YouTube video by Sam Moss Author Tutorial: Finding a Link to a Story that is No Longer Available

Have you ever published a story, poem or essay online, only to have the venue fold and your work disappear?

It's not fun, but there is a good technique that can help you out.

I put together a quick video that shows how to find a saved copy of your work: youtu.be/v_Pym4yd528

Harry Callahan, New York, 1978

"The cat stretched in the sunlight and talked to us, eyes narrowed, while Marco demonstrated the library machines."

Incredible restraint, a sense of mystery that lingers, a lazing library cat! @addisonzeller.bsky.social is back in hex with an absolute wonder that we can't stop thinking about! Go! 🐈‍⬛

Got a lil bagatelle at beloved @hexliterary.bsky.social

Breakfast chains and how I imagine they lean politically:
- IHOP: Center-Right International Liberalist/Europhile
- Dennys: Rothbardian Libertarian
- Waffle House: Anarcho-Crust-Syndicalist
- Cracker Barrel: Ultra-MAGA
- First Watch: Posadist

The writer's incredible ability to simultaneously believe "no one reads my work" and "everyone has seen this and thinks it's old hat"

I can't be the only author who shies away from submitting reprints because you think "everyone's seen this before" (they haven't)

Listing Price: 1D6 Million Dollars

She’s aware this is not a new thought but it feels generically true even if, like, equal rights for parasites?

This organism, the intelligent rage of life, assembling itself without the ecstasy of conception. A pure mutant born of loveless turmoil. If the world did have a consciousness humans would basically be parasites, Joy thinks.

The lightning establishing a global nervous system, joining the sky and the sea and the earth to a rolling, dissociative, voice trying to articulate the indifferent rage of a body coming into disciplined existence.

She looks out at the sea and watches as the lightning does something sublimely terrifying to the world. Rendering the world an organ, turning the sky internal, and revealing its subordination.

Reprint in progress, a massive historical gothic adventure novel by Charles Maturin, set during the Albigensian Crusade, complete with werewolves (!) and some great epigraphs. "A gentle knight came pricking o'er the plain."

If someone gave me a million dollars I’d use it to write a book on weird fiction but if someone else gave me a million more dollars I’d use it to fund a site aping the Metal Archives database but for jazz sessionographies

Wild to think that, in the future, there might be a question on a high school history test like:

Q: Who is considered to have first brought the famine and genocide in Gaza to the world's attention?

A: Donald Trump
B: Marjorie Taylor Greene
C: Theo Von
D: All of the Above

out Sept 26th on LP, CD, & digi

We're so happy to have world's nicest man Daryl Groetsch back in HausMo zones with a spellbinding new LP that finds him dipping his toes into progressive synth composition, jazz-inspired harmonies, & intricate rhythmic swirls.

I don’t think writers need to worry about AI writing novels/stories/poems. I think we’ll all be dead or in prison before that’s at issue.

we're on hiatus for the summer after all that, but don't miss what we've got lined up for September ...

Two Birds, One Chuff (they both have an okay time)

Just got my hands on a chuff film. Lad gets drowned in Boddington's. Dark stuff.

CW: depictions of a Brit 'getting chuffed'.

ergot. innovative + experimental horror

"It occurs to us at once the things we should have asked the baby. A cure for cancer, you suggest. An end to war, I suggest. Hunger, says someone else. Pain, I say."

Today on ergot.: 'THE THINGS WE SHOULD HAVE ASKED THE BABY' by @kayv.bsky.social

www.ergot.press/authors/Kay_...

we'll also be open to non-fiction and experimental writing, and are always open to extracts from published/too be published books (this is not an invitation to send an excerpt from your WIP, extracts must have a confirmed publisher) as well as interviews and texts in Spanish ...

the other forest

Once upon a time i worked in southern Idaho, monitoring plants. It was a very formative time in my life. This story (my first ever published flash, i think) comes from that time. Now out at ergot.! 👶🌵

"Another Language Caught Within" Featuring grids, cubes, kobolds, Proust(s), aliens, gods, a giant bag of sand, synth-pop Verfremdungseffekten

Today's email edition features new work from @perfidiousscript.bsky.social, something from the archive by Nico Teixeira...

In case you missed it: I had three poems published on Always Crashing yesterday.

The writing mode that produced these poems came on suddenly, lasted for a month or so, then left.

It was a strange time and the closest I've ever felt to being 'inhabited'.

SAMUEL M. MOSS / SOME COLUMN POEMS — always crashing Due to their layout, these pieces are best viewed in landscape mode or on desktop.

Very excited to have three poems up on @alwayscrashing.bsky.social today under the title 'Some Column Poems'

There is a lot 'behind' these poems, but my hope is that they stand on their own without context or explanation.

I recorded a podcast episode today where I appeared as a guest, the third podcast I've attempted! I sounded like an ass, yes, but I'm working on it.

I'll post my first two attempts as a podcast guest below so you can observe my horrible evolution:
