i'm going to ask again if you would consider my novella, The Death of Mountains (from @lethepress.bsky.social) which is on the Locus Recommended Reading List and is a finalist for the L.A. Times Book Prize.
it's pocket-sized and has a mountain that talks!
Well done!

Congratulations to @jordankurella.com for making this list with DEATH OF MOUNTAINS, which is a brilliant novella. The best thing you can do know to distract yourself from the world is read something otherworldly.

Extract from Rob Reiner's Wikipedia Filmography 1986 - Stand By zme 1987 - The Princess Bride 1989 - When Harry Met Sally 1990 - Misery 1992 - A Few Good Men
Rob Reiner: I'm going to make a coming of age drama, a fantasy adventure story, a romantic comedy, a psychological horror and then a courtroom drama.
Us: Across your entire career?
Reiner: In a 6 year period.
Us: That sounds-
Reiner: -Each one will be arguably the best movie in that genre.
And your story was one of the more lush and horrific tales I’ve read. I literally gasped at the end during my submission reading.

Red curtains and a skull make up the cover of "Final Curtain: Tales Inspired by The Phantom of the Opera".
A mysterious dirge in human form, Leroux's "Phantom of the Opera" is both man and monster, the villain of one of the more famous novels of the early 20th century.
And now, an impressive anthology of horror and weird fiction from @lethepress.bsky.social 🎭💙📚
