Looking for a story about mushroom people rising up from the sewers to revolt against a megalomaniacal billionaire playing fascist dictator? Check out my novella, CITY OF SPORES—a proudly anti-fascist, anti-capitalist mushroom noir where the bad guys get what’s coming to them. Link in bio.

Y’all NEED to preorder a copy of @ivygrimes.bsky.social’s novel right now! It’s so freaking good! A perfect distillation of her one-of-a-kind mix of the surreal and absurd, all wrapped up in the guise of a modern Southern fairy tale. I loved this book so much!

With the cancellation of many preorders due to a technical error, I’d appreciate any boost of my debut horror collection to try to recover.
It’s sad, gruesome, and ranges from parent horror to sapphic cannibalism, hell hounds to lusting for lathes, masochistic androids to dementia 🖤
Thank you!
