Honoured that I was asked to draw little friends for the interior of Issue 1, go check it out and the wonderful writing within! (Also the cover by @hvmator.bsky.social is sooo rad)

UPDATED INFO on Lit for Queer Liberation!

the auction now runs from March 8th (THIS SUNDAY) to March 14th, and I've donated signed copies of HAMMAJANG LUCK plus its standalone sequel THE OBAKE CODE. I'm also throwing in FOUR PRINTS of Edie, Angel, Malia, and Sol by Kels Gottschlichl! art downthread

The interior of Issue 1 has the best little guys, all wonderfully created by @demonography.bsky.social! Please enjoy this peek ✨

I read the debut issue of @othersidespec.bsky.social recently. Every single poem and story was a banger.

The Cookout: A Speculative Fiction Anthology Sci-fi, fantasy, & horror stories by Black authors, centering traditions of “the cookout” — the joy, the drama, and the delicious food.

Less than one week left to back THE COOKOUT anthology of speculative fiction from the African Diaspora. Only 250 to go until we open public submissions (paying at least 10 cents per word), and just over 1k to go until we're funded. You can push us over the top! #authors #readers #speculativefiction

ICYMI! Feat. strange & wonderful queer stories and poems (incl. @ayidashonibar.bsky.social's dark delight "The Homeowner's Bride" & my Indian vampire reprint "The Vetala of Crystal Vellam Inlet") + an essay by @jackiehedeman.bsky.social ("He Is Survived By His Wife") that brought tears to my eyes!

Hi yes we are still flailing about Issue 1's release! While the issue will be free to read on our site starting March 15th, you can read it sooner and support us in the process by snagging a copy now!

We couldn't be happier with this issue. We're so in love with these stories. ✨

Huge congrats to the OTHERSIDE team for their first issue!
