The Uterus Is an Impossible Forest — CandiKat Horror Here, the trees hold impossible magic; their roots are a haunted house, a spiral, a three-knock ritual on the fairy-tale door. When you wander into its arms, it’s important to surrender: eat the apple...

Reading #TheUterusIsAnImpossibleForest by Shannon Kearns was a walk through a dark, dappled forest where mushrooms grow and wild creatures populate inside and outside of us, where sunlight only rarely makes it way through the canopy. TY #NetGalley and @rdspress.bsky.social for the ARC. Full Review:

“Kinski was renowned as much for his talent as his temper, but for me, there’s no difference. My talent is my temper and vice versa.” —USURPER

She is looking at the camera and sipping out of a white coffee mug with the iconic Shirley Jackson Awards logo: black cat-eye glasses over the red lettering.

It's good, but also weird, to look back on the years!

I spent way too much time updating our site with a bibliography of all the books we've published going back to 2003. It's interesting to realize we've released more than 200 books, so an average of 10 titles per year, and nearly 90% of our books are still in print. rawdogscreaming.com/schedule/

One week until we find out if any of these nominated books receive a Shirley Jackson Award. So, we've put all 4 on sale and they all come with a lovely bookmark provided by the awards committee. @edenroyce.bsky.social @timmcgregor.bsky.social @genni.bsky.social rawdogscreaming.com/author-tag/s...
