We would like you to write a hypothetical meeting between humanity and a form of alien life. It can be from the human's perspective, the alien's perspective, whatever you want! Write a fantasy, sci-fi, or horror microfiction piece up to 300 words.
Email the piece to darian@apexbookcompany.com. The top three will be voted on among Apex staff, and the winners will be published on the Apex blog, as well as sent an ARC of MULTITUDE and a keychain! Contest closes on March 9th.

Over 100 ratings on Goodreads and a great introduction to my work.

A horror nostalgia anthology that feels like a convention in book form.
We reviewed Poisoned Soup for the Macabre, Depraved, and Insane, published by @brigidsgatepress.bsky.social

Rejection on a final round hold from a professional paying market. They're the toughest, but it's part of the process. I like to share such things to encourage others not to give up. We all go through it.π
