Contra Amatores Mundi: A Gothic Fantasy by Graham Thomas Wilcox Contra Amatores Mundi is a love story soaked in martial theology and stylistic decadence.

Thank you Matt Holder at Strange Horizons for the lovely review of Contra Amatores Mundi! We hope the novella's strange words and weird prose can excite many of us during this Halloween season :)

The ivory Pequod was turned into what seemed a shamble; every sailor a butcher.

an early 15th century night sits atop a caparisonned "Horse" which itself is stood in some shallow water. The Knight wears a bascinet and has a shield with his heraldry on (mirrored on tha caparison) the horse's head has been replaced with a shrine of some king where a whithered figure holds a book open, forwards away from the horse, the shrine is surrounded by candles.

I'm in my normal horse era.

Beneath Ceaseless Skies - The Good Life and the Gaze of Staivash by Jonathan Olfert She'd just tucked three of the little slips into the hem of her robe, and one into each cheek high behind the teeth, and the last into a crack in the stool as a cache, and the blacksmith was offering ...

In BCS #440: "The Good Life and the Gaze of Staivash" @jonolfert.bsky.social. "She'd just tucked three of the slips into the hem of her robe when two tall, smiling, sunburned men ducked inside. They wore cuirasses engraved with five-petaled rosettes." www.beneath-ceaseless-skies.com/stories/the-...

A great weekend of support, and only 70 hours left to reach our goal! Letโ€™s visit together the stories of garden planets, sorrow caverns, carnivorous malls, jungle cathedrals, endless basements, whispering tundras, fungus skyscrapers. kck.st/4mIkEm1

A hill I will die on is that Borges' "The Book of Sand" is one of the best examples of cosmic horror in print, to date. Borges does more with five pages than I could do with fifty. If you haven't read it, you should do yourself a favour and do so.
