Capitalism has built a society that encourages and enables these tech oligarchs to believe they're important, that they're critical thinkers, and that they know what's best for us and society. It's well past time to eat the rich.

This one is indeed rather good.

Really enjoyed the imagery and atmosphere of this one when I read it back when the issue came out. Still enjoyed it on reread. I keep a list of stories where I found something to like and want to come back to it, and this was one of them.

Might be my fave in that issue.

Hauntingly beautiful.

Skinless and Beautiful — Weird Horror Magazine

@spencerwriting.bsky.social's IN THE DREAM, HE IS SKINLESS AND BEAUTIFUL is on HWA Bram Stoker Award Reading List. What's that mean? Don't know. But maybe you want to read and rec a story about skin, loss, and the dripping viscera of the thoughts we keep inside ourselves.

The cover of The Ghost Sequences by A C Wise

Started this in spooky season but because of [gestures vaguely] just finished it. This is a wonderful collection of stories. There’s genuine creeping horror, there are surreal moments, something a little gristly. What lends impact is the grounding in excellent characters 1/2
