going to happen next; or of knowing what is going to happen next, watching the characters as they skip on to their fate;. Or not having any idea what to hope for at all. This story brings all three.

It's Halloween, and you know what that means! Our season finale is ready for your ears: The Ballad of the Wayfaring Stranger and the Dead Man's Whore by Sean Demory
