two panel meme, with burning buildings on the top panel and will ferrel, his hands cupped on either side of his face, shouting in the bottom. It's captioned "YOU GUYS WANT TO READ WEREWOLF BOOKS?" and around his yelling face are the three covers in the Learn to Howl trilogy. Learn to Howl: The cover for Learn to Howl: a black wolf with blue eyes in profile on a red background, her ear pinned back and her teeth and tongue visible. Baying the Moon: the cover for Baying the Moon: a open-mouthed wolf facing you so that you're staring down its labyrinthine throat) an at all those teeth, on a red background The Company of Wolves: The Company of Wolves cover: a black wolf, head turned to the left and mouth open as though its crying out, and part of it is shattering apart like broken glass or a mirror, with a bullet hole in it, revealing a haggard-looking human face beneath, just a blue eye and some black hair painted by my cousin Hudson Fraser, who you can find at https://www.instagram.com/hudsonfraser.art .

please buy and rate my books so scammers stop putting the descriptions into an LLM and emailing me about it!

LEARN TO HOWL is a complete trilogy about family, identity, and kicking ass as a fucking werewolf

Goldendoodle napping on the corner of a lap desk.

Pax may be napping but he also makes sure I'm not alone while I read story submissions.

Of course I would play without them aging, because if I killed any of them, I would cry.

I keep looking up layouts for the house in the Golden Girls, because I want to build the house in Sims and play as Blanche, Dorothy, Rose, and Sophia. I've been thinking about which traits and aspirations I should give them and everything.

One of our country's greatest war criminals just died, the president is arguing with himself about whether or not to let 40 million people starve, and there is an actual courtroom drama about a five dollar footlong.

How are any of us supposed to maintain emotional regulation.

Indigenous Author Submissions On November 3rd, we will be opening for speculative fiction stories written by Indigenous authors. We will be capping submissions at 500.

The sub call for Indigenous writers is now open! strangehorizons.com/wordpress/no...

Tubi has ALL the Puppet Master movies. I'm cleaning today, so guess what's going to be playing the background all day.

The sound effects in this movie are so funny. 😂

"This is a movie star bed."

Haha!

I don't know but I'm very upset by it. I need 6 more weeks of Halloween.

And the Apex Kickstarter is over. A huge thank you to everyone who helped us reach our goal for 2026. I'm very excited to bring you another year of weird dark stories.

We're only $586 away from unlocking our first stretch goal - a Drabble submission period edited by Kai Delmas. With 47 minutes to go. Can we get there? www.kickstarter.com/projects/ape...

There have definitely been nights where Oz sleeps right behind my knees and I feel like I can't move all night long, but for the most part he sleeps in the middle of the bed by our feet.

My husband was dead set that the dog wasn't sleeping with us when we got Oz. Oz is 9 now and has slept with us for last 9 years. Honestly I miss it if he's not there, but when we got Pax, we decided he'd sleep with our teen so we wouldn't end up with two dogs in bed with us.

Drinking coffee and watching the minutes tick down on the Apex Kickstarter like a complete weirdo. 96 minutes to go.

Less than 24 hours left in the Apex Magazine Kickstarter. If they get a few thousand dollars more the world gets to read a special issue of Apex focused on unpublished authors!

I saw his name in the credits, but it took me WAY too long to recognize that was him.

WE WANT DRABBLES
Come on, everyone, we can do it 🔥

Support them if you can. Unless you don’t like great stories. Then maybe support them anyways, you weirdo.

The world needs great stories written by humans now more than ever. ☠️

Absolutely! I do the same!! Love Tubi!

Hahaha! I watched Slugs over the weekend with my kiddo and Squirm two nights ago! Both were amazing! Tubi has been feeding me all my creepy crawly movie wishes and I am loving it!

want to buy my ENTIRE DIGITAL CATALOG?

well you can do that AND benefit Apex! It's an add-on!

Despite facts meaning nothing to the writer or director, this movie was a lot of fun! It's on Tubi, if you're looking for something highly entertaining to watch.

Tonight I think I'm going to watch Empire of the Ants (1977).

I think it's supposed to take place in Florida or somewhere near the Gulf coast and it's JULY, but everyone is running around in long sleeves and jackets. Just why?!?! And the heavy use of stock footage was something else.

Sam Elliot plays an eco-photojournalist who gets swept up in their festivities after nearly being run over by a speed boat. People start dying in strange animal-related "accidents" but the grandfather will NOT let anyone leave and ruin his party.

Last night's creature feature was Frogs (1972). This movie was WILD! The amount of times I yelled "That isn't how that works!" was nuts. It features a wealthy family celebrating the 4th of July and a few family birthday parties on their island estate.

There are officially only 24 hours left in the Apex Magazine 2026 Kickstarter and we're only $1,300 away from unlocking our first stretch goal. Any support you can give us is greatly appreciated. I'm just so grateful we have funded and will be back next year. www.kickstarter.com/projects/ape...

As an editor who's also a writer, it's especially painful to read a beautifully crafted submission from a writer with obvious talent and have to reject it—for any number of reasons. Writers, we want every one of you to be our next yes!!
