Y'all read this, or what? Shit rips. You need it. Let it in.

It’s amazing! I’m honoured. Great work.

Honoured to be a part of this series. Thank you, Xavier, for spreading the worm gospel 🙏🏻

Thank you so much, Xavier. This means a lot!

My rabbit wasn’t a fan of the noise either, so I basically had to make a typewriter silencer with foam padding and a towel. Definitely helped! But yeah, I do find working on it forces me to concentrate in a more focused, linear way.

I was compelled by a similar disgust/anxiety recently. I have to say, though, cleaning up and restoring this thing scratched an itch in my brain that I never knew I had.

Very excited to have my story “From Cold Cometh the Devil” included here. It’s a departure from my usual work, and was a welcome challenge to write. Preorders are live and proceeds will be donated to a vitally important cause. You can find the links below!

My first review on this platform. Thank you, Brenaldinho, for the kind words.

Thank you! So glad you enjoyed it.

Fuck it. Trans folks need MATERIAL SUPPORT.

@distributeaid.org is launching an HRT Harm Reduction Toolkit that provides 1 year of medical supplies needed to take injection-based HRT. We were planning to go live in January, but I'm not waiting.

Nazi-punching horror. Fascism didn't die in 1945. Its grave was only temporary. Rising again, this undead ideology shambles into the present, gathering power and spreading destruction wherever it goes.This monster stalks t...

I was working on my novel, reading aloud a section I had just written, and looked over to see my partner’s dog looking at me like this. I’ll take it as an endorsement.

“…fantasy as horror is a perfect place for both genres to grow. By embracing that muddy, strange past there’s a new way forward. A new mind with which to explore the world through. A new locus from which something else can be born.”

The vibe I bring to the function.

Hahahahaha! Exactly the reaction I’m looking for.

Truly one of the greatest visual artists. Love her stuff so much going back to an old REH paperback I bought at a thrift store in high school (still have it!).
We were lucky enough to get the okay from her family to use one of her paintings on the cover of Profane Altars: Weird Sword & Sorcery.

As you know, I have Lupus as well. It affects my brain, primarily, which makes writing seem impossible at times. I’ve been in flare for the past year or so, but I’m on the mend now. Writing is therapeutic so it’s always weird to be cut off from it during periods of illness.

I think we might be on the cusp of a Sword & Sorcery revival in the small press sphere. Only this new wave will be even stranger and more genre-bending. Sam Richard and Matthew Mitchell’s upcoming Red of Tooth and Claw is one such work. Poetic, bizarre, grotesque, perverse, you can’t miss this one.

Deadline's coming up! Please share!

just had to pay $290 to continue using our newsletter service another year because I refuse to support substack so if you felt like subscribing and supporting an indie horror publisher / bookstore / writer that would be really cool, okay thanks! 🫠 buttondown.com/ghoulish

Getting ready for Nosferatu.

They certainly are! Hopefully the dark powers return your husband’s missing jumper.

Thanks so much! Love you, boo.

You just can’t trust those dog channels on YouTube anymore.

Our first holiday photos together turned out nicely.
