The book cover for Smoke Season, a novel by Carrie Laben, features a horned female figure overlooking a mountain range. Instead of a face, she wears a goetic sigil. This image is upside down.

I would boycott them but I don’t go there as it is. Now I will not go there with intent.

Solidarity. Sometimes when I do go out I’m not sure if I’m behaving like a regular human being or will be a weird story someone tells their friends.

UPDATE: I heard from payment processor Stripe - it was indeed nefarious types testing stolen gift card numbers. I changed some Stripe settings to make this kind of thing harder to do, and books are back on sale at the web store. I will still honor this offer though - If you want the books, just ask.

Any sales of e-books does go to me, but in reality very few people buy them. I'm happy just to get the stories out there so other folks can read these authors that I like so much. 🤘

Can confirm - audiobook version is fantastic. Everyone should get this, check @libro.fm if you don’t want to feed the Bozos beast.

This looks to be a very cool and idiosyncratic horror video game. Love the visuals. Over 90% funded, 5 days left to get it across the finish line. Thanks @slimyswampghost.bsky.social for reporting and bringing it to my attention.

"Homecoming" is a full novella and I regret not releasing it on its own. An excellent story.

It looks like credit card thieves have been ordering these low-priced virtual items to check the validity of stolen card info. Fuck that, I would rather give them away. 4 anthologies, 73 prime weird fiction stories. TOCs for each book are on their respective store pages: dimshores.bigcartel.com

Books covers of four Dim Shores anthologies with a large notice saying “FREE E-BOOKS”. The anthologies and their covers are:

Looming Low Volume II (cover art by Yves Tourigny) - A bright white/orange sun/eyeball rises over a dark orange and brown desolate landscape. A crumbling tower and tiny human figure are in the foreground.

Looming Low Volume I (cover art by Yves Tourigny) - A dark teal and black moon/skull rises over a mysterious, misty landscape with clumps of trees. A small car driving down a small road with headlights on is moving towards a silhouetted figure in the foreground.

Dim Shores Presents Volume 1 (cover art by Mr. Anthrope) - A shrouded semi-transparent figure with no face and clasped hands in shades of purple, blue, and gray is seen from the waist up, superimposed over twisted trees in a dark forest.

Dim Shores Presentds Volume 2 (cover art by Russell Smeaton) - A large humanoid creature crouches on top of a mountain. It has long bulky arms and legs, and a curling trunk or tentacle for a head. Purple clouds swirl behind it, with a swarm of small black birds on the upper right.

Seems pretty trivial given everything else going on right now, but a quick notice to say all Dim Shores e-books are now free until further notice. Just ask and I will send you a ZIP file with all four anthologies released to date, no DRM.

While independent bookstores are giving out free whistles, hosting protest sign making events, and donating proceeds to mutual aid, Amazon is *checks notes* providing technology that assists ICE in their terrorizing of communities.

Independent bookstores deserve your support. Amazon does not.
